Week 2 learning summary
What did we learn this week?
© Chartered College of Teaching
What have we learned this week?
- Engagement with research evidence around dual coding and cognitive load theory has helped us to consider possible changes to our practice to improve the presentation of new ideas to pupils so that their working memory doesn’t become overloaded.
- Engagement with research evidence around effective collaboration has helped us to consider possible changes to our practice.
- Written and video case studies from schools have demonstrated how education technologies might be used to build new knowledge and understanding.
Poster
We’ve created a poster to summarise the key learning on how to present new knowledge effectively. You can download it at the bottom of the page.

Next week
Next week, we’ll be exploring research about memory and how we can make learning stick.
We’ll be introduced to retrieval practice, elaboration, and spacing. After engaging with research evidence, we’ll view a range of case studies from schools about how they’re using technology to support these areas of their teaching and learning practice.
Week 3: Technology to support learning that sticks
- How can we support pupils’ long-term retention of content learnt using retrieval practice, elaboration and spacing?
- How might technology effectively support the retention of learning?
- In what circumstances might we choose to use (or not use) technology as a tool to support learning that sticks?
