“…However, in this study, with the mnemonics strategies treatment, it was found that the average and low ability pupils made great improvement where they only made careless errors compared to the control group. Here, it can be deduced that the mnemonic strategies given to the treatment group did enhance memory especially in connecting new information with prior knowledge by means of visual and acoustic cues [18,24]. The strategies seemed to provide students with "a great way to remember" information [26].…”

“…Students using keyword mnemonics recalled more concrete than abstract words both immediately after learning and after a one-day time interval [23]. Research has shown that mnemonics have the potential to assist the learning process and improve formal reasoning [24]. Students who have difficulties with mathematics often benefit from mnemonic learning strategies which provide a step-by-step process to accomplish a task [25].…”

MATAS Hopscotchtechnique was created to solve the subtraction of three types of fractions. The study involved 56 pupils from two Year 5 classes. A quasi-experimental, nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest delayed post-test was conducted on two intact groups, randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. A pretest was administered at the early stage of this study. The study described types of error made by the pupils in solving the subtraction of fractions. Rubrics, Hodes and Notling (1998), were used to describe types of error made by the pupils in the pretest and posttest. The findings in the pretest showed both groups made concept, directions, and careless errors. However, in the posttest, the experimental group made careless errors while the control group made concept, directions, and careless errors. The number of errors made by the control group was higher than that made by the experimental group.

“…Not only has it been shown to be superior to lectures but, in the case of shoulder dystocia, it can also reduce brachial plexus injuries [13]. There is good evidence for mnemonics in principle aiding learning and recall [14,15]. They have also been shown to be effective in improving cognitive function [16].…”

“…Mnemonic devices are strategies for enhancing memory (Figure 1). Mnemonic was derived from the name of the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, in Greek mythology (Laing, 2010). Mnemonic imagination bridges the past, present, and future, and supplies of thinking about the relationship between understanding the past, actions in the present, and future ambitions (Keightley & Pickering, 2012).…”

Many studies on rice landrace (Oryza sativa sbsp. indica) have been conducted by biodiversity, ethnobotany, and agroecology disciplines. The importance of rice landraces as genetic resources and the basics of human civilizations. Conservation landraces in Tumbang Datu and Pongbembe nowadays are affected by the following socio-cultural constraints: a) decline numbers of local varieties after the regional government-imposed funding to local communities to substitute new-high yield varieties, b) rice rites and landrace conservation are on the brink of extinction. This research explores daily behaviors that contribute to rice landrace conservations through the sociological approach of collective memory and symbolic interaction. Today’s generations use new meanings and symbols of rice derived from collective memories and virtues. Various interviewees practice mnemonic devices (what, why, who, where, when, and how) that reflect foodways. According to Blumer, social structures are networks of interdependence among actors that place conditions on their actions. In these networks, people act and produce symbols and meanings of rice to interpret their situations and to have their own set in a localized process of social interpretation. Moreover, the Toraja language is used as a bridge in communicating the past, present, and future to strengthening collective identity. This research uses a qualitative method to explore rice landrace conservation using open-ended questions, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions. A free-listing method was followed to gather interviewees’ collective memories of rice landraces. Findings show that a combination of methods, tradition-based conservation, and current scientific-technology-based conservation become a practice for promoting, educating, and stimulating the public and researchers to engage in landraces conservation. These findings suggest that the socio-cultural ecosystem and Blumer’s social network support new networks to deliver science in agricultural innovation policy. The results showed that collective memories and foodways create ways that would benefit rice landrace conservation the most.
