Topic: Myers Briggs and Spaced Practice

Objectives & Outcomes

• Understand the basics of the Myers Briggs personality test and how it can be used to reaffirm your identity.
• Explore the benefits of spaced practice and how it can be used to improve long-term retention in memory.

Materials

• Myers Briggs personality test (can be taken online for free)
• Schedule for practice sessions
• Note-taking materials (e.g. paper, pens, laptop)

Warm-up

• To start the lesson, have students spend a few minutes thinking about their strengths and weaknesses. Encourage them to write down their thoughts on a piece of paper. Then, have each student share their list with the class, discussing what they have written and how it relates to them as a person.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the Myers Briggs personality test, explaining that it is a tool for understanding personality types and how they relate to learning and working styles. Show students the questionnaire and go over each question, giving examples of how each answer might relate to different personality types.
• Discuss the benefits of spaced practice, including improved retention and performance. Show students their study schedule and discuss how it incorporates regular review sessions to help them retain information.
• Have students complete the Myers Briggs questionnaire and create their study schedule, taking into account their personality type and any other factors that might affect their learning (e.g. time of day, distractions, etc.).

Guided Practice

• Have students work in pairs to complete a spaced practice session using their study materials. Have them take turns reviewing each section of the material and asking questions if needed.
• As a class, go over the answers to the Myers Briggs questionnaire and discuss how each student's personality type might affect their learning style and study habits.

Independent Practice

• Students work individually or in small groups to create a study schedule using the principles of spaced practice. They should include a mix of review sessions, practice tests, and independent study as well as a schedule for when to complete each activity.
• Encourage students to be flexible and adapt their schedule as needed.

Closure

• Bring the class back together to discuss the effectiveness of the study schedule and any challenges students faced.
• Ask students to reflect on what they learned about Myers Briggs and spaced practice and how they can apply these strategies to their future studies.

Assessment

• Observe students during the independent practice to see if they are using the Myers Briggs correctly and completing the spaced practice correctly.
• Collect and review the study schedule to assess if students are following the schedule and completing the spaced practice.
• Have students complete a brief quiz or written assignment to assess their understanding of the Myers Briggs personality test and the benefits of spaced practice.
