Review of knowledge retention patterns in the literature (citations from Custers 2010; Semb and Ellis 1994, NCOSP, personal communication; full references in this legend can be found in the Custers (2010) and Semb and Ellis (1994)). The dashed line represents the time point at which our study examined teacher knowledge and belief retention. Knowledge Retention Rates (KRR) were calculated using the equation KRR = Delayed post-test score/post-test score *100. 1 Educational psychology (McDougall 1958), 2 Education (Zimmer 1985), 3 Physical science (D.
