Aim of today’s session:
This evening, we will:
❏ Explore the process of memory to understand how learning works so that we consider how to improve as a learner.
❏ Investigate different revision methods in order to improve the strategies that you use to prepare for exams.
❏ Ensure that parents are ‘skilled up’ to help support at home.

What implications does the ‘dual
coding’ theory have for us, as learners, and for the revision strategies we use?

Dual coding
“The process of combining verbal materials with visual materials. There are many ways to visually represent material, such as with infographics, timelines, cartoon strips, diagrams, and graphic organisers. When you have the same information in two formats – words and visuals – it gives you two ways of remembering the information later on. Combining these visuals with words is an effective way to study.”

Dual coding:
X is not about drawing pretty pictures or being good at Art
X is not about using different coloured pens
X is not just about revision strategies for pupils

The technique...
1. Revision Notes Area: Record notes from information given BUT keep as short but as meaningful as possible.
2. Key Question Column: When taking notes, keep question column empty. Soon after completing the revision notes, think of questions that the revision notes are the answers for.
3. Summaries: Sum up each page of notes in a sentence or two or by recording a summary of key terms.
