Contents – structure

At the beginning of class, the structure of the class/classes need to be presented in an agenda. The intended learning outcomes should also be stated (formulated on the basis of the SOLO taxonomy): The brain – and its owner – generally learns best when it knows what the goal is and can predict the direction that must be taken.

During class, the lecturer should refer to the agenda and the intended learning outcomes as much as possible so that the students know where they are right now, and what has been completed: This is important in order to support their working memory (in practice, their thinking process at any given point of time) and to support them in storing the information processed as new knowledge in their long-term memory.
