Project EMME: An Innovation Upholding Learners Numeracy and Competency among Grade Three Pupils of Paaralang Elementarya ng Loob

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, the digital-based learning approach is widely used as an effective method in stimulating pupils' learning motivation. By simply using the Electronic Games (E games), learners can better enhance the learning performance of 21st Century Learners. The researchers decided to determine the level of performance pupils in solving basic mathematical operations to determine the development beyond the mastery of learners by launching Project EMME (Enhancing Mastery of Multiplication through E-Games) as the learning approach of the teacher and to determine if E-Games works on pupils' mastery and proficiency in the basic multiplication facts and concepts.

METHODS

The researchers employed a pre-experimental method of research and administered the pre-test and post-test evaluation. In finding the result, they used the descriptive method with the questionnaire as the primary data gathering method. The researchers used self-made electronic-games to be used by the teacher as her instructional aid in order to boost the interest of the pupils in enhancing their skills and learn mathematics in a positive way.

RESULTS

The findings imply that E-Games is an effective instructional technique for increasing and enhancing the fluency and proficiency of pupils especially those pupils who demonstrate mathematics difficulties in terms of multiplication facts and concepts wherein the study shows that the level of performance of the pupils in solving basic multiplication facts. With this, the researchers conveyed the difference of the results when they used the E-Games technique in instruction that shows a positive result beyond the study. There is also a significant difference between the result of the pre-test and post-test of the respondents. This means that using E-games as a strategy in teaching Multiplication to pupils would help them develop mastery in the Basic Multiplication Facts.

DISCUSSIONS

The research revealed the effectiveness of Project EMME as the strategy in teaching the concept of multiplication helps in increasing the pupil's ability in mastering multiplication facts. It also further enhanced the learners' enthusiasm and interest in learning basic multiplication facts.
