The Effect Of The Directed Cues On The Delayed Retrieval Of Text Among University Students

Abstract

The research aimed to know the effect of directed on delayed retrieval among university students. The researcher used three methods of directed hinting: the organization method, the colored signals method, and the mental imagination method. Thus, he put forward four hypotheses to verify this goal. He designed an experimental design that included three experimental groups corresponding to three control groups. The test in them was after training the experimental groups on hints. The researcher also carried out experimental control procedures for the six groups, then trained the members of the experimental groups on how to use hints when reading scientific text, and left the members of the control groups without training. After that, he designed a test that included the most important information in the text. After a day of training the experimental groups, the training for each experimental group was a type of method. He trained the members of the first experimental group on the organization method, trained the members of the second experimental group on the colored signals method, and trained the members of the third experimental group on the mental imagery method. The researcher then conducted one post-test for each experimental and control group.The results of the comparisons between the three experimental groups with the three control groups indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups, which means that there is an effect of the hints used in delayed retrieval. After that, a comparison was made between the three experimental groups to find out if there is a preference for one of the hints over the other. The results indicated that there is no statistically significant difference between the experimental groups, which means that the three hints affected the members of the experimental groups that were trained on them at the same level.
