Abstract

This was a quasi-experimental research study with an objective to develop and study the effects of a set parent-assisted math games for encouraging basic mathematical skills of early childhood children who are at risk of mathematics learning disability. The sample consisted of preschool children who are at risk of mathematics learning disability aged between 5-6 years old studying in kindergarten 2 at Nakhon Phanom Kindergarten school and parents of these children participating in the research. The sample group was selected by purposive sampling 20 children divided into the experimental group and the control group 10 each. The research instruments consisted of 1) a set of parent-assisted math games and 2) a screening form to assess the risk of learning disability in mathematics. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with mean, standard deviation, minimum-maximum and t-test statistics. The results found that 1) A set of parent-assisted math games developed by the researcher showed the index of conformity (IOC) was 0.84 and the results of the expert opinion agreement analysis found that the overall average was 3.94 and the standard deviation was 0.45 at a high appropriate level. 2) After applying a set of parent-assisted math games math skills in early childhood children who are at risk of mathematics learning disability can be promoted, statistically significant level .05
