Why Membean in Your School?
Knowing the meanings of words, and being able to use them, is an essential skill for both reading comprehension and effective writing. Researchers have long known that teaching individual words is essential, but it's even more important to build a student's word consciousness. Membean helps:
-
Focus limited resources
Creating an effective vocabulary learning system is arduous and challenging, something which most teachers do not have time to do in the most effective and efficient way. -
Reinforce learning
Our Memory Engine schedules learning and repetitions to ensure that what students learn is not forgotten. -
Capture attention
Membean provides more than seven different ways of learning a word. With engaging content such as audio, video, and word pictures, Membean's game-like format succeeds in overcoming short attention spans. -
Differentiate instruction
Our tool customizes a learning program for each and every student based on her existing skill level and speed of progress.
Membean applies psycholinguistics and economics to vocabulary learning.
Encode so you don’t forget. What does it mean to really know a word? How must a word be incorporated into pre-existing mental schemata? Recognizing that people learn differently and that there are various levels of knowledge of words, Membean provides multiple learning pathways.
Maximize gain. Borrowing from economic theory, Membean maximizes allocative efficiency for each learner — time spent learning (costs) must be allocated in a way that maximizes word retention (gains). Membean tailors learning schedules to each person — it’s both effective and efficient.
