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.

Hypothesis of the Research


In this research, the statistical hypotheses will be developed. The hypotheses will compare the performance of the experimental and control classes. The main objective is to determine whether the intervention significantly enhances writing skills.

1. Null Hypothesis (𝑯𝟎):

The null hypothesis states that there is no significant statistical difference in the writing skills for designing posters between the control and experimental classes after the intervention.
𝐻0: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2
Where 𝜇1 represents the mean of the writing score in the experimental class, and 𝜇2 represents the mean of the writing score in the control class. This hypothesis, therefore, reflects that using short animated videos does not significantly affect the students' writing skills when designing posters.

2. Alternative Hypothesis (𝐇𝟏):
Therefore, the alternative hypothesis would be that the statistical significance in the difference in the writing skills in designing posters between the control and experimental classes is significant after intervention.
𝐻1: 𝜇1 ≠ 𝜇2
This hypothesis makes it clear that with short animated videos, there is an effective improvement in students' abilities in designing posters; hence, there would be differences between the experimental and control classes.
These hypotheses will then be verified through statistical analyses, either the Independent Samples t-Test if the data is normally distributed, or the Mann-Whitney U Test in cases of no normality. The significance level will be set at 𝛼 = 0.05, which, which means that if the obtained p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
