Abstract

The study of history is related to memorisation skills. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of visual sketch method in improving memorisation of Form Five History facts. This quasi-experiment was carried out through a quantitative approach. The sample group for this study involved 60 students; 30 of whom were taught using the visual sketch method as the experiment group while the other 30 students as a control group. The instruments used consisted of a pre-test, post-test, and a checklist. The pre- and post-tests were conducted in order to observe the performance differences in answering structural questions for the experiment and control group while the checklist was used to examine the students’ answers for the structured section. The data obtained were analyzed  using  Statistical  Packages  for  Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23.0 software. Results of the study were analysed using a t-test. The mean score of the experiment group was 32.167 with a standard deviation of 3.464, showing higher findings in comparison to the control group which recorded a mean score of 18.9 with a standard deviation of 3.826. Overall, majority of the students are confident that the visual sketch method makes it easier for them to memorise facts in History. The implication of this study’s findings prove that the visual sketch method is practical and should be used as one of the strategies of teaching and learning History as a subject.
