“…In another recent study including Brazilian undergraduates (Cavendish et al, 2022), participants either retrieved items from a word list twice (two study-test cycles) or restudied the word list four times (four study cycles). After 2 days, participants who practiced retrieval recalled more words than those from the restudy condition, and as shown by mediation analyses, the increase in the number of recalled words in the retrieval practice group was due to the greater organization of information during recall.…”

Brazil has the 12th highest gross domestic product in the world but ranks 57th regarding education achievement. From this perspective, we discuss how the learning strategy named retrieval practice can benefit education in Brazil. A large body of research has shown that when individuals practice retrieval of previously studied information, they increase their chances of remembering that information in the future. This phenomenon has been advocated as a promising strategy to promote learning in classroom contexts. To verify whether this pattern is reproduced by Brazilian students, we briefly review the literature on retrieval practice conducted in Brazil. We then discuss possible obstacles to the implementation of retrieval practice in Brazilian classrooms, as well as strategies to overcome these obstacles. Although we focus on the Brazilian reality, the current discussion might also be pertinent for the implementation of retrieval practice in educational contexts in other developing countries.
