An investigation into first year elective science and integrated science students’ understanding of length in measurement at Kadjebi Asato Senior High School (KASEC)

Abstract

Conversion within quantities of same units and between quantities of different units is a thorny subject to students at Kadjebi Asato Senior High (KASEC) and its treatment by tutors sometimes becomes very difficult such that most tutors resort to handling the subject theoretically / abstractly. When this happens most students seemed not to comprehend the subject. In view of this, one aspect of the DTML-Conversion models (i.e. D-Conversion model) was used. The DTML-Conversion Models is a model that has been designed by the researcher to make the teaching of conversion in measurement very easy to tutors and meaningful to students.
