The first group had the traditional method with textbooks and teacher's teaching. The second group worked with the proposed application at school along with the classroom sessions. A quasi experimental pre and post tests model was conducted to measure the learning gain for classification and relatedness cognitive skills. The results had shown significant gain by the second group over the first one and hence support the use of the proposed application in practice. The conclusion is that proposed application can be used as teaching support along with formal school learning. © 2015 IEEE. %O cited By 1; Conference of 2015 International Symposium on Mathematical Sciences and Computing Research, iSMSC 2015 ; Conference Date: 19 May 2015 Through 20 May 2015; Conference Code:124374 %J 2015 International Symposium on Mathematical Sciences and Computing Research, iSMSC 2015 - Proceedings %L scholars6759 %D 2016 %R 10.1109/ISMSC.2015.7594063
