Development of Mathematics Learning Achievement on Learning Unit of Linear Equations of One Variable for Mathayomsukka 1 Students through Problem-based Learning together with Gamification Techniques

Abstract

The objectives of this research article were 1) to compare mathematics learning achievement before studying and after studying on learning unit of linear equations of one variable by organizing problem-based learning together with Gamification techniques; 2) to develop learning achievement after studying with a criterion of 60% by organizing problem-based learning together with Gamification techniques; and 3) to study satisfaction levels of Mathayomsuksa 1 students by organizing problem-based learning together with Gamification techniques. It was an experimental research with a single sample group by pre-study and post-study testing, One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample group consisted of 28 Mathayomsuksa 1/1 students, semester 2, academic Year 2022 at Plookpanya School, Mueang District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The research instrument was 1) problem-based learning management plan together with Gamification techniques, 2) mathematics learning achievement test, 3) satisfaction assessment form. Data were analyzed by using mean, percentage, standard deviation and test the hypothesis using t-test for Dependent and t-test for One Sample. The results of the research found that 1) mathematics learning achievement before studying had a mean of 14.86 and learning achievement after studying had a mean of 21.64 out of a full score of 30 points. It was found that learning achievement after studying was significantly higher than before studying, statistically at the .05 level; 2) development of mathematics learning achievement after studying learning unit of linear equations of one variable had an average of 21.64 points out of a total of 30 points, accounting for 72.14%. When comparing among the criteria of 60%, it was found that learning achievement after studying was significantly higher than the criteria at the .05 level; and 3) students were satisfied with problem-based learning together with Gamification techniques at a high level.
