Spaced Repetition for Educators

As educators, we are always testing out new methods to boost learning and retention for our students. Spaced repetition is a powerful tool of method that can benefit both students and teachers! 😍

When you incorporate it into your teaching strategy, you can improve the scores of your students. In addition, it also helps simplify lesson planning and allow for greater understanding of the course material. In this article, we will explore how spaced repetition can transform your classroom!

It boosts long term retention

One of the key benefits of spaced repetition is how it enhances the long term retention of students💡. Unlike traditional cramming, which leads to short term memory retention… spaced repetition helps students remember information over extended periods of time. 👏

This is beneficial for educators because it means less time spent on reviewing old material and more time focusing on learning and exploring new material! Imagine if your students can retain key information from the beginning of a semester until the final exam — this is a reality with spaced repetition 🎉.

Personalized learning path

Spaced repetition makes the learning experienced more personalized to each student. With study tools like the Voovo App, students can focus their study time on areas and topics they are less confident on! This way, less time is wasted on things that they know confidently already. 🤓

This adaptive learning method makes sure every student progresses the best they can, at their own pace. It caters to diverse learning needs and narrows the achievement gap. 🥇

Statistics driven teaching method

When spaced repetition is incorporated into your teaching via apps like Voovo, you receive insights into how your students are performing. 💪 This allows for you to track the topics your students are struggling with and adjust your teaching according to the insights. As a result, your students can achieve better scores on their exams.

Reduces cognitive overload

There are many complicated topics which may seem overwhelming, but when they are broken down into manageable chunks… the cognitive load is reduced and it becomes much easier to teach and retain the information. Spaced repetition allows for this. As a result, stress levels are reduced and the learning process becomes much more enjoyable for students! 😍

💡 Decreased cognitive load = lower stress levels = a more positive classroom environment

Prepares students for lifelong learning

Spaced repetition isn’t simply an exam preparation tool, it is also a skill that can help prepare students for lifelong learning! When students are taught how to use spaced repetition, they are equipped with a skill that they can use in any learning context outside of school — from learning a new language to developing new professional skills for a job 💪🎉.

💡 Educators play a key role in helping students become ready for the adult world — spaced repetition is a tool that can help in this process to become independent, self led learners.
