I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature.
By the way, you might also be interested in MY BEST POSTS ON NEW RESEARCH STUDIES IN 2021 – PART TWO.
You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here.

The study in this next tweet seems pretty interesting, though appears to be written in more “academese” than even the typical dense academic paper. I was struck by this line:
Students do need extensive practice, about seven opportunities per component of knowledge.
I do wonder if this might be able to be applied to often disputed number of times a student has to be exposed to a new word before it’s learned?
Across 27 datasets (elementary to college) and 1.3 million students , there appears to be “An astonishing regularity in student learning rate” with each learning opportunity increasing accuracy by 2.5%:https://t.co/9w2hQ19tLr
