Abstract: Chapter 18, titled "Interleaved Practice in Classrooms," provides a comprehensive guide on the implementation of interleaved practice within educational contexts. It delves into not only the practical applications but also the theoretical underpinnings, advantages, limitations, and illustrative examples across various subjects to contextualise the utilisation of interleaved practice. The chapter posits interleaved practice as an effective learning strategy that entails the integration of diverse topics or problem types within a singular study session, thereby enhancing retention and mastery. Furthermore, it underscores emerging trends that may influence the future of interleaved practice in 21st-century classrooms, including the utilisation of digital technology for the seamless integration of topics, gamification to increase student engagement, and personalised approaches to address individual learning needs. As educational practices evolve, interleaved practice emerges as a potent tool for optimising learning outcomes in contemporary educational settings.
