Before any teacher develops instructions for their students they should identify the students learning characteristic for receiving information. It is very important for teachers to understand that if students aren’t paying attention the information being given will quickly be forgotten. Students use their short-term memory for information that they are paying attention to. Short-term memory is known as the working memory, because information here can be attended to and worked on consciously.
It is important for teachers to understand how students are receiving information, because it is how they can learn to send out the information to students. If a teacher can learn how to get students to learn for their short term memory then he/she can better understand how to help students transfer that information to their long term memory.
