Research Update #1: Drawing Improves Learning by Teaching
By Ruth Colvin Clark
LDA friend and Executive Advisory Board Member, Ruth Colvin Clark provides a twice-monthly research update. These updates are single-page infographic/ summaries you can open, read, download, and file for later review and reference.
This inaugural review Ruth shares how past research has shown that students that teach other students (peer to peer teaching) learn more than students that restudy the instructional material. To improve the quality of student explanations during teaching, this reviewed study compared students that created drawings while teaching to students who restudied the content.
