Thai Thai The Using of Game for Developing Analyzation Skill in Computing Science about Internet Safety for Grade 5 Students in Watyang School (Meemanawittaya)

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to compare the analytical thinking skills of five grade students after instruction with Game-based learning and the 70 percent criterion 2) to compare learning achievement on the topic of internet safety of five grade students before and after instruction with Game-based learning and 3) to study the satisfaction of students about using Game-based learning. The experimental research were implemented. One-Group Pretest-Posttest Designs was implemented. The participants were 18 five grade students in the second semester of academic year 2022 at Watyang (Meemanawittaya) School. The research instruments were 1) a learning management plan for using the Game-based learning method 2) analytical skills measurement test 3) an achievement test and 4) satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed by the percentage (%), mean (x), standard deviation (S.D.), t-test dependent and one sample t-test

The results of this research were as follow

1) The analytical thinking skills of five grade students post-learning by using Game-based learning was statistically higher than the 70 percent criterion.

2) The post-learning achievement on the topic of internet safety of five grade students by using Game-based learning was higher than pre-learning achievement at .05 level of significance.

3) the satisfaction of the students towards the instruction by Game-based learning as a whole were at highest agreement level, the students opinions were at a high agreement level towards the learning environments aspect, learning activities aspect and the usefulness aspect respectively.
