Prime your learners for new information with these strategies.
From the Archives
Our Monday blog introduced some ideas for getting your students to engage with course content through Outdoor Active Learning Activities. Another strategy to increase engagement is to prime them for new topics using one of these strategies:
1. Pre-exposure
Pre-exposing your learners to information they need to master creates the pathways for them to recall that information.
2. Activating prior knowledge
Since your students bring a host of prior knowledge to your course, use that to their benefit by providing opportunities for them to be cognizant about connecting prior knowledge to new knowledge.
3. Retrieval practice
Have students intentionally recall prior information so they can actively work with it. The subtle but distinct difference between this and activating prior knowledge is that they must do something with the retrieval of this prior knowledge.
Revisit our post from January to learn more about priming your students to learn new information.
