The Provision of the Learning Experience through Educational Games for the Mathematical Skills Development with Numbers of Kindergarten Students Year 1 Taksinrachanuson School

Abstract

                The purposes of the research seemed to   1) develop the basic mathematical   skills   with  numbers  based on  the  provision  of  the      learning experience through  educational  games ,  2)  investigate  the learning achievement of young children based on the provision of the learning experience through  educational  games to develop  the basic mathematical skills with numbers, and 3) explore the efficiency in the provision of  the learning experience  through educational   games  to develop the basic mathematical skills with numbers.   The samples  of      the research were  20 young children or students  who were  studying          in Kindergarten  Classroom  1/1   at Taksinrachanusorn  School in the     second  semester  of  the   academic  year   2018/2019 .   The  research instruments were    1)  the provision plans of the learning experience through educational games  by matching numbers  ,      2)   the sets of number matching game ,  and   3)  the tests of the basic mathematical      skills with numbers both before  and  after provisions of the learning experience through educational games. The collected data was analyzed  by  percentages  and  arithmetic means.  The findings of the research indicated that ;  in terms of 1) the basic mathematical skills development with numbers based on the provision  of  the   learning   experience through educational games of young children or students, it was found that there were 15 students to pass the exam with the scores at least 70% (75%), and 5 students to fail the exam (25%). In addition, 2) young children obtained  the  scores  before  the provision  of  the learning experience through educational games with the arithmetic mean of  5.90 ,  and the arithmetic mean after the provision of the learning experience through educational games seemed to be 7.85 with increasing progress scores of 1.95 (19.50%). In terms of 3) the efficiency in the provision of the learning experience through educational games to develop the basic mathematical skills with numbers, according to the standard criterion of 70/70; it can be said that it was met at the level of 78.5/75.
