Swedish term

mängdträning

Swedish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
"att befästa elevernas kunskaper genom mängdträning"

This is from a report on the effect on student learning of remote teaching during Covid.

I have strong feeling that there is a specific term in English but dictionary search has failed so far.

Overlearning “yeah, that is of course "xxx".”

Very familiar with the term from pedagogy/foreign language teaching (repetitive drills).
Agneta Pallinder (asker) Nov 29, 2021:
@Dave and all I think it is basically repetitive training, used in sport but here seemingly about other subjects as well. I think i have seen it used about maths, where students do masses of nearly identical calculations to confirm their knowledge of how to do it.
But I was hoping that someone on ProZ would say - yeah, that is of course "xxx".
Christopher Schröder Nov 29, 2021:
Is it not just repetition?
SafeTex Nov 29, 2021:
@ Agneta and all Hello Agneta

You don't actually say what it means in Swedish although I suspect you have a good idea. Can you tell us what it means to you as a native Swede?
Thanks

Note from asker:
This is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks Michele!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Veronica Kiefer-Jarneberg : Overlearning has a negitive connotation to it. I still feel 'repition' is more neutral.

It’s a standard term in the psychology of learning. No negative connotation.

quantity training/learning

Quantity rather than quality, particularly now when children are home-schooled due to the corona lock-downs.
Also used in sports to emphasise the volume of training.
Example sentence:

Quantity – Have your children read a wide variety of good books from children books, chapter books, fiction, historical fiction, cultural, biographies etc. Let them choose what they want to read, but read everyday.

slower/longer training sessions (Quantity) versus shorter/faster training sessions (Quality)
