Show Notes:
In this bite-size research episode, Megan discusses research on delayed vs. immediate feedback in the classroom. Like with many effective learning strategies, what students think is helping them learn is not what actually helps them learn. In two experiments presented by Mullet and colleagues (2014), University engineering students received relatively immediate feedback or delayed feedback on homework assignments. Students reported that they liked immediate feedback better and that it helped them learn more. In reality, the delayed feedback led to better performance on their course exams.

Show Notes:
In Episode 57, Cindy interviews Kathryn Desmarais, a Senior Director of Global Education Solutions at Johnson & Johnson. (You can check out her LinkedIn profile here.) In Kathryn’s line of work, she is less concerned with what an individual can look up or figure out. Her reps need to be confident and know a great deal on the spot in high-pressure situations. So, she has been implementing strategies from the science of learning into her training!
