Investigating the Impact of the 5Cs Framework on Geometry Achievement Among Senior Secondary School Students in Makurdi Metropolis, Benue State, Nigeria
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of the 5Cs framework (presumably referring to a set of pedagogical principles, though the exact nature needs clarification) on senior secondary school students' achievement in geometry within Makurdi Metropolis, Benue State, Nigeria. The research addressed concerns about student performance in mathematics, particularly geometry, and the potential of contemporary teaching approaches to improve learning outcomes. The study employed a quasi-experimental design. Data was collected and analyzed to determine the effect of the 5Cs framework on students' geometry achievement.
