Abstract

Humans are born into the world equipped with motor skills that make it easier for humans to adapt to their environment as the beginning of the learning process to gain knowledge. A suitable method in teaching and learning activities will make it easier for students to adapt to the lessons presented so that they can be understood easily. Ultimately, the learning and educational goals will be achieved. One of the methods used to deliver lessons is the memorization method. This method is believed to be a form of assimilation of the child's brain with its new environment (new lessons or unknown theories). With the memorization method, students are expected to be able to remember new lessons or theories and then process them to the next level in the cognitive aspect.
