Using Flashcards to Encourage Student Learning<\/em><\/strong> by Dr Basil Wolf and Dr Ruth Wonfor (Aberystwyth)<\/p>\n

Surveys of our students show that many of them rely heavily on rereading and exam cramming, methods that might be successful in getting them through exams, but which are suboptimal in developing long-term memory and ability to develop expertise in their subject area. There is considerable research to show that long-term memory is boosted by repeated retrieval practice that is spaced over time. Flashcards offer one method of achieving this. We will talk about our experiences and present use of Anki, a freeware flashcard programme, in teaching anatomy and physiology to first year students.<\/p>\n

Potential, (un)realised: Is self-regulation the differentiator between our students and what can we do about it?<\/em><\/strong> by Dr Simon Payne (Aberystwyth)<\/p>\n

We asked AU students and staff questions such as, \u201cWhy do students underachieve or even drop out?,\u201d \u201cWhat distractions do students face that interfere with their best intentions to study and improve?,\u201d and \u201cWhat happens to \u2018turn students off\u2019 from learning and striving to achieve?\u201d The answers were remarkably similar from both groups, suggesting agreement on the problem and potential alignment on solutions. Self-regulation is the voluntary control of impulses which can facilitate or hinder us from achieving our goals. Hence, self-regulation includes the ability to regulate cognitive processes and activities, e.g. to plan, monitor and reflect on problem solving activities. Self-regulation also includes the control of one\u2019s competing\/conflicting motivational and emotional impulses and processes, e.g., overcoming social anxiety to contribute in class. Clearly, the development of self-regulation skills will help students achieve their objectives for entering HE. This presentation will provide techniques for tutors to help their students and tutees to be better self-regulators, and introduce and rationalise an ambitious AU-wide programme of studies that target student self-regulation ability.<\/p>\n

Second speaker to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Sessions will be provided in English.<\/strong><\/p>\n
