A randomized controlled trial of interleaved mathematics practice. (2019, unknown): “While many unproven and expensive educational products continue to garner media attention and tax dollars, numerous classroom-based randomized experiments have found benefits of straightforward interventions requiring neither technology nor proprietary materials (Roediger & Pyc, 2012).”
Beyond Phonics: The Case for Teaching Children the Logic of the English Spelling System (2017, background): “That is, these morphological interventions all failed to exploit explanatory questioning that is another robust way to improve learning (Roediger & Pyc, 2012).”
Rethinking the Use of Tests: A Meta-Analysis of Practice Testing (2017, background): “Furthermore, given the plethora of studies comparing retrieval practice to rereading, future research may robustly examine the benefits of retrieval practice compared with other effective, active learning techniques such as elaborative interrogation and self-explanation (see Roediger & Pyc, 2012).”
Not New, but Nearly Forgotten: the Testing Effect Decreases or even Disappears as the Complexity of Learning Materials Increases (2015, background): “…of those studies used Beducationally relevant materials,^ and the relevance of the testing effect for classroom learning is increasingly being stressed in the literature (e.g., Agarwal et al. 2012; Fiorella and Mayer 2015; Karpicke and Grimaldi 2012; Roediger et al. 2011b; Roediger and Pyc 2012a).”
