Element 6: Chunking Content
When information is new to students, they best process it in small, understandable increments. This is because learners can hold only small amounts of information in their working memories (see Marzano, 1992, 2007). The strategies within this element appear in table 3.1 included below. Unlike strategies in most other elements, those listed for chunking are best employed sequentially. When the strategies in this element produce the desired effects, teachers will observe the following behaviors in students.
- Students actively engage in processing content between chunks.
- Students can explain why the teacher stops at specific points during a presentation of new content.
- Students appear to understand the content in each chunk.
