Teaching Methods and Retention

This explores how different teaching methods affect retention rates.

The Learning Pyramid

Method		Retention
Lecture		5%
Reading		10%
Audio Visual		20%
Demonstration		30%
Discussion Group		50%
Practice by Doing		75%
Teach Others		80%

The source of the learning pyramid is Motorola University: Creating Mindware for the 21st Century, Corporate University Xchange May/June 1996, Vol 2 No 3.

All simulations allow participants to learn through practice by doing but our team learning model extends this to include discussion and allowing team members to teach others.
