THE EFFECT OF ANAGRAM ON STUDENTS' SPELLING PROFICIENCY: AN EXPERIMENT ON ELEMENTARY STUDENTS OF WIN INSTITUTE PAMEKASAN

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of anagram-based learning strategies on students spelling abilities, addressing the critical research question of whether these strategies can enhance spelling proficiency compared to before and after treatment. To assess this, quantitative data were collected through standardized spelling assessments and performance metrics administered before and after the implementation of anagram exercises in the classroom setting. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement in spelling scores among students who engaged with anagram-based activities, suggesting that these strategies not only foster greater engagement in the learning process but also lead to enhanced retention of spelling patterns and rules. The result of the research shows that Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.00 that lower than 0.05. It means that there is positive effect of anagram on students spelling proficiency. Furthermore, the significance of improved spelling abilities extends beyond. By enhancing student spelling capabilities through effective and interactive methods such as anagram exercises, the study contributes valuable insights that may inform instructional design and pedagogical approaches in educational settings.
