Description
Summary:Writing during reading activity had often proved with comprehension, rather than memorization. This research aimed to investigate whether writing during a reading activity can affect memory retrieval performance using 3 different groups of modes of encoding; Reading-Only group, Reading-and-Rewriting group, Reading-and-RandomWriting group. Fourty-five dean lists undergraduates from University Malaysia Sarawak was randomly chosen and divided into the 3 groups of encoding (N=15 each group) to take part in the research where the mean scores of the test given to each of the 3 groups of encoding were compared using One Way ANOVA. Findings revealed that writing act as the enhancer when students read, showing bigger mean scores in rewriting group and random writing group than reading only group, proving this research as significant in the education settings.
