A Study of an Effective Rehearsal Method in e-Learning

Abstract

When information is memorized, the brain rehearses it. We can preserve information over a long period of time if this rehearsal is effectively performed in studying. This research aims 1.To clarify the effect of the rehearsal in e-learning, 2. To clarify the effective method for summary-making using a prototype system that studies structure of a stock (equity in a company). For this purpose, we 1.Compare the difference among three rehearsal methods, 2. (From result of 1) compare the results of an experiment of "Summarize" rehearsal method. As a result we find that the "Summarize" rehearsal is effective, especially when used for memorization constraints imposed in the number and types words used

Peer Assessment: Channels of Operation

“…Some students will be reluctant to offer half-formed thoughts, and the partner will encourage them to say something, because everything can be revised and improved later once you have something to start with. Similarly, the idea of rehearsing an idea should be shared (not just repeating it but adapting it at each stage), so that with continuous improvement it will eventually be worth sharing with other pairs or the whole group [36].…”

A Theoretical Model of Intergenerational Tutoring

“…Some children will be reluctant to offer half-formed thoughts, and the partner will encourage them to say something, because everything can be revised and improved later once you have something to start with. Similarly, the idea of rehearsing an idea should be shared (not just repeating it but adapting it at each stage) so that with continuous improvement it will eventually be worth sharing with other pairs or the whole group (Horinouchi, Wakita, Anse, & Tabe, 2007). As an idea develops pairs can speculate freely or hypothesize, allowing their imagination to run riot, then later bring their ideas back and rationalize or summarize them for wider consumption.…”
