Factors Affecting Information Retention in Kasaysayan NG Daigdig
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
The learners can acquire knowledge and reinforce their learning, which enhances
their cognitive skills. Retaining learning from the lectures in Kasaysayan ng Daigdig is
important to the students because it enhances their critical thinking and analytical skills,
which prepare them to be responsible citizens. This information retention becomes the
holistic. The concept of information retention in a broad perspective is the ability of the
learners to make their knowledge stick for a long time on what they learn in school, to be

Cumighud (2020) explained that memory retention plays a paramount role in the
academic lives of the students. However, students who have a problem with retention
may have difficulty remembering class lectures. Memory is a mental process that is used
to acquire, store, or retrieve information. Its processes are acts of using information in
specific ways to make the information available later or to bring that information back
into the current stream of processing. Meanwhile, the problem focuses on information

The researchers conducted the study on junior high school Grade 8 students at
Luis Palad Integrated High School, Tayabas, to determine the information retention of the
learners in Kasaysayan ng Daigdig. In the current times, based on the observable and
non-observable checklist pre-survey from all Grade 8 teachers from Luis Palad about the
observation inside the classroom of the students behavior toward learning and
information retention, there are some students in their classroom that are having difficulty
with information retention. Students in their classroom experience difficulty retaining and
constructing learned ideas. Those unengaged students fail to retain information and

broken down into portions that must be mastered one at a time in succession (APA
Dictionary). According to Cardino & Ortega-Dela Cruz (2020) the inductive technique is
a much more student-centered approach that employs a tactic known as "noticing." Here,

their material repeatedly over an extended period of time. As a result, knowledge can be

According to Lane (2022), cramming the night before an exam can help students

(Intelligent.com, 2023).
The "underlying habit strength" that allows learners to use that knowledge when
they need it is developed by spaced practice. In the beginning, it could seem less effective
than cramming because they have forgotten some of the content and don't feel like they
understand it, but the extra effort is exactly what makes the method work. Spaced

distributed practice, holds that practicing a specific skill or recalling a specific piece of
knowledge is more successful when done gradually across time rather than repeatedly
over a short amount of time. The reason spacing works is because memories deteriorate
and become harder to retrieve over time. When we try to re-learn anything after some
time has passed, we are actually reconstructing the knowledge itself and, more
significantly, the routes that lead to it, making it easier to access the next time. It means

remember what they have learned. There are too many concepts and teachings to
remember. On the other hand, spaced practice divides the instruction into smaller lessons
and requires the students to go over the content more thoroughly. This means that these
factors affect information retention, which can lead to a failing grade or a passing grade.
In addition, it will determine learning retention and whether the students are able to

Grade 8 teachers also helped the researchers to administer the survey questionnaire to the
reliable, accurate, and true response to the questions about factors affecting their
information retention. On the same day that the survey was given out to the participants,
In this study, the statistical tool, along with the formula corresponding to it, was

3. 25 (Agree), and 3.26 – 4.00 (Strongly Agree). The results are presented in descending
average weighted arithmetic mean of 3.24 with a qualitative index of “Agree”. This data
signifies that the student respondents agreed that repetition or practice is one of the
factors affect their information retention. Students are able to comprehend information
more quickly through repetition or repetitious exercises. To support the result, Ritter and
Schooler, (2010) as cited in ResearchGate (2023) indicated that longer practice should be
conducted in order to have potentially high retention. In other words, practice learning
wants to make sure that students fully comprehend a subject, and their long-term memory
somehow makes it easier for them to recall any concepts or ideas that may be needed in
the future. Moreover, repetition retained the information and preserve knowledge that is
Based on the responses of the students, statement number five (5)—“I repeatedly
practiced in my mind the answer to the given question of my teacher before I raised my
hand” got the first highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.58 with a qualitative index of
“Strongly Agree”. This shows that the respondents strongly agreed that they mentally
practiced their responses to the teacher questions several times before raising their hands.
In order to increase their self-esteem, the students emphasize the value of constantly
practicing their responses before they expound. According to the Encyclopedia (2019),
the adage "practice makes perfect" serves as an illustration that repetition enhances

learning. It was noted that learning sensitivity to repetition provides evidence for its
In addition, statement number one (1)—“I learn when the teacher always recalls
the lesson” got a second highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.35 with a qualitative
index of “Strongly Agree”. This shows that the respondents strongly agreed that they
learn when the teacher always recall the lesson. It implies recalling a lesson before
starting to a new lesson discussion enhances the learning information retention of the
students. As stated by Zhan, Guo, and Yang (2018), repetition in learning significantly
In light of the students responses, statement number seven (7)—“I always learn
by doing and then repeating the activity based on the lesson discussion” got the third
highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.30 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”.
This demonstrates that the respondents learn by doing and repeating activities based on
the lesson discussion. It suggests that students prefer a repeating activity-based approach
repetition-based exercises or activities which help students learn new ideas while also
reviewing their prior knowledge. They can apply their own expertise to further their
learning in every lesson, this tactic makes them feel competent and confident.

