1) What storage process and factor is your instructor activating here?

2) What suggestions for promoting storage are applied in this map?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The storage processes and factors that instructor is activating is given below-

The map reveals about the storage processes and factors that affect long-term memory.

Storage processes-

• Selection: The content for which the information will be stored is selected by the instructor.
• Rehearsal: The instructor repeats the content.
• Meaningful learning: The instructor should help student to understand the concept.
• Internal organization: The student creates own concept by his internal organization of prior concepts.
• Elaboration: Instructor will elaborate the topic.
• Visual imagery: Through study and by showing visual aids, a visual image of the content will be developed in student brain.
• Procedural knowledge acquisition: Instructions can activate procedural knowledge acquisition through routine work.

Factors affecting storage-

• Working memory: Refers to the short-term memory.
• Prior knowledge: Helps in acquiring of new knowledge.
• Prior misconceptions: Creates obstruction in gaining of new knowledge.
• Expectations: Enhance interest.
• Verbalization: This helps in building memory as it is the process of reading a content in loud voice.
• Enactment: It is a non-verbal form of interaction.
• Repitition and Review: Both repitition and review help to understand the whole content and clear misconceptions.

2) Suggestions for promoting storage-

The suggestions for promoting storage that are applied in the map are given below-

Referred to the material-

• Use advance organizers: Helps in understanding the content through problem-solving approach.
• Signal important information: Helps in identifying the important information of the material.
• Map interconnection of ideas: This helps in building of new knowledge.
• Use visual aids: Creates interest and thinking.
• Use end-of- lesson summaries: This will help in understanding the material as whole and the identification of main key points easily.

Referred to learner-

• Activate prior knowledge: The learning will be easy if Instructor connects the new concept with previous concept.
• Encourage meaningful learning: This creates thinking.
• Allow students to elaborate: This will help in finding their misconceptions by the instructor.
• Use active instructional strategies: The instructor should develop the instructional objectives before teaching the lesson according to the cognitive levels of the learners.
• Allow time to process: Instructor should allow time to read the content by learners in order to build memory.
• Use periodic review and practice: By this process, the short-term memory will convert into long-term memory.
• Use distributed rather than massed practice: Massed practice create monotonous effect and fatigue whereas distributed practice enhance the interest and increase attention of students.
• Use feedback and promote self-feedback: Using feedback helps instructor to improve teaching-learning strategy and by promoting students for self-feedback will help to identify the problem by themselves and increase self-learning.
