Sing it to Memorise it (SINGEMORY): Enhancing Student Academic Performance through Song

Due to the inherent complexity and continuously evolving nature of company regulations, there is an increasing demand for innovative and effective teaching and learning methods, particularly for students enrolled in corporate and compliance courses. Traditional pedagogical approaches often fall short in fostering deep comprehension and long-term memorisation of the extensive and complex compliance terminology and concepts essential in these subjects. This gap makes it challenging to connect theoretical knowledge with practical application, a crucial skill for success in examinations and real-world corporate governance. Consequently, there is a need for creative instructional strategies that transform passive learning into an engaging, interactive, and memorable experience (Blessing, 2024). Among these innovative techniques, song-based learning has emerged as a promising approach that capitalises on music to enhance memorisation and facilitate the internalisation of complex information. The “Sing It to Memorise It” (SINGEMORY) is a learning method that integrates songs into the curriculum to help students memorise key compliance concepts and terminologies effectively. The SINGEMORY kit includes comprehensive guidelines, clear terms and conditions, and a detailed scoring rubric to streamline and standardise the learning activities. One of the most significant advantages of SINGEMORY is its versatility; both educators and students can adapt the method across various subjects throughout their academic journey, fostering consistent engagement and improved retention. By bridging theoretical understanding and practical application through an enjoyable medium, SINGEMORY contributes to enhancing student performance and reducing the risk of corporate wrongdoing due to inadequate comprehension.
