Literature Review

1939

Herbert F. Spitzer: provide valuable effectiveness of active recall

The Effectiveness of Active Recall in Vocabulary Learning

2011

Jeffery D.:learning just once and trying to remember to point out the main ideas is better than re-learning

2013

Dunlosky J. et al.:active recall (or testing) is a technique that has high utility and requires minimal training

2014

Joy Xu et al.:retrieval practice turns out to be under-utilised

Literature Review

1880-1885

Ebbinghaus: Conducting classic experiment on forgetting, became one of the most important early experiments in psychology. Ebbinghaus was also the first person to introduce the forgetting curve theory.

Spaced Repetition and the Forgetting Curve Theory

2011

Jeffery D.:Repeated learning (or stuyding in four consecutive periods) produces better outcomes (compared to learning just once).

2015

Jaap M. J. Murre & Joeri Dros:The results of this study are quite similar to Ebbinghaus' study and some prior researches (such as Heller, Mack & Seitz 1991) (despite some dissimilarities).

2020

Zaidi A., Caines A., Moore R., Buttery P., and Rice A.:More complex words are forgotten faster, hence being the important feature in modelling the forgetting curve.

Literature Review

2017

Abdul Rabu, Siti Nazleen & Talib, Zuliana:Digital game-based learning method have the potential to be a solution to the problem pertaining to low performance or vocabulary mastery.

Utilising Gamification Tools in Vocabulary Learning

2019

Orhan Göksün D. & Gürsoy G,:Gamification is an effective method for formative assessment and enhance student engagement.

2021

Rahmah Fithriani:confirmed the benefits of mobile-assisted gamification for their vocabulary learning in three aspects: learning outcomes, enjoyment, and motivation

Aynur Aksel:Quizlet, an effective web-based mobile learning medium, is motivating, enjoyable, useful for vocabulary learning.

Reseach Questions

When combining Quizlet with Google Sheets - a manual tool for scheduling spaced repetition study sessions, does it bring the same effectiveness as just studying with Quizlet and having to remember the study schedule?

Presentation

The Study

Settings and Participants

- Convenience sampling: 44 IELTS students (level B1-B2) - Divide into 2 groups: + Experimental group: 22 students (who will use the Google Sheets learning schedule) + Control group: 22 students (who will NOT use the Google Sheets learning schedule, and have to remember when to re-learn by themselves)

Presentation

The Study

Settings and Participants

STEPS: 1. Pre-Test: 50 questions (short-answer questions) 2. Assign a Quizlet set (50 vocab, level B2-C1). Duration for learning the Quizlet set: 11 days (three learning intervals) 3. Post-Test: 50 questions (short-answer and multiple choice questions)

The Study

Data Collection and Analysis

The analyses were done through JASP, a reliable tool to do statistics, with structural support from University of Amsterdam.

Presentation

Results

There are some differences between the two groups, but they are not noticeable.

In particular: PRE-TEST: mean value: - Control group: 28.32 - Experimental group: 26.05 POST-TEST: mean value - Control group: 43.55 - Experimental group: 43.59 Students using Google Sheets are more likely to remember more vocabulary.

Discussions and Suggestions

What can these results be applied into real-life practices?

Re-learning in intervals benefits students, whether they use tools to follow their learning schedule or not.

Flashcards and interval revision benefits vocabulary learning.

Technology-based tools should be applied into classrooms more.
