The relative effectiveness of the traditional method and the modern method of teaching grade three arithmetic on the academic achievement of pupils

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the modern method and the traditional method of teaching grade three arithmetic on the academic achievement of pupils, through an experiment.

In the learning-teaching situation, method is important since it may mean economy of time and effort both on the part of the learners and the teacher. It sometimes means a difference in learning-teaching outcomes. Methods and techniques are being tried by our educators, educational leaders, and educational scientists to discover those that would highly be useful in the arena of education.
