Information-Processing Model

Learning process is divided into 3 stages. 1) Receiving information: ensuring that when a student receives information they are processing the information from short term memory into long term memory. To help get this information to long term, teacher can promote 2)Connecting the information to prior knowledge by organizing the information, repetition, and grouping the information together and 3)Using the information, teach them ways to more effectively and reliably retrieve the information after she has taught it to them in class.  My son Dean had a problem with transferring information from short term to long term memory. When he was in primary school and had to learn spelling words, one week he would know all of his spelling words and make a score of 100 on the test. Next week could spell about ¾ of the list correctly.
