THE USAGE OF SPACED REPETITION TECHNIQUE TO CHILDREN'S MEMORIZATION OF NEW VOCABULARY
Abstract
The Spaced Repetition Technique (SRT) is a highly effective method for enhancing memory retention and learning efficiency, particularly in children learning new vocabulary. This article explores the practical applications and benefits of SRT in educational settings. By utilizing tools such as flashcards and digital apps, educators and parents can implement structured review sessions that reinforce learning at optimal intervals. Personalized learning plans and adaptive technologies further tailor the SRT approach to individual needs, ensuring each child receives the appropriate reinforcement. Additionally, incorporating SRT into classroom activities, after-school programs, and home study routines can significantly boost motivation, engagement, and long-term retention. The article highlights the versatility and adaptability of SRT, making it an invaluable tool for improving academic outcomes and fostering lifelong learning habits in children.
