Summary

For knowledge to become transferable, it needs to be stored in long-term memory in such a way that learners can successfully retrieve it. However, ‘merely’ committing information to long-term memory does not equal deeper learning. Teaching that focuses mostly on facts and does not provide learners with ample opportunities to use and apply their knowledge will lead to so-called inert knowledge, which cannot be accessed to solve problems. To really understand content, our learners need to establish connections between new information and prior knowledge, relate new information to larger contexts and understand its relevance inside and outside the classroom.
