2. 1.0 REFLECTION ON PAST LESSONS
The complex concepts and vocabulary of biology classes discourage many students. It has been
observed that one common problem encountered by the students in the biology is difficulty in
understanding biological concepts. In effect, efforts should be made to reduce the total amount of
factual information students are expected to memorize; reduce the use of the passive lecture
format; and devote more effort to helping students become active, independent learners and
problem solvers (Vander, 1994 ).
2.0 FOCUS OF THE STUDY
In this study, a model will be used to test the effectiveness of flashcards in reinforcing biological
concepts by comparing the results of the subjects with flash cards and without flash cards. The
subjects of this study will be 8 biology students at Kolej Tingkatan Enam Bandar Utama.
3.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
After the completion of the lesson, the students should be able to achieve the following
objectives:
3.1 GENERAL OBJECTIVES
 Get better results in the STPM Biology
3.2 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
 Be able to memorise biological concepts
 Be able to better answer exam questions more effectively
4.0 TARGET GROUP
This study will involve 8 biology students of Kolej Tingkatan Enam Bandar Utama
