Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
This study explored the effectiveness of the Feynman technique in improving vocabulary retention among Grade 10 students. The research involved a structured intervention using the Feynman technique, a cognitive approach aimed at fostering a deeper understanding and long-term retention of vocabulary through simplified explanations and active participation. A total of 20 Grade 10 students participated in a seven-week program, during which they applied the Feynman technique to learn and retain new vocabulary introduced during English lessons. To evaluate the impact, pre- and post-intervention assessments, including vocabulary quizzes and retention tests, were conducted to measure vocabulary acquisition and retention. Additionally, a survey was administered to gather students feedback on the technique and its perceived effectiveness. The findings showed a notable improvement in vocabulary retention, with students demonstrating greater understanding and more accurate recall of vocabulary items after employing the technique. The survey results also indicated that students found the approach engaging and effective, reporting a positive attitude toward its use in vocabulary learning. Based on these results, the researchers recommend the Feynman technique be integrated into vocabulary teaching strategies to enhance retention and comprehension among Grade 10 learners.
