Abstract

This study investigated the effects of play-based learning on teacher satisfaction, stress levels, and collaborative learning among primary education learners. Employing a descriptive survey design, the study sampled 200 early childhood education practitioners in Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a validated instrument—the "Questionnaire on Play-Based Learning, Teacher Satisfaction, Stress, and Student Collaboration in the Classroom" (QPBLTSSSC), with a reliability coefficient of .81. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze responses related to play-based learning's impact on teachers' job satisfaction, stress reduction, collaborative learning, and child development. The findings revealed that play-based learning significantly enhanced teacher satisfaction and reduced stress by promoting enjoyment, fulfilment, and a relaxed teaching atmosphere. It also fostered collaborative learning by improving teamwork, peer interaction, and inclusive learning environments. Moreover, play-based pedagogy significantly contributed to children's cognitive, language, problem-solving, motor, and socio-emotional development. These outcomes underscore the critical value of integrating play-based methods into early childhood curricula. The study recommends professional development programs that emphasize both guided and free play strategies, as well as public awareness of home-based play practices and stress-reduction training for educators, to support holistic child development and teacher well-being.

Abstract

Flipped learning is an educational approach that inverts the traditional teaching pattern by giving pupils access to learning materials before class, while using classroom time to deepen their understanding. However, few studies investigate whether low-basic learners possess the readiness and digital literacy to benefit from this approach. Hence, this study examined the impact of implementing a Gamified Flipped Classroom Instructional Strategy on enhancing mathematics achievement among lower primary learners in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. Employing the pre and posttest control group in line with a quasi-experimental design, 74 learners from two private primary schools participated in the research. This study employed three validated research instruments: the Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), the Guide for Gamified Flipped Classroom Instructional Strategy (GGFCIS), and the Guide for Control Group (GCG). The MAT instrument demonstrated a reliability coefficient of 0.74 using the test-retest method. Two hypotheses were evaluated by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at a 0.05 significance level. Results indicated a significant positive effect of the gamified flipped classroom instructional strategy on learners' academic achievement in mathematics. However, no significant interaction between treatment and gender was found. The study concluded that regardless of gender, the instructional strategy improved the academic achievement of lower basic learners in mathematics. The study recommended that primary school teachers undergo training in using the gamified flipped classroom instructional Strategy for teaching mathematics to lower basic primary learners, as it promotes academic success while encouraging parental involvement in learners' learning.
