So now we’re onto Step 2: Presentation.

Step 2 is the presentation of the new learning. This might be you teaching, or the students reading a textbook or watching a video, or the students watching a demonstration.

The retention at this stage is about 5%, and it varies: some students learn a lot, whereas others learn nothing.

In this section you can find out about effective ways to improve Presentation. These include:

• Linking to prior knowledge.
• Recognising the limits of Working Memory.
• Using an Advance Organiser to create the big picture.
• Using graphical and multi-sensory methods.
• Linking abstract ideas to concrete examples
