Lasting Learning in Physics – LLIPs

Lasting Learning in Physics by Constructive Retrieval

This project investigates how students can develop physics knowledge that remains usable beyond the immediate lesson. We study how retrieval practice can be combined with constructive learning activities, such as self-explanations and example comparison, to support retention, transfer, and preparation for future learning. The project aims to identify instructional routines that help students understand physics concepts deeply and remember them over time.
