The Development of Learning Activities using Gamification in Mathematics on the Topic of Exponents to Enhance Learning Achievement of Grade 7 Students.

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The purposes of this research were: 1) to develop learning activities using Gamification on the topic of Exponents for Grade 7 students to meet the efficiency criteria of 75/75, 2) to compare students' mathematics achievement on Exponents before and after learning through Gamification activities, and 3) to study students' satisfaction toward the learning activities using Gamification. The sample group consisted of 29 Grade 7/2 students at Senangkhanikom School during the first semester of the academic year 2025, selected via purposive sampling. The research instruments included 12 lesson plans, a 20-item multiple-choice achievement test (4 choices), and a 14-item satisfaction survey. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean (), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test for Dependent Samples.

The research results 1) The efficiency of the learning activities using Gamification on Exponents for Grade 7 students was 76.05/76.90, which was higher than the set criteria of 75/75. 2) The mathematics achievement on Exponents of students treated with Gamification activities was significantly higher after learning than before learning at the .05 level. And 3) The students' satisfaction toward the learning activities using Gamification on Exponents was at a high level (= 4.24, S.D. = 0.73).
