Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives was formulated in the 1950s by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom (Lasley, 2016). Essentially, this is a framework for organizing learning objectives and activities into different levels of complexity. This framework tracks student abilities and development as learning progresses from simple memorizat...
The Feynman method (or Feynman technique) is a teaching and learning technique espoused by Richard Feynman, who won the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in quantum electrodynamics (NobelPrize.org, 2022). This technique aims to enable one to explain what he/she knows in a very simple way. It is a very effective method for teaching a complex ...
Passive listening to lectures has always been the norm in university lectures. A better method of active learning called the Weiman method of scientific teaching has been proven more effective. Carl Wieman, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2001, has long been a proponent of this method. In active learning, students perform activities that require...
The Pomodoro technique (Cirillo, 2006) consists of doing a specific task with 25 minutes of intense concentration, followed by a 5-minute break. After 20 cycles, a 20-minute break is taken. The main idea is that the period of intense concentration should be devoted solely to the single task at hand, with no distractions. Use a timer to time the ste...
“Learning styles" refers to the preference of different people to process information in different ways and, thus, they learn more effectively when they receive instruction in a way that matches their preferences. One of the most popular learning style inventories is called VARK, for its visual, aural, verbal [reading/writing], and kinesthetic aspe...
Howard Gardner posited that a single measure of intelligence, known as “g" is not the only form of intelligence—in fact, humans have seven to 10 intelligences, known as “Multiple Intelligences" (MIs) (Gardner, 1983). The list started off with the first seven intelligences (domains of individual differences) in the following list, but has recently b...
Neuroimagingutilizes fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), which measures brain activity by determining the levels of oxygenated blood, or high brain activities, in certain brain areas when given a specific stimulus or task. Specifically, the main technique is known as Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imagin...
Mnemonics
Mnemonics are great for memorizing long, complex lists by using memorable and easy words to replace the list, using the first letter in common. PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) is a great mnemonic for remembering the order of mathematical operations—Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication / Division, then Addition / Subtraction (from left to right).
Memory Palace
The memory palace method or method of loci is a memorization strategy that utilizes visualizations of familiar spatial environments to enhance recall. Functional neuroimaging of superior memorizers showed that they do not have exceptional intellectual ability or remarkable structural brain differences. Instead, they found that these individuals use a spatial learning strategy, engaging the hippocampus which is critical to spatial memory (Maguire, et al, 2003).
Flash Cards
Flash cards are also extremely useful; questions are printed on one side, with the answer at the back. Figuring out the answers quickly and repeating this with a set of information is very helpful to retention and memorization. This is popular among pharmaceutical students who have to memorize thousands of drugs, and medical students who memorize much information, anatomy and physiology included. Coupled with good instructional design, the future looks bright for these kinds of technologies.
Technology Factors
In modern classrooms, laptops are replacing pen and paper for taking lecture notes, but some people, particularly of older generations, still find it more helpful to memorize when they write things down. Writing down information several times forges neural pathways related to kinesthetic and visual learning.
AI-assisted Learning
The emergence of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) signals the start of more personalized adaptive learning environments for students. Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots or servers continuously learn where students succeed and fail via deep learning and machine learning; they then adapt their teaching pedagogy to the students’ level and devise ways to help increase their understanding and knowledge, and eventually, retention and mastery. Some basic psychometric perspectives for knowledge asse...
Distance and Hybrid Learning
The COVID-19 pandemic and current realities of working and studying from home have made distance learning and hybrid learning the de facto mode of instruction, and this will continue in the foreseeable future. In addition, teaching methods and strategies for adult learnerswill be more needed. There are many more future trends. For example, miniaturization of electronics devices have always been the trend and it would not be surprising to find teaching and learning to be molded by these new te...
Cultural differences significantly influence teaching and learning, affecting how students engage with content, interact with instructors, and participate in the classroom. Educators should be aware of these cultural factors and adapt their methods to create an inclusive learning environment that respects and leverages diversity. Here are some stra...
Nov 15, 2020 · Basically, there are two questions research on teaching methods ought to respond to: whether a particular way of teaching has an impact on students’ learning and performances, and what and how others can learn from completed studies.

Jun 28, 2016 · The teaching of research methods places very specific demands on teachers and learners. The capacity to undertake and engage with research ‘requires a combination of theoretical understanding, procedural knowledge and mastery of a range of practical skills’ (Kilburn et al., 2014, p. 191).
