Abstract

The study investigates students’ attitudes towards gamification-based teaching in mathematics in basic schools in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive design of the survey type. The population for this study were all junior secondary students in Kwara State. The target population for this study was all junior secondary students. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 64 students. To ensure the validity of the instrument, a pilot study was carried out in a non-participating school outside the scope of the study and a value coefficient of .77 was obtained using Cronbach alpha. The findings of the study revealed that students in junior secondary schools had a positive attitude towards gamification-based teaching and there is no significant difference in the male and female students’ attitude towards gamification-based teaching in mathematics. The study concluded that attitudes toward gamification-based teaching had a significant impact on students' outcomes. It was therefore recommended among others that All teachers in junior secondary schools should adopt the usage of gamification-based teaching in the teaching and learning of mathematics as it can produce positive results in teaching effectiveness and student performance.

Abstract

This study focused on the pre-service teachers’ awareness and attitude towards the use of Open Educational Resources for learning in Kano State, Nigeria. The research adopted a descriptive research design. A total of 315 pre-service teachers from two colleges of education out of four colleges in the state were purposively selected and these colleges of education are Federal College of Education, Kano and Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso. The reliability results were 0.77 for Awareness and 0.79 for Attitude, Mean and simple percentages were used to analyse the research questions, while the hypotheses were tested using a t-test at 0.05 significant level. The findings revealed among others those pre-service teachers had a good awareness of the existence of OER and their attitude towards the use of OER for learning was positive. Also, there was no significant difference between the male and female pre-service teachers in their awareness and attitude towards the use of OER for learning in the sampled colleges of education-based gender. The study concluded among others that the awareness and positive attitude of pre-service teachers could affect the use of OER. The study recommended among others that federal, and State governments and colleges’ management should encourage pre-service teachers to adopt OER more in their learning and other academic activities.

Abstract

Gamification is a cutting-edge pedagogical approach to addressing student social behaviour, motivation, and academic performance in the classroom, particularly in subjects that are perceived to be difficult such as mathematics where there was a perceived failure. Hence, this study investigated the effect of gamification-based teaching on junior secondary school student’s academic performance in mathematics in Kwara State. The study adopted a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest, non-equivalent group design. The population was all junior secondary students in Kwara State while the target population were all junior secondary students in J.S.S. 2 in Kwara-North Senatorial district. A purposive sampling technique was used to select two junior secondary schools based on the availability of computer laboratories. A total of 122 students (experimental group 64; control group 58) were involved. Three instruments were used for data collection. Split-half was used to test the reliability of the instruments and coefficients of .89 were obtained Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that; gamification-based teaching had a significant effect on the experimental group (F (1,54) = 1.826; p< 0.05) and female students in the experimental group significantly performed better than male students after the treatment. This study concluded that the use of gamification-based teaching in mathematics enhanced teaching-learning effectiveness in mathematics. The study, therefore, recommended among others, that mathematics teachers should use gamification in teaching mathematics to reduce the level of abstractness associated with teaching-learning of mathematics.
