Keywords:
Remedial Teaching / Technology-Based Learning / Units of MeasurementAbstract
The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate the effects of remedial teaching on improving the undergraduate chemistry students’ ability, and (2) to assess the undergraduate chemistry students’ satisfaction towards the remedial teaching. The participants were 19 chemistry undergraduate students of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The researchers provided the activity sheets and technology-based learning (Kahoot!) through the remedial teaching strategies: Engagement (E), Discussion (D), and Conclusion (C) to develop mathematical concepts’ in units of measurement: Scientific Notation, Standard International Unit--SI Prefix, Unit of Volume, and Unit of Mass. The results showed that the students were seen to do marginally better overall significantly, and there was high satisfaction with the implementation of the remedial teaching strategies.
