Validity: their were strict controls during the classroom assessment by prior to the assessment, three students *requested to use headphones whilst revising and researching in class. The evaluations from Grant et al research and the work in my classroom shows:

  • Student B ( right): Pupil premium reading age 12.01 EAL student stage M higher ability student.
  • Student A (left): Pupil premium Stretch (gifted and talented) reading age 13.11 EAL stage D higher ability student.
  • Take a look at this sample which compares two students in a year 10 (aged 14) graphics (design technology) class. One month later, I have now marked their first assessment papers.
  • What happened in the following week was a fascinating coincidence and has triggered this blog post during a revision lesson in my class, a student asked to revise with their headphones on.
  • I found the paper fascinating and decided to go away and read it.
  • In one of my coaching observations, a psychology teacher was discussing this research paper with their year 13 students (18 years old).
  • With Grant’s research in mind, I decided to conduct my study after two small-scale events took place in my day-to-day teaching last month.

    Therefore I use it with caution in my classroom. Research and psychology fascinate me, but I am no expert. Therefore reading time was used as a co-variable in the analysis of test performance. Statistical analysis of the results suggest there a significant effect of studying and testing in the same conditions. Results suggest participants in all groups spent roughly equal amounts of time studying the material.

    Well, according to a study by Grant et al., (1998) that focused on context-dependent memory (a case study in AS OCR Psychology exam), students would be better off being tested in the same conditions. There is an assumption from the individuals that a) the belief they can concentrate better, b) that their classroom behaviour will be better c) that students will complete the work to a good standard and d) most of all, they is learning. no digital devices to be used in class) and c) assumed the student is digesting the information to help with their classwork/revision. I know in the past as a younger teacher, I have a) agreed b) undermined school policy (i.e.

    Why? well, the fact that there is evidence for context-dependency which suggests students are better off studying without background noise as it will not be present during actual testing.Ĭontext-dependent memory is not a specific type of memory per se, but instead it refers to the improved memory performance when individuals are tested in the same context in which they learned the tested material.įor example, imagine a teacher is giving permission for all students in a lesson to work with headphones on the students insist that by listening to music whilst they complete secondary research for a history project, that they will behave and concentrate better. Students will perform better in examinations and classroom assessments if they study for them with a minimum of background noise. This is a small-scale research project I have conducted in my classroom. Read more about students perform better when tested in the same environmental conditions? In 2015, he was nominated as one of the '500 Most Influential People in Britain' by The Sunday. 2010, Ross Morrison McGill founded from a simple Twitter account through which he rapidly became the 'most followed teacher on social media in the UK'.
