Proactive and Retroactive Facilitation of Long-Term Retention by Curriculum Continuity.

Arzi, Hanna J.; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v22 n3 p369-88 Fall 1985

A longitudinal research study in Israel was designed to investigate effects of mutual interrelations between courses in sequential teaching on long-term retention of learning in a science curriculum. The results implied that a program composed of a hierarchical sequence of learning units is superior to a discontinuous array of discrete courses. (Author/BS)
