Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of DoCtorWoRMs Module in improving multiplication skills among Year Four low achievers in National-TypeChinese Primary School (SJKC). DoCtor WoRMs Module had been designed based onConstructivist Theory, mastery learning, and game-based learning. The module was developedbased on Sideks Module Development Model. Quantitative approaches with quasi-experimental designwere used for this study. A number of 60 Year Four low achievers from Manjung Districtwere selected using random sampling. The sample was divided into the treatment and controlgroups. The former went through a teaching and learning process using DoCtor WoRMs Module, whilethe latter learnt through traditional teaching. After the pre-test, three months of interventionwas carried out to both groups of sample, followed by a post-test. Data was analysed usingdescriptive and inferential statistics. Dependent t-test showed that there was a significantincrease in the achievement of treatment group from pre-test (M = 59.47, SD = 27.242) topost-test (M = 91.53, SD = 12.566), t(29) = 6.254,p