weighted arithmetic mean of 3.40 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This
demonstrates that the respondents strongly agree that they are satisfied with the teaching
process or strategies of the teacher as presented in the lesson objectives, which satisfy the
learning outcomes. Students who responded that they are satisfied with the educational
process and their learning outcomes do so because they find learning to be meaningful.
According to Santos and Castro (2020), define meaningful learning as a satisfaction from
results in attaining a desired goal. The student satisfaction with the teaching process and
desired goal of a learners should be presented and targeted at the beginning of the lesson.
In addition, statement number two (2)—“I can relate practical application of the
lesson to my own learning experiences” got the second highest weighted arithmetic mean
of 3.38 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This demonstrates that the
respondents are able to relate learning to their experiences through the teaching-learning
process, such as the question-and-answer portion of the lesson. This helps the students to
develop their critical thinking skills. As stated by Sofiana (2022) meaningful learning
involves the construction of knowledge that helps students learn in a meaningful way by
helping them make sense of their experiences. Meaningful learning is accomplished when
the student has an excellent learning experience. Thus, it makes the teaching-learning

overall weighted arithmetic mean of 3.32 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”.
This signifies that the student respondents strongly agreed that whole vs. part learning
affects information retention. The information retention refer to whole learning and part
learning which these are commonly used in the classroom as a technique in a teaching-
44
learning process. According to APA Dictionary (n.d) whole learning is the students given
a generalization of a whole learning outcome that should be attained. While, part learning
is a learning technique in which the lesson is broken down into portions that must be

better when their teacher gives them step-by-step instructions on a task because it is easy
to follow and it is a guide for learning, especially for those students who encountered
learning which guides the learners to be specific in learning before attaining the bigger

index of “Strongly Agree”. This implies that the respondents wanted a summary of ideas
before they did a task. It implies that giving an outline of the lesson helps the students
know the learning that they need to attain. According to Cardino & Ortega-Dela Cruz
(2020) the instructor who introduces and briefly describes ideas to students before
requiring them to complete a task and to put the ideas into practice. The general ideas or
According to the students responses, statement number three (3)—“I find that
whole learning puts pressure on me because I doubt I will reach the desired learning
outcome in the subject” got the third highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.40 with a
qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This demonstrates that the respondents are under
pressure to learn because they are uncertain about their ability to meet their teacher
expectations. It implies that there are students who find whole learning gives pressure
because they doubt their capabilities to attain a target learning outcome which is set by
the standard at the beginning of the lesson. As stated by Shaw (2022) whole learning is
taught as a complete process with overloading information without being divided into
smaller parts. Teaching students difficult parts of the lesson and given activities also

students in Kasaysayan ng Daigdig in terms of massed and spaced practice had generated
an average weighted arithmetic mean of 3.22 with a qualitative index of “Agree”. This
signifies that the student respondents agreed that massed and spaced affects information
retention. The massed and spaced practice are important because it gives ideas on the
teacher should encourage students to determine their review routine. According to ITAC
(2021), it can be used initially to achieve a certain level of skill. While, to promote long-
term, continuous improvement and retention, there might be spaced learning. To attain
learning goals while cramming therefore massed practice is used. To the contrary, to
improve information retention then the students might use spaced learning even if they
attained a target good academic performance the learnings from the subject matter or
Based on the responses of the students, statement number one (1)—“I make a
plan/schedule for review” got the first highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.38 with a
qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This shows that a plan or timeline for review is a
technique used by respondents; they make time for learning. As a result, the students
favor creating a strategy or schedule for reviewing. As cited in Intelligent (2023) students
can be held accountable for their own learning results through the use of a study plan.

even with little time to review for the exam, the respondents do well. According to Lane
(2022), cramming the night before an exam can help students retain information in the
short term and ensure that they have learned enough to pass the test.

