- Students’ prior knowledge can help or hinder learning. Students come into our courses with knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes gained in other courses and through daily life.
- How students organize knowledge influences how they learn and apply what they know. Students naturally make connections between pieces of knowledge.

Students come into our courses with knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes gained in other courses and through daily life. As students bring this knowledge to bear in our classrooms, it influences how they filter and interpret what they are learning.

Students naturally make connections between pieces of knowledge. When those connections form knowledge structures that are accurately and meaningfully organized, students are better able to retrieve and apply their knowl-edge efectively and eficiently. In contrast, when knowledge is connected in inaccurate or random ways, students can fail to retri...

Finally, students must learn when and how to apply the skills and knowledge they learn. As instructors, it is impor-tan...
targeted feedback enhances the quality of students’ learning. Learning and performance are best fostered when students engage in practice that focuses on a specific goal or criterion, targets an appropriate level of challenge, and is of suficient quantity and frequency to meet the performance criteria. Practice must be coupled with feedback that ex...
