The impact of using the digital educational games blog on enhancing mathematical concepts among sixth-grade students in Jordan

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using the educational games blog on developing mathematical concepts among sixth-grade students in Jordan. To conduct the research experiment, the researcher followed a quasi-experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests for two experimental and control groups. The study included 50 intentionally selected students from the third grade, distributed into two groups: Group A represented the experimental group consisting of 25 students who were taught using the digital educational games blog, while Group B represented the control group consisting of 25 students taught using conventional methods. The study tool was a test for acquiring mathematical concepts, and its validity and reliability were ensured. The results showed a statistically significant impact on the acquisition of mathematical concepts test in favor of the experimental group (F = 8.13, p = 0.00, η² = 0.39), indicating that the teaching method using the digital educational games blog was more effective than traditional methods, which was attributed to the teaching method using the educational digital game. Based on the results, by integrating these games into the curriculum, students can be motivated to learn innovatively, improving their academic performance. The study recommends using digital educational games in the educational learning process, especially in mathematics, due to their clear positive impact on acquiring and understanding mathematical concepts among sixth-grade students.
