Ensuring Permanent Learning: A Pedagogical Perspective

Abstract

Ensuring the long-term retention of knowledge is one of the primary goals of education, especially at the primary school level, where strong foundational learning significantly impacts future academic success. This study investigates effective methods for enhancing retention in young students using active learning strategies such as music, drama, storytelling, hands-on activities, and interdisciplinary approaches. By stimulating both the emotional and cognitive abilities of children, these strategies aim to enhance memory retention and conceptual understanding. The findings suggest that integrating experiential learning techniques can significantly improve students’ ability to recall and apply knowledge over long periods of time.
