Abstract

This study examines the challenge of limited engagement and conceptual understanding among school children in introductory programming education. To address this, the research evaluates the impact of game development-based learning using the slider game module. The objective is to assess how developing a simple game can support programming skill acquisition and enhance learner engagement. A total of 310 participants, aged 11 to 17, were selected through purposive sampling from various schools involved in programming classes. The research design included pre- and post-test assessments, demographic analysis, and Likert-scale surveys to gauge learner perceptions. Quantitative analysis was conducted using paired sample t-tests and descriptive statistics. The results show improvements in learners’ coding abilities and increased confidence and motivation across all age groups. The findings highlight the effectiveness of game development-based learning as a pedagogical approach for teaching programming in an engaging and impactful way.
