Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of GAME-BASED ASSESSMENT STRATEGY in improving the performance in Mathematics of grade six pupils at David P. Jimenez Elementary School in Rosario, Cavite.

METHODS

This study used Pre-Experimental method utilizing the one-group, pretest-posttest design. The chosen participants were 30 grade six pupils of David P. Jimenez Elementary who had difficulties in Mathematics. Data were collected using a standardized 20-item test that was adapted from Learning Outcomes Assessment (LOA).

RESULTS

The findings suggest that there is significant difference on the performance of the grade six pupils after the Game-Based Assessment strategy was used as intervention.

DISCUSSIONS

Game-Based Assessment strategy was used in teaching Mathematics to apply their knowledge to a real environment; therefore, the players are learning by playing. It has a positive impact on their span, focus, and study habits.
