Mnemonic Technique in Vocabulary Mastery
Definition and Purpose
Mnemonic techniques are memory-enhancing strategies designed to help learners remember information more effectively and efficiently, particularly when learning new vocabulary135. These techniques work by associating unfamiliar words with familiar concepts, images, or patterns, making the new information easier to recall.
Types of Mnemonic Techniques
Several mnemonic techniques are commonly used to improve vocabulary mastery, including:
-
Rhyme-Keys
-
Acronyms
-
Peg Word System
-
Loci Method
-
Keyword Method
Among these, the keyword method is widely recognized as particularly effective for vocabulary learning12.

Difference Between Validity and Reliability in Quantitative Research
Difference Between Validity and Reliability in Quantitative Research
Validity and reliability are two foundational concepts in quantitative research, each addressing different aspects of data quality:
Validity refers to the extent to which a research instrument or method accurately measures what it is intended to measure. In other words, a valid study truly reflects the concept or variable it aims to assess. For example, if a survey is designed to measure job satisfaction, validity ensures that the questions actually capture the essence of job satisfaction, not something else7.
Reliability refers to the consistency or repeatability of measurements. A reliable instrument yields the same results under consistent conditions. If a test is administered to the same group multiple times and produces similar results each time, it is considered reliable67.
