Comparison of Learning Achievement by Using Game Application with Normal Learning Program for Prathom Suksa One Students

Abstract

In this thesis, the researcher compares the learning achievement using a game application and a traditional learning program of Prathom Sueksa One students. The sample population consisted of Prathom Sueksa One students at Srinakharinwirot University Prasarnmit Demonstration School (Elementary) in the second semester of the academic year 2020 from two classrooms of thirty students each. The researcher compares 1) the learning achievement before to and after the study using the traditional learning program, compares 2) the learning achievement before to and after the study with the game application, and compares 3) the learning achievement between teaching with the traditional learning program and teaching with the game application. The research instruments consisted of (1) a game application, (2) a media quality evaluation form, and (3) a learning achievement test. The statistics used in data analysis were mean (M), standard deviation (SD), and t test.

Findings are as follows: 1) The learning achievement of the control group using the traditional learning program exhibited the scores after the study at a higher level than before, at the statistically significant level of .05. 2) The learning achievement of the experimental group using the game application exhibited the scores after the study at a higher level than before, at the statistically significant level of .05. 3) The learning achievement of the experimental group using the game application and the control group using the traditional learning program exhibited the scores of learning with the game application at a higher level than the study with the traditional learning program at the statistically significant level of .05.
