Abstract

This action research is aimed to explore the effectiveness of Triangle trick method in aiding the ability of students to remember the formulae in physics. The research was conducted involving 36 students from grade 9 during science classes. The study employed a mixed-method approach, with both quantitative and qualitative data collected through pre and post tests. The triangle trick method involved creating a triangle with the variables of formulae, which the students used to visually remember the formulae. The results showed a significant improvement in the students’ ability to recall and apply the formulae. The average score in the post-test is increased from 68% to 88%. Additionally, the students reported that the triangle trick method was easy to understand and helped them remember the formulae better. The study contributes to the growing body of research on teaching and learning strategies that can enhance students’ academic performance in science. It suggests that the triangle trick method could be used as an effective mnemonic tool to help students learn and remember formulae in physics.
