Evaluating the effectiveness of GSU-based learning modules in improving the primary six students' understanding level in Geometry

The aim for the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the GSU-Based Learning Modules designed and developed by Tan (2011) improving the students’ understanding level in learning geometry. The research covered the topic of Shapes and Spaces KBSR for primary six students. The GSU-Based Learning...
