Description

Bjork and Bjork's Desirable Difficulties in Action is a comprehensive guide to evidence-informed strategies for long-term learning. The concept of desirable difficulties, identified by Elizabeth and Robert Bjork, is central to many effective teaching methods, yet often counter-intuitive. This book explains four key strategies - varying practice conditions, spacing, interleaving, and practice testing - in detail, including research evidence and practical classroom applications. Isaac Moore and Jade Pearce provide a thorough understanding of how these strategies can be implemented to support student learning, including how to encourage students to use them in their independent study. The authors also offer practical advice for teachers and school leaders on how to promote the effective use of desirable difficulties in the classroom. With succinct summaries and case studies from a range of practitioners, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their teaching practice and support student learning.
