INVESTIGATING THE USE OF EDUCATIONAL GAME APPLICATIONS IN ENHANCING GRADE 1 MATHEMATICS LESSONS

Education

The main goal of this study was to see how effective the intervention of Educational Game Applications compared to any available teaching materials in teaching Mathematics to Grade 1 emerging level learners of Sto. Tomas Elementary School. Two groups, control and experimental were subjected to be tested on the effectiveness. The experimental group, the recipient of the intervention was taught with the intervention of Educational Game Applications while the control group was taught with any available teaching materials inside the classroom. Pretest and Posttest were administered using the RMA Toolkit. Pre-Test was administered for both group and was done through one-on-one testing. After the intervention of Educational Game Apps, Post-Test was administered for both groups. Thus, the results were compared through the learners’ scores. The study concluded that there was a significant difference between the scores of the learners’ pre-test and posttest in the experimental group. And, there was no significant difference in the scores of the learners’ posttest in the experimental and control group but the experimental group improved more than the control group. As a result, using the Educational Game Applications, learners can easily learn the Mathematical skills in a convenient way. Because of the favorable outcomes of the trial, the researcher advised teachers to use the Educational Game Applications as their tool for teaching Mathematics.
