A Study on Mathematics Learning Achievement on Multiplication and Division of Exponents Using Game-Based Learning (GBL) Combined with a Skill Practice Set Among Grade 7 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) examine the mathematics learning achievement on the topic of multiplication and division of exponents using game-based learning (GBL) combined with a skill practice set among Grade 7 students, compared against the 75% benchmark, and  2) compare the students’ mathematics learning achievement before and after instruction using game-based learning (GBL) combined with a skill practice set. The sample consisted of 33 Grade 7 students from Nawaminthrachinuthit Isan School. The research instruments included: 1) six lesson plans, 2) a skill practice set, and 3) a learning achievement test. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that: 1) the students’ learning achievement on the topic of multiplication and division of exponents met the 75% benchmark with statistical significance at the .05 level, and 2) the students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level.
