Developing study skills that incorporate testing myself will require ease of feeling overwhelmed, as well as helping with concentration and becoming more comfortable and confident . Practicing remembering information over time will help you remember for an effective assessment by reviewing study guides and creating pre-tests at home. 3The information provided by Karpicke and Roediger can help me, as an educator and other educators, consider various learning methods. Using the test as a learning tool rather than simply as an assessment of knowledge can be essential to aid the effectiveness of student learning. Since the experiment demonstrated that learning conditions in which retrieval was repeated caused students to remember 80% of the pairs compared to 33% of those in which retrieval was not performed, practice demonstrates that the test can be used as a learning tool. In my classroom I would implement pre-tests for homework and/or extra credit assignments, as well as implement classroom activities such as games where the tests take place in a common group setting. Retrieval is easier when related information is stored in close association with each other (Ormord p. 212). Therefore, I would have students get together in pairs and test each other on the information as soon as the lesson was over as a form of review and testing
