Product reviews for Test-Enhanced Learning

This is an informative book for all teachers interested in how test-enhanced learning can benefit their teaching and improve students’ academic outcomes. Using contemporary research and theory throughout, Still investigates the purposes and potentials of test- enhanced learning and spaced retrieval practice.

The ideas discussed have been developed over many years in the classroom, therefore Still offers us a realistic view of what is possible and how test-enhanced learning can benefit the teacher as well as the student. Alongside his own experience and knowledge, Still has done extensive research into the subject, making this a rich and interesting read.

Readers of the book can find further support on the associated, free Remembermore app, which utilises digital flashcards to help teachers deliver personalised spaced retrieval practice. The book is full of case studies which explain how to practically implement Still’s techniques, how to get the most from the app, and how to motivate students.

Supporting both primary and secondary teachers across the curriculum, this is a well- researched, comprehensive book that will be invaluable to teachers looking to deepen their pedagogical knowledge and improve their teaching.
