Abstract
This study has been undertaken to investigate the memory strategies used by the students. Moreover, this study aims to analyze the relationship in memory strategies used by the students and their grades. A primary data is undertaken in this research that is gathered with the help of a survey questionnaire. The survey questionnaire is filled with a total of 175 adolescent students. The data collected through the survey questionnaire is analyzed with the help of statistical analysis technique with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Regression analysis is used to analyze the impact of memory strategies on the student’s feeling of success. It is analyzed from the results of regression analysis that F (1.173) = 12.779, p = .001, R2= .069. The value of R2= .069, which means that memory strategies explain 6% variation in the English score of the students. It is identified in reference to the research aim that the use of memory strategy and students’grades are significantly correlated with each other. Further, it is also examined from the study findings that the majority of the students use memory strategies in the form of narratives, self-test, rehearsals, rhymes, and mental practice. The study outcomes also depicted that the majority of the students use self-test and practice as effective strategies for remembering and learning. The study findings would help the students to analyze the significance of memory strategy for increasing their scores. Future research should be focused on conducting their study at a wider level in order to analyze the impact of memory strategies for the student’s primary schools and high schools.
Highlights
BackgroundAccording to Abdel-Khalek (1989), the memory is the most important mental processes in human life and a number of other processes such as learning, thinking, and problem-solving in general
When considering the level of difficulty of the memory strategy, the results indicated that 118 participants (67.4%) believed that some memory strategies are easier than others and 57 of participants (33%) believed that there is no difference in challenge between these strategies
Results of Regression Analysis: Students Score in English and Feeling Success when using Memory Strategy Simple regression was used to predict a student’s feeling of success when using these memory strategies from student’s scores in all subjects including Quran, English, Arabic, and Science
Summary
According to Abdel-Khalek (1989), the memory is the most important mental processes in human life and a number of other processes such as learning, thinking, and problem-solving in general. Importance of memory in the learning process is been observed, and the specialists in educational psychology have tried to explain the process of learning through learning theories like gestalt theory and memory trace theory. Memory trace theory presents a theoretical model to process to which memories are stored in brain (Hamlyn, 2017; Goldmeier, 2014). Frank, Land, Popp, and Schack (2014) have argued that mental practice enhances the cognitive processing of information within the brain. Mental practice exercise help students to create an image in their mind concerning the academic information provided by the teachers
