The Results of Using Teams-Games Tournament (TGT) Technique Combined with Multimedia on Multiplication Skills Development in Mathematics for Grade 4 Students

Abstract

This article aimed (1) to develop Multimedia for teaching Multiplication in Mathematics for Grade 4 students; (2) to compare students’ calculation skills before and after using the Teams-Games Tournament (TGT) technique combined with Multimedia for learning multiplication; and (3) to compare students’ academic achievement in multiplication before and after using the Teams-Games Tournament (TGT) technique combined with Multimedia. The sample group consisted of 30 Grade 4 students from Ban Thung Khai School, Yan Ta Khao District, Trang Province, during the first semester of the academic year 2024, selected through Purposive Sampling, instruments for data collection were (1) Lesson plans of the Teams-Games Tournament (TGT) Technique Combined with Multimedia to enhance Multiplication Skills in Mathematics for Grade 4 students, (2) multimedia materials on multiplication, (3) An evaluation exam on multiplication skills, and (4) an achievement test on multiplication. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings of the study revealed that: 1) The developed multiplication multimedia received a very highs quality rating (M = 4.65, SD = 0.50). 2) Students demonstrated significantly higher multiplication skills after learning through the Teams-Games Tournament (TGT) technique integrated with multimedia, with statistical significance at the .05 level. 3) Students' academic achievement in multiplication significantly improved after engaging with the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) technique integrated with multimedia, with statistical significance at the .05 level.
