| Summary: | This study aims to determine whether playing Arithmatopia, a MOBA game that
applies gamification of the number bonds as one of the basic mathematics learning
method, can improve the fluency of basic math calculations, especially single digit
numbers. This game also implements the Teams-Games-Tournaments learning
method as the foundation for the competitive and cooperative learning components.
The researcher used a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test to
measure the level of fluency of the students in completing the one-digit number
addition exercises. We test two groups of first graders of primary school. One group
plays the Arithmatopia game and the other group does not. Both groups were taught
by the same math teacher. At the end of the study, we found that the two groups
showed significant differences between the pre-test and post-test. Statistically using
the one-way ANOVA test, the group that played Arithmatopia had a higher average
score improvement than the other groups that didn't play |
