摘要:The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of Spaced Learning technique as a teaching and learning method for students in Higher Learning Institutes (HLIs). Amidst the rapidly changing technological environment, creating long-term memories is still at the core of education. Spaced Learning is a learning method in which highly condensed learning content is repeated three times, with two 10-minute breaks during which distractor activities such as physical activities are performed by the students. It was suggested that spacing learning over time helps people learn more quickly and remember better. This study examines the impact of using Spaced Learning technique on students' performance and motivation to learn. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented. Two groups of students were chosen, and both were taught on the same pre-identified topic, albeit using two different methods: 1) the conventional way, and 2) using Spaced Learning technique. A pre-test and post-test were conducted to both groups. The students’ motivation and performance results were analysed and discussed.
