Comparison of Rewatching Class Recordings versus Retrieval Practice as Post-Lecture Learning Strategies

This was a study conducted that compared different study strategies, in order to learn more about the effectiveness of recorded lectures. The students who participated in the study either watched recordings of lectures they had already attended, or retrieved their own information to study before being given an examination on the content. The students were evaluated twice, the second being at a later time to test long term retention. The results found that recorded lectures produced better scores when the examination immediately followed the lecture, but failed to induce long term retention in students. Additionally, rewatching lectures took an average of three times longer to complete than retrieval practice. The researchers concluded that long-term retention did not differ between the two groups, and since retrieval practice takes less time it is a more efficient way to study material.
