Effectiveness of Game-Based Approach in Teaching Problem Solving among Grade 3 Pupils.

The experimental research design was used in this study. The findings of this study revealed that using a game-based teaching approach is better than using a traditional teaching approach in improving the performance of the respondents, as demonstrated by higher post-test scores. The game-based approach led to a significant increase in the performance of the respondents. On the other hand, employing a traditional teaching approach demonstrated no significant difference between the post-test scores and the pre-test scores of the respondents. Further, the study also conducted an independent-sample T-test to compare the mean scores of two groups of respondents: one group taught using a game-based approach and the other using a traditional approach. Using an independent-sample T-test, the study further revealed that the mean score of the respondents taught using a game-based approach is significantly higher than the mean score of the respondents taught using a traditional approach. These findings indicate that using a game-based teaching approach is better than a traditional teaching approach to enhance the learning outcomes of the students. Future researchers should conduct longitudinal studies and comparative assessment to assess the effectiveness of game-based approach as a learning intervention across different subject areas and grade levels.