implies that motivation is a driving force for students to learn as assessed by the
respondents. It helps them to strive in their studies and learn. According to Mauliya,
Relianisa, and Rokhyati's (2020), one of the most important internal factors affecting
input that controls and guides human conduct, including learning behavior.
Based on the responses of the students, statement number one (6)—“I am really
motivated to complete a lesson because it is my favorite subject” got the first highest
weighted arithmetic mean of 3.50 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This
implies the driving force of the student is the interest in the subject Kasaysayan ng
and learning activities and their justifications for doing so (Mangubhai, 2006; as cited by
Castro, 2018). In addition, Beboso, and Bual (2022) with regard to social issues, social
science is a field that equips students with information, abilities, and attitudes. Also, this
is crucial in fostering the knowledge, abilities, behavior, and human values that will help
children become responsible citizens who are aware of their rights and civic obligations.
Also, this develops their general abilities like critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-
making, and research, which they can use to improve their lives and drive social
transformation.
In light of the students responses, statement number two (4)—“I prefer when my
teacher gives motivational activities in the class.” got the second highest weighted
arithmetic mean of 3.48 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. The students
prefer to have motivational activities in the teaching and learning process because it helps
the class to become more engaging and caught the attention of the class for better
motivation activity is goal-directed. The student motivation describes the time and effort

students devote to activities that may or may not be those that their teachers find
According to the students responses, statement number three (3)—“I have a good
learning experience in the subject; therefore, I am motivated to excel in the subject.” got
the third highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.38 with a qualitative index of “Strongly
Agree”. This demonstrates that the respondents strongly agreed that they are motivated
to succeed in the subject because they had a positive learning experience. According to
Times Higher Education (2022) it is possible to think of motivation as the drive and
vitality behind learning. Both internal learning objectives or mastery goals and external
motivators or performance goals like grade recognition can help students learn. A

data signifies that the student respondents strongly agreed that feedback affects
retention and has a direct impact to the teaching-learning process. This can be a way for
teachers to hold the students willingness to learn and improve. According to Victoria

with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This refers to the fact that feedback can
improve the performance of students because they are able to reflect and improve if there
is something lacking in their performance as students. Using portfolio the students know
works. According to Cusipag (2018) to determine the progress of students, they are able

to reflect the progress of their own work through the feedback given.
According to the students responses, statement number six (6)—“I make an effort
to complete a lesson because I am interested in the subject, and the teacher gives
feedback” got the third highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.48 with a qualitative index
of “Strongly Agree”. This implies that getting the interest of student is important to
excel in the subject. As stated by Teach.com (2020) if they believe their effort is
respected and recognized, students are more likely to be enthusiastic about learning.
Students look to teachers for approval and positive reinforcement. To help students feel
valued, teachers can promote open dialogue with their classes. Give students lots of
praise. Appreciate them for what they have performed. Students will be more willing to
study if the classroom is a welcoming environment where they feel heard and
appreciated.

“Strongly Agree”. This means that the student respondents strongly agreed that passage
of time or time management is a factor that affects information retention. This refers to
the allotted time of students in their own learning. It show the effort to strive in their
studies and using their time effectively therefore the learning information retain.
55
According to the Hood (2018) defines the passage of time that it refers to changes the
context of learning. If time has passed the most likely approach information in a different
way, and use different cues or triggers. Therefore, the way the learner uses their time in
(2021) time management is about spending the time on the right thing. In order to
manage the time effectively, understand the priorities, obligations, and schedule of an
activity or task.
Based on the responses of the students, statement number four (4)—“I know my
academic performance” got the first highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.45 with a
qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This shows that the respondents strongly believe
that they are aware of their obligations as students, and as a result, they successfully
manage their time to maintain high academic achievement. The teacher should know the
clear goals and intellectual challenge for the students because setting a standard for
learning is a must for the students to strive and be responsible. According to Alyami and
Abdulwahed, et. al. (2021) students are responsible for their own academic success
because they do not just ask their teachers for advice; they also make decisions and
oversee all activities. The time in which they make an effort to do their activities depends
While, statement number seven (7) — “I read the lesson ahead of time to engage
in the discussion” got the second highest weighted arithmetic mean of 3.45 with a
qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. Therefore, the teacher can at least encourage
56
students to read to be ready for the next discussion. This helps prepare the students to
participate; the teacher will just add information and make the ideas clear. According to
Adams (2019) personal learning strategies call on students to actively engage in their
studies despite obstacles such a perceived lack of time. So, students use passage of time
According to the students responses, statement number one (1)—“I allot time to
study my lesson to prevent failure in activities and exam” got the third highest weighted
arithmetic mean of 3.38 with a qualitative index of “Strongly Agree”. This shows that a
majority of respondents firmly believed they had enough time to review their lesson in
order to pass activities and tests. This means that the students study their lesson using
different techniques or strategies depending on their capabilities and make time for
learning. As cited in Filipino Journal (2021) states that time management is about
spending the time in the right thing. In order to manage the time effectively, understand
