Abstract
The purposes of this research were to: 1) compare the students' English vocabulary learning achievement before and after learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory. 2) compare the students' English vocabulary learning retention before and after learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory. 3) study students’ opinions toward learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory. The sample group in this research comprised 39 students, Group 1HT/62, they were obtained from a simple random sampling technique by using groups as random units. In addition, the research tools were; 4 Learning Plans, The Learning Achievement Test of English Vocabulary (Pre/Post-Test), The Retention Test of English Vocabulary and The Questionnaire survey of students’ opinions toward learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory. Total duration of research was 18 hours. The Mean (M), Standard deviation (SD) and Dependent t-test were applied for data analysis.
The results of the research were as follows: 1) the students' English vocabulary learning achievement after learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory were higher than those before studying at the .05 level. 2) the students' English vocabulary learning retentions after the end of learning process about 14 days were slightly lower than the Post-Test which was not statistically significant at the .05 level. 3) the students’ opinions toward the learning through Group Process Integrated with Vocabulary Picture Books based on the Neuroscience Theory were positive at a good level (M=4.17 and SD=.68).
