Application of Gamification Concept with Active Learning in Computing Science for Grade 3 Students

Abstract

       The objectives of this research aimed 1) to create and find out the quality of the learning activities plan by applying Gamification with active learning in the subject of computational science for grade 3 students, 2) to study learners' achievement between pre-learning and post-learning with applying Gamification with active learning in the subject of computational science for grade 3 students, and 3) to study students' acceptance of learning activity plans by applying gamification with active learning. for grade 3 students. The target group includes 35 grade 3 students at Ban Rai Pattana School. Tools used include learning activity plans by applying Gamification with active learning in the subject of computational science, the measurement form of learner achievementand questionnaires on students' opinions on learning activity plans by applying Gamification with active learning.

            The results showed that 1) the results of creating and finding out the quality of the learning activity plan by applying Gamification with active learning, it was found that components of the creation process of learning activity plan by applying Gamification with active learning comprised of 3 parts; input, process, and output. Experts' opinions on Gamification suitability were at a high level. There are 5 learning units with the quality assessment from experts at the highest level, 2) studying learners' achievements between pre-school and post-school by applying Gamification with active learning, it was found that students' post-learning average scores were higher than pre-learning average scores with the statistical significance level of .05, and 3) the results of the study of student's opinions on the learning activity plan with the application of Gamification with active learning, the overall level was high.
