EFFECTS OF GAME-BASED LEARNING ON DEVELOPING PROVERB AND APHORISM SKILLS AMONG SIXTHGRADE STUDENTS AT BAN NONGYAPLONG SCHOOL

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) design a learning management for proverbs and aphorisms using Game-Based Learning (GBL), and 2) evaluate the academic achievement of this GBL approach for sixth-grade students at Ban Nongyaplong School. The  target group consisted of 43 sixth-grade students. The research tools included 1) a pre-test, 2) a post-test, 3) a lesson plan, and 4) an evaluation form for the lesson plan. Statistical methods used were mean, standard deviation, validity, discrimination power, difficulty level, and reliability. Findings revealed that 1) the GBL-based lesson plan for proverbs and aphorisms received a high suitability rating from experts (= 4.57), and 2) the post-test scores exceeded pre-test scores with a statistical significance level of .05.
