The Effects of using gamification instruction for enhancing Student’s achievement in mathematicson of 10 grade students

Abstract

This research Article aimed to investigate the mathematics learning achievement on the topic of probability among Grade 10 students through a gamification-based instructional approach, and to examine their satisfaction with this learning method. The sample consisted of 30 Grade 10 students from one classroom at Kanchanapisek Wittayalai Chachoengsao School, located in Koh Khanun Sub-district, Phanom Sarakham District, Chachoengsao Province, during the first semester of the 2025 academic year. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling from two available classrooms.

The research instruments included: (1) gamification-based lesson plans on the topic of probability, (2) a learning achievement test on probability, and (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire regarding the gamification-based instruction. The findings revealed that the students achieved an average score of 15.77 out of a possible total, equivalent to 78.83%, with a standard deviation of 1.63. This indicates that the students' achievement significantly exceeded the 70% criterion at the .05 level of significance. Moreover, the students' satisfaction with the gamification-based learning approach was at the highest level, with a mean score of 4.58 and a standard deviation of 0.10.
