Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare the academic achievement of Grade 4 students in logical reasoning problem solving using game-based learning and 2) To investigate the satisfaction of Grade 4 students towards game-based learning in logical reasoning problem solving, the sample of this research comprised 28 Grade 4 students from Wat Yang (Meemanawitthaya) School, located in Ban Khlong Subdistrict, Mueang Phitsanulok District, Phitsanulok Province, under the administration of Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, during the second semester of the academic year 2023. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample, the research tools used include 1) Learning management plans using game-based learning, with a total of 3 plans 2) A pre-test and post-test on logical reasoning problem solving, consisting of 20 multiple-choice and short-answer questions and 3) A student satisfaction survey. The statistical analysis utilized in data interpretation includes the mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.), and T-test. The research findings reveal that post-learning academic efficiency through game-based learning management, specifically in the use of logical reasoning in problem-solving, is significantly higher than pre-learning levels at a statistical significance level of .05. Additionally, students express the highest level of satisfaction with learning through game-based learning management, particularly in the use of logical reasoning in problem-solving.
