Psychology (73)The objective of the research and development project, Structured Retrieval Practice to Enhance Conceptual Learning, is to develop a computer-based Structured RetrievalPractice program that guides students to practice retrieval while studying and enhances long-term retention of foundational conceptual knowledge. The research addresses fundamental questions about human learning and retrieval processes by testing the hypothesis that elaborative retrieval cues increase the effectiveness of retrieval practice. The first aim is to develop and enhance several aspects of the learning program in controlled experiments. The working hypothesis is that guiding students to practice active reconstruction of their knowledge will produce potent and robust learning and long-term retention. The goal is to identify the best ways to structure and scaffold students' retrieval practice to help them develop enriched mental models about science concepts. The second aim of this project is to establish the efficacy and effectiveness of Structured Retrieval Practice in two large undergraduate introductory psychology courses. The project addresses two gaps in cognitive science. First, the project is designed to contribute to the current research on retrieval and memory. Secondly, the project is designed to translate findings from the basic research conducted in a laboratory setting into application in the real world setting of the classroom. The set of studies is designed to inform the undergraduate STEM education community on how students learn and to apply the findings to the development of instructional strategies designed to enhance students' learning of foundational conceptual knowledge in STEM disciplines.

心理学 (73)“增强概念学习的结构化检索实践”研发项目的目标是开发基于计算机的结构化检索实践程序，指导学生在学习时进行检索练习，并增强对基础概念知识的长期保留。该研究通过检验精细检索线索提高检索实践有效性的假设，解决了有关人类学习和检索过程的基本问题。 第一个目标是在受控实验中开发和增强学习计划的几个方面。工作假设是，引导学生主动重建知识将产生有效、稳健的学习和长期保留。目标是确定构建和支撑学生检索实践的最佳方法，以帮助他们发展关于科学概念的丰富心理模型。该项目的第二个目标是在两门大型本科心理学入门课程中建立结构化检索实践的功效和效果。该项目解决了认知科学中的两个空白。 首先，该项目旨在为当前的检索和记忆研究做出贡献。 其次，该项目旨在将实验室环境中进行的基础研究成果转化为课堂现实世界环境中的应用。 这组研究旨在让本科生 STEM 教育界了解学生如何学习，并将研究结果应用于制定教学策略，以增强学生对 STEM 学科基础概念知识的学习。
