Abstract

The descriptive research was used to describe relationships among variables, without attempting to infer causal connections. The analytical research was used to determine and measure the relations among the variables in the study. There were 296 respondents were chosen using purposive sampling. Self-made questionnaire was used. Frequency distribution, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used for data analysis. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Majority of the respondents are (a) within 21-22 years old (45.6%), (b) female nursing students (62.8%), (c) 3rd year nursing students (29.7%), and (d) those who often use active recall and spaced repetition for memory retention (47%); 2) The respondents perceive active recall as having a high impact on memory retention; 3) The respondents perceive spaced repetition as having a moderate impact on memory retention; 4) The respondents have the same perception regarding active recall on memory retention, when grouped according to age, sex, and year level. The age, sex, and year level of the respondents do not tend to affect any difference in the perception of respondents regarding the effects of active recall on memory retention; 5) The perception among the respondents regarding the effects of spaced repetition on memory retention, when grouped according to year level and frequency of use, varies. In the use of spaced repetition, year level and frequency of use does seem to influence difference in the perceptions of respondents regarding the effects of spaced repetition on memory retention; 6) There are different perceptions among the respondents regarding the effects of active recall and spaced repetition on memory retention, when grouped according to frequency of use. The frequency of use of the aforementioned studying techniques seem to influence the differences in the perception of respondents regarding the effects of active recall and spaced repetition on memory retention; 7) The respondents have varying perceptions regarding the effects of active recall and spaced repetition on memory retention when compared alone.
