Introduction[edit | edit source]
Memorisation is a process that involves cognition and it occurs in the human brain. To complete the process of memorisation, the information that needs to be memorised must be repeated periodically.[1] To capture student's interest, a massive amount of information and engaging materials are now available for the studies. [2] Yet students often complain about challenges of studying when they have to memorise, learn and master all of the information presented in the class. It is never ending and arbitrary stream of facts and students have to decide which ones to retain in memory. [3] The teachers' assumption is that students know how to learn. In reality students practice ineffective learning and study technique.[2] They trust a specific study condition, which often does not offer an expected outcome.[2]
The use of internet technology and social media has changed how people receive, retain, and share information.[4] Searching for information in the internet may lead to offloading memory and forgetting. On the other hand, retrieving information from memory, even when unsuccessful, can help to strengthen memory and enhance learning of new information. [4]
This article offers a toolkit that can be utilised when students attempt to accomplish a task of remembering. It may help to prevent students' drowning in the material they need to learn and memorise.
