Abstract

This research was quasi-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The objectives were 1) to study the effect of listening to vocabulary during deep sleep on vocabulary memory and 2) to study the satisfaction with the process of measuring the vocabulary memory level of kindergarten students in the deep sleep stage. The sample group consisted of 30 kindergarten 3 students studying in the second semester of the 2022 academic year at Hua Chiew School, under the Office of the Private Education Commission.  The research instrument used was a test. The statistics used in data analysis were mean, standard deviation and t-test. The research results found that 1) after the experiment, kindergarten students had a significantly higher mean score on vocabulary memorization ability than before the experiment at the statistical significance level of .05. 2) The satisfaction results of the process of measuring the vocabulary memorization level of kindergarten students consisted of 5 main issues that were between the good and very good levels.
