How to stop students cramming for exams? Send them to sea
Briefly

This study presented a method called the 'preplay' in which students were given exam questions in advance to assess their gaps in knowledge and encourage deeper learning.
By closing the gap between the current synthesis of knowledge and the requirement to repeat it within the context-free recall of high-stakes exams, the preplay can promote a deeper understanding of topics.
William Bateson's analysis in 1924 identified a shift towards experimental biology and emphasized the importance of understanding the laws of heredity and variation for biology's future.
The proposal suggests that this approach can provide a more constructive and holistic learning environment, benefiting students and promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
