COMPARING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GAMIFIED REVIEW AND TRADITIONAL REVIEW FOR FORMATIVE QUIZZES AMONG GRADE 11 LEARNERS

Abstract

Some students prefer the traditional method of reviewing before a quiz, while others favor the gamified approach. However, the effectiveness and preferences of students regarding the traditional versus gamified methods of review remain unclear. This study involved selecting a total of 72 Grade 11 students from various strands and sections. The students were randomly divided into two groups: the Traditional Review group with 35 respondents and the Gamified Review group with 37 respondents. The survey questionnaires were validated by experts before data collection took place. Formative quiz results were used to assess the students' scores, and perception questionnaires were also administered. The study employed a convenience sampling technique and used an experimental approach to compare the effectiveness of the two review methods. Data for this study were gathered from both respondents and secondary sources, including articles and research papers. The results showed that students preferred the Traditional Review method, with a mean score of 7.82, compared to the Gamified Review method, which had a mean score of 5.58. Additionally, students found the Traditional Review more helpful, with a mean of 2.66, compared to 2.58 for the Gamified Review. Students who participated in the Traditional Review scored higher on formative quizzes, with an F-value of 7.56, which was greater than the Gamified Review’s F-value, surpassing the critical value of 1.97. These findings indicate that Traditional Review sessions were more effective and preferred by Grade 11 students at Immaculada Concepcion College compared to Gamified Review sessions. This supports the hypothesis that there is a relationship between the review method and quiz performance. However, some limitations were present, including the sample size used in this study. Future research is recommended to explore additional factors that may affect the effectiveness of the review methods and to use larger sample sizes for more generalized results.
