Problem Identification The Scope of Study

1.4 Reseach Questions

In this study, the research questions are as follows : 1. Is there any significant difference students learning outcome between class taught by using Mnemonic technique and without Mnemonic technique on human reproduction system at SMA Negeri 8 Medan? 2. Is there any significant difference students retention between class taught by using Mnemonic technique and without Mnemonic technique on human reproduction System at SMA Negeri 8 Medan?

1.5 Research Objectives

The objectives of this study are : 1. Knowing difference between students learning outcome is taught by using Mnemonic technique and without Mnemonic technique on Human reproduction system at SMA Negeri 8 Medan. 2. Knowing difference between students retention is taught by using Mnemonic technique and without Mnemonic technique on Human reproduction system at SMA Negeri 8 Medan.

1.6 Significances of Research

The significances that expected from the results of this study are : 1. For teachers, this study is expected able to enhance the innovative learning instructional by Mnemonic Technique in the classroom. 2. For students, Mnemonic Technique is expected able to improve the students learning outcome on Human reproduction system. 3. For school, can increase the learning quality especially in learning human reproduction system. 47

CHAPTER V CONCLUSSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1. Conclussion

The Conclussion of this research are : 1. There is significant difference of student learning outcome in class XI IA 4 as mnemonic class and class XI IA 3 as control class that taught by conventional learning on human reproduction system. 2. There is significant difference of student retention in class XI IA 4 as mnemonic class and class XI IA 3 as control class that taught by conventional learning on human reproduction system. It concluded that mnemonic technique more better than conventional class to increase students’ learning outcome and retention of human reproductive system topic in senior high school.

5.2. Suggestion

Based on these result the suggestion that researcher can provide are : 1. The biology teacher can using mnemonic technique as alternative in choose the technique of learning that expected to increase student’s learning outcome and retention. 2. Giving reinforcement to students that have increase of learning outcome is very effective to increase students’s learning outcome and retention. 3. Can make consideration for the school to direct the teachers to be more creative in the use of learning techniques.
