60% sequentially: in a logical progression of small incremental steps; 40% globally: in large jumps, holistically. Recapitulation • Students build on prior knowledge. • Students need effective organizing schemes. • Students need to be actively participating in the learning process. • Students need frequent practice and timely and constructive feedback. • Multiple representations enhance learning for all learners. • An understanding of the way you learn – metacognition – can “improve” the process.
