Improving Primary Numbers Multiplication Skills in Slow Learner Children: Using the Cover, Copy and Compare (CCC) Method

Abstract

This study aims to prove that the cover, copy and compare (CCC) method effectively improves the ability to multiply basic numbers in slow learner children. This research design is a quasi-experiment where each subject is measured repeatedly both before and after the CCC method is applied. The research subjects amounted to 3 children whose intelligence abilities had been measured and included in the category of Slow learner children. The research data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t Test statistical test. The results showed an increase in the average ability of basic number multiplication before and after treatment. This study also found a positive difference in the ability to multiply basic numbers in slow learner children before and after the application of the CCC method with a significance value of p<0.05 based on the Paired Sample t Test. The findings of this study prove that the cover, copy and compare (CCC) method is effective in improving basic number multiplication skills in slow learner children.
