THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOGIC-BASED SIMULATION DIGITAL GAME TO ENHANCE PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY OF GRADE 10 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) develop a digital game using logic-based simulation scenarios to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities, and (2) examine students’ problem-solving abilities before and after learning through the developed digital game. The sample group consisted of 36 Grade 10 students from the Mathematics–Science Program at Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School in the 2025 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: (1) a digital game using logic-based simulation scenarios to promote problem-solving skills, and (2) a problem-solving ability assessment. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. the research findings revealed that: (1) the developed digital game using logic-based simulation scenarios was evaluated as having the highest level of overall quality, and (2) students’ problem-solving abilities based on logical reasoning after using the digital game were significantly higher than before using it, at the .01 level of significance. Therefore, it can be concluded that integrating digital games into learning management as an approach suitable for 21st-century education is an effective alternative to increase students’ learning engagement and enhance their problem-solving skills.
