CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Massed vs. Distributed Practice: Which Is Better? Massed practice and distributed practice both have advantages for learning and studying in specific settings, although researchers have noted that distributed learning may be more beneficial overall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mass Practice Is Great For Basic Skills While distributed practice increases information retention, mass practice is still a useful technique to have in your arsenal. Mass practice occurs when you continuously repeat an action or review information without taking the time for a break.

Detailed explanation-3: -Massed practice: Practice that occurs without breaks between trials (practice attempts). Distributed practice has breaks for rest, feedback and mental rehearsal. Distributed practice has been shown to be the best practice structure for learning new skills because it allows for feedback on performance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Distributed practice involves students practising something over several sessions spaced out over time. This is quite different to massed practice, where the practice occurs in one intensive block.

Detailed explanation-5: -MASSED PRACTICE-not time for feedback, fatigue, too demanding. DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE-time consuming, negative transfer. VARIED PRACTICE-time consuming, possibility of a negative transfer, fatigue, too demanding.
