https://sandsedsmyers.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/my-thoughts-on-this-module
It's called READING. It's how people install new software into their brains. April 22, 2013. My Thoughts on this Module.

When the Pencil Meets the Neuron. Can students still learn if they are examined in open book style exams? Let’s just pack our bags and head to Hogwarts. →. March 18, 2013 · 10:33 pm.

The Testing Effect and Education | Science of Education
https://bethseducationblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/the-testing-effect-and-education
The Testing Effect and Education. Since this is the first blog I thought it best to talk about something quite general: the testing effect. Most people have heard about it somewhere along the road and some will come across it during third year dissertations if doing some form of written test. It establishes that the way we are assessed affects our learning, so should we be considering changing the way we are taught and assessed. Do we go to schools to gain knowledge or for training into how to pass exams?

February 18, 2013. BLOG 3: CSR and “WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEACHER? 8221; (Video Talk). Research in the state of Indiana found that students in smaller class sizes scored higher on standardised tests than those in larger classes ( Bain and Achilles, 1986. It has also been noted that smaller class sizes reduce behavioural issues and the teachers themselves reported more efficiency and productivity within the classroom. But how effective can these smaller class sizes really be? Regular 22-25 (with paid aide).
