Game-Based Assessment (GBA): Toolto Enhancethe Mathematics Skillsof Grade Vin Lobo Elementary School, SY. 2018-2019

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Grade V pupils of Lobo Elementary School find difficulty in learning Math. In fact, they got the lowest mean percentage score during their pretest. The researcher considered Department of Education Division of Batangas province program, "The Utilization of Oral and Written Numeracy Assessment Tools and e-Games for Diverse K to 12 Learners" as one of the best strategies to improve their performance in Math.

METHODS

Participants in this study were comprised of 153 Grade V pupils of Lobo ES, SY 2018-2019. This study made use of one-shot experimental method. It looked into the effectiveness of "Game-Based Assessment (GBA) in improving pupils' performance in Math. There are tests done before any data are collected to see if there are any person confounds or if any participants have certain tendencies. Actual experiment is done with post test results recorded.

RESULTS

Grade 5 of Lobo ES has difficulty in comprehending Mathematical concepts. The result of the pretest revealed the mean percentage score (MPS) of 23.43%. The MPS of post-test over pretest increased by 50.98%. The increase indicated great difference between the pretest and posttest because creative, exciting, and varied activities.

DISCUSSIONS

The study proves that GBA enhanced mastery learning in Mathematical skills of Grade V pupils based on the pretest and posttest. GBA motivated and sustained pupils' interest. It could also be one of the effective evaluation tools used in teaching Math. Further, teachers should be encouraged to use GBA to enhance pupils' performance.
