Scientific evidence for effective learning strategies is primarily derived from studies conducted in controlled laboratory or classroom settings with homogeneous populations. Large-scale online learning environments such as MOOCs provide an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of these learning strategies in an informal learning context with a diverse student population. Retrieval practice, a learning strategy focused on actively recalling information, is recognized as one of the most effective learning strategies in the literature. In this study, we evaluate the extent to which retrieval practice facilitates long-term knowledge retention among MOOC learners using an instructional intervention. We conducted a pre-registered randomized encouragement experiment to test how retrieval practice affects learning outcomes in a MOOC. We observed no effect on learning outcomes and high levels of treatment non-compliance. This suggests that even evidence-based strategies may not work "out of the box" in new learning contexts and require context-aware research on effective implementation approaches. We conducted a series of exploratory studies on the extent to which learners recall knowledge gained in MOOCs over the long term. To our surprise, passing and non-passing learners scored similarly on a knowledge post-test, and both retained approximately two-thirds of what they learned over the long term.

This writing aims to make students more active and disciplined in the learning process and can also increase creativity and learning outcomes. The low mathematics learning outcomes are not only due to difficult mathematics, but are caused by several factors which include students themselves, teachers, learning approaches, and learning environments that are interconnected with each other. To improve the ability and results of learning it is necessary to make modifications to the task learning strategy and force. Quantum learning is a tip, a guide, a strategy and an entire learning process that can sharpen understanding and memory, and make learning a pleasant and useful process. Task and Forced Learning Strategies are strategies that focus on giving assignments and a little coercion so that students complete their tasks on time so that the learning process can run effectively. Therefore, the writer modifies the model of quantum learning with task and forced learning strategies, the results of this modification show that learning with quantum learning models with forced and task strategies can improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined in doing tasks, can motivate student learning, and can improve student learning outcomes.

Memory obviously plays an important role in knowledge retention. In particular, when learning mathematics students claim that much of what is taught in classrooms is soon forgotten and learning mathematics is difficult or not interesting. Neuroscience, through its study on long term memory, has tried to identify why these phenomena occur. Then some possible solutions are suggested. Understanding the processes of memory storage including acquisition, consolidation, recoding, storing and retrieval helps teachers to efficiently plan for effective learning activities. Therefore, this paper outlines the potential implication of long term memory to mathematics learning as well as suggests some learning strategies that might solve students‟ and teachers‟ problem in learning mathematics.
