Advancing Mathematical Skills of Primary Learners in the Philippines: The Impact of Technology-Driven Interactive Differentiated Games
摘要
This study explores the impact of technology-enhanced interactive differentiated games, based on the 4A’s instructional model, on improving Grade 3 pupils’ ability to solve mathematical word problems. The study involved 20 pupils from Grade 3 Mabini, employing a quantitative approach with a pretest and posttest design. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test was conducted to compare pretest and posttest results. The results showed an improvement in problem-solving abilities among the students, with originally low-mastery students moving to mastery after the intervention. The achievement indicates the effectiveness of interactive differentiated games in improving engagement and math ability. The novelty of this research stems from employing adaptive, technology-driven approaches to support different levels of skill, offering a cutting-edge solution to narrowing the gaps in education. This study, in a larger context, corroborates the potential of game-based learning to improve engagement, personalization, and effectiveness in all subjects, and its potential to realign conventional educational methodologies.
