Digital Game-Based Learning Activities In Primary Grade Mathematics Achievement, Chris Anderson
Digital Game-Based Learning Activities In Primary Grade Mathematics Achievement, Chris Anderson
Graduate Teacher Education
The research paper has gathered and analyzed research from online databases to find how digital game-based learning activities were used in mathematics and how it influences the affective domains of academic engagement, motivation, and academic self-perception. The paper aims to inform primary educators of the benefits and limitations of digital game-based activities in primary mathematics. Digital game-based learning has positively influenced students' academic engagement through interaction, play, and effort, which had a positive effect on their mathematical achievement. Increased motivation felt by students when doing digital game-based activities resulted in higher mathematical achievement and an increase in learning more mathematics …
Game-Based Learning In Elementary Mathematics, Sophia Greenfield
Game-Based Learning In Elementary Mathematics, Sophia Greenfield
Graduate Teacher Education
This paper analyzed 15 primary, peer-reviewed research articles about how to integrate game-based learning in elementary mathematics to increase conceptual understanding. The purpose of this paper was to inform teachers about how to integrate digital and traditional games, including factors to enhance effective implementation, in a way that increased conceptual understanding. Key factors were gleaned from the articles that had a significant impact on the effectiveness of game-based learning. In Chapter Two, traditional and digital games were divided into two sections to analyze the benefits and drawbacks of each method. These benefits and drawbacks were compared in the Appendices to …
Effective Differentiation Utilizing Technology In The Elementary Mathematics Classroom, Sara Wiertzema
Effective Differentiation Utilizing Technology In The Elementary Mathematics Classroom, Sara Wiertzema
Graduate Teacher Education
The achievement gap between high-achieving and low-performing students has long been documented in the United States. Little, if any, efforts have proven effective in narrowing this gap. The goal of this research analysis was to identify whether technology can be used to effectively differentiate math content for students and increase achievement, thereby closing the achievement gap in American schools. The results of the studies investigated were clear that technology can be an effective method for math differentiation and can help lower-performing students accelerate their learning, in some cases even surpassing their higher-achieving peers. Technology, when used correctly to differentiate in …
Ways Technology Impact Cognitive Development In Early Childhood Environment, Katlyn Janssen
Ways Technology Impact Cognitive Development In Early Childhood Environment, Katlyn Janssen
Graduate Teacher Education
Dramatic changes have occurred with technology in education worldwide (Sullivan and Bers, 2016). Technology can offer new and exciting ways to get children excited about learning. The types of technology that can be used in a classroom are endless. Research has investigated a wide range of technology in classrooms, from smartboards, to robots, iPads, and tablets to magic educational toys and from computers to apps. The purpose of this capstone project was to evaluate current research to understand what technologies (interventions) can impact cognitive development in preschoolers. Knowing in what ways technology can impact cognitive development in early childhood education …
