The Impact of E-Games as the Mathematical Intervention Tool For Selected Grade Three Pupils of Aga Elementary School: Basis For Continuous Improvement Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics is one subject that encompasses life at any age and in any situation. Thus, the value goes beyond the classroom and the school. Teaching Mathematics in elementary school is difficult. Teachers have to deal with their own attitudes, they are affected by problems that frustrate their efforts to teach effectively and efficiently. In this study, researchers find a solution on how to improve the Mathematical skills of the pupils.

METHODS

The method used in this study is the combination of quasi-experimental type with pre and post-test design and qualitative research where researchers chose the 27 pupils who got the lowest score in the first quarterly examination in Math. We developed Mathematical intervention tools through E-Games to improve the skills of the pupils in Math. After the intervention done, they were given the post-test. Data were gathered using percentage and interpreted in a tabular manner.

RESULTS

The result revealed that remedial classes using E-Games helped improve the pupils’ mathematical skills. In four competencies given in each level, respondents got 37% in the over-all MPS in the pre-test while after the intervention, respondents got 89.59 in the over-all MPS in the post-test.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the results of the pre and post-tests, the mathematical skills of the students have improved. This study was able to substantiate that indeed E-Games numeracy tool through the aid of remedial classes is effective if not the best tool for the pupils to acquire knowledge and understand Math more easily. Researchers encourage every teacher to design more numeracy tools in Math. Likewise, they should integrate different teaching styles and methods to help pupils to learn.
