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 situations. Thus, the value goes beyond the classroom and the school. Teaching Mathematics in elementary school is pretty difficult. Teachers have to deal with their own attitude; they are affected with 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 use in this study is the combination of quasi-experimental type with pre-posttest design and qualitative research where in 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 given the posttest. Data were gathered using percentage and interpreted in a tabular manner.

RESULTS

The result revealed that thru remedial classes using E-Games, the improvement on the pupils' Mathematical skills was determined on the scores of pre-test and posttest wherein increases in the results using the e-games as numeracy tool were evident. In four competencies given in each level, respondents got 37% in the over-all MPS in pre-test while after the intervention, respondents got 89.59 in the over-all MPS in post-test. It is clearly seen that result showed improvement.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the findings, it is crystal clear that the result between pre-test and posttest has an enrichment on the pupils' mathematical skills. This study was able to substantiate that indeed E-Games numeracy tool thru the aid of remedial classes is effective if not the best tool for the pupils to acquire knowledge and make Math easy to understand. Researchers encourage every teacher to design more numeracy tool in Math. Likewise, they should integrate different teaching styles and methods to help pupils to learn.
