Pretrieval Practice: Asking Questions Before the Lesson

Have you tried using prequestions (explicitly) in your classroom?

This research explores why prequestions can significantly enhance student learning and engagement before the lesson even begins - a simple yet effective pedagogical strategy!

Prequestions involve asking students questions about upcoming learning material before they engage with it (Carpenter, 2023).

This approach, grounded in cognitive neuroscience, prepares the mind for incoming information, making learning more efficient.
