LEARNING
Split Attention Principle: The split attention principle suggests that
when presenting information, you should avoid requiring learners to
simultaneously process multiple sources of information that are not
naturally integrated. In other words, you should not force learners to
split their attention between, for example, reading a text and referring to
a separate diagram or image to understand the same concept. This can
create cognitive overload and hinder learning. Instead, it's better to
integrate relevant information so that learners can focus their attention
on a single, coherent source.
Practice and Interactivity Principle: Active learning and interactive exercises (e.g.,
quizzes, simulations, and problem-solving activities) can enhance retention and
comprehension by engaging learners in the learning process.
Spacing and Retrieval Practice: Spacing out learning sessions over time and
incorporating periodic retrieval practice (quizzing or testing) can improve long-term
retention and recall.
