In this episode, we will talk about how prior knowledge influences a student's learning. This episode has two parts. First, we will talk about the principles, and then we can climb into the strategies you can use in your classroom. I will purposely use teacher terminology because I suspect as higher education educators, we hide behind the lecture label and free ourselves from the responsibility of teaching and student learning. Let's remember how to be teachers, not just subject matter experts.

In this episode, we refer to the "How Learning Works" book; you can find it here on Amazon or wherever you buy your books. 

Please try a few strategies discussed on this podcast in your classroom and share your experiences or feedback with us; you can email us at gail.barry@up.ac.za
