THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LEARNING OBJECT MODEL INTEGRATING ATTENTION AND MNEMONIC PRINCIPLES TO PROMOTE LEARNING RETENTION FOR STUDENTS IN MEDICAL RELATED FIELD, NURSING, AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to develop a model of learning object integrating attention and mnemonic principles to promote learning retention on the learning of human anatomy and physiology. The research methods were (1) studied documents, theories, and related research study, (2) analyzed all the documents and synthesized to make a conceptual model of learning object integrating attention and mnemonic principles, (3) reviewed and revised the model, (4) validated the model by the experts, and (5) revised the model followed the comments of the experts. The sample group for validation model of learning object consisted of 12 experts. The research results revealed that: 1. The development of a learning object model integrating attention and mnemonic principles consisted of 4 components (1) The 4 essential elements of learning object: learning objective, content, drill and practice, and evaluation (2) The 7 steps of the procedure to promote learning retention: information received from stimulus, remember, encode, review, restore, review, and retrieve (3) The 4 principles of attention: principle and design, multimedia and, (4) The 4 systems of mnemonic: link, shape, rhyme, and roman room/memory palace. 2. The learning object model in which integrating attention and mnemonic principles was approved by the experts. The result indicated that the model is very good, for all students. 3. The result indicated that students who learned with the learning object model in which integrating attention and mnemonic principles had higher average scores on posttest than pretest at the level of significance .05 4. The result indicated that students who learned with the learning object model in which integrating attention and mnemonic principles had higher average scores on posttest than 1-week posttest (retention knowledge) at the level of significance .05
