Assisting Basic Six Pupils of Presbyterian Women’s College of Education Demonstration School, Aburi-Akuapem, To Discover the Product of Two Multi-Digit Multiplicands Using the Lattice
An action research was performed with the aim of solving problems involving two multi-digit multiplicands using the lattice to give pupils’ conceptual understanding of multiplication in basic six at the Presbyterian Women’s College of Education Demonstration School. Twenty-five pupils out of fifty (50) were selected using The simple random sampling technique from a combined class of Six ‘A’ and Six ‘B’ who have difficulties in answering questions under multiplication involving two multi-digit numbers, after writing a teacher made test (Pre-Test). The Pre- Test produced 16% pass mark as compared to the post-test which gave 88% pass mark after the intervention. The discovery method of teaching was used in the intervention procedure to find the multiplication of multi-digit numbers. Pupils were directed to use the lattice to perform activities which had the potential of developing their conceptual understanding of the topic. The data collected indicated that some pupils improved their understanding but some pupils needed more time to re-learn the subject. This research only presents some practical solutions proposed within the time available. Keywords: Action Research, Pre- Test, post-test, Multi-Digit Number
Management research and the impact of COVID-19 on performance: a bibliometric review and suggestions for future research
Although there has been a burgeoning scholarly interest in the effects of COVID-19, the current stream of research remains scattered in different business and management fields and domains. Accordingly, integrative knowledge is needed to drive poignant and relevant examinations of the phenomenon. This study attempts to fill this gap by providing a synthesis of the literature, patterns of research studies, and direction for further development of the field. This study also provides a systematic identification and bibliometric and thematic review of literature, performance analysis, science mapping, and cluster analysis. The study additionally provides suggestions for future research to guide relevant discourse
