How do primary school teachers define and implement ‘interactive teaching’ in the National Literacy Strategy in England
This paper reports the methods and findings of the S tudy of Pr imary In teractive Teaching (SPRINT) project carried out in English primary schools, which set out to determine teachers' understanding and use of 'interactive teaching' as a characteristic of 'successful teaching' in the National Literacy Strategy (NLS). Thirty teachers of children aged five to 11 years became either 'focus' teachers or 'comparison' teachers and were videoed twice o…

Image Bizarreness in Incidental Learning
Previous experiments have suggested that, contrary to traditional recommendations, bizarre images are no better than commonplace images as aids to recall. This study, however, indicates that, when other variables are controlled, bizarreness has a strong effect on both immediate and delayed unexpected recall of sentences, whether bizarreness is judged by the experimenter or by each individual subject. Results are discussed in terms of motivation a…
The Keyword Method and Children's Vocabulary Learning in the Classroom
In an attempt to relate recent experimental findings of the effectiveness of the keyword technique in vocabulary learning more closely to actual classroom practice, an exploratory questionnaire suggested that many teachers probably do set vocabulary learning in spite of the objections to it from the currently popular audio-visual courses. A pilot experiment showed that the keyword technique, adapted for a group setting, improved both the immediat…
Imagery bizarreness in children's recall of sentences
Bizarre mental images have been advocated as ‘artificial’ memory aids for students since the time of the ancient Greek teachers of rhetoric, yet the few recent experiments in this area, mostly on adults, have generally found bizarreness to be unimportant. In this experiment, 108 12‐year‐olds recalled words from sentences they had rated as producing bizarre images significantly better than they recalled the same words from sentences rated as produ…
