The effect of high scope learning experiences with Educational games on basic mathematics skills of early childhood

Abstract

           The objectives of this research were 1) to study the efficiency of High Scope learning experiences using educational games to the standard 80/80 criterion. 2) to study the Effectiveness Index of High Scope learning experiences using educational games of Early Childhood 3) to compare the Basic Mathematics Skills after learning experiences based on High Scope to the 80 % criterion. 4) to compare the Basic Mathematics Skills between before and after learning experiences and 5) to study the satisfaction towards on High Scope learning experiences with educational games of Early Childhood. The research design used one group pretest–posttest design. The sample group is Early Childhood level 2 from Ban Huai Jod Khok Sa-at Community School, 18 students from semester 1 academic year 2025, were drawn from cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) Lesson plans based on High Scope learning experiences with educational games. 2) the Basic Mathematics Skills tests had discrimination values between 0.32-0.78, difficulty value between 0.47-0.83, and reliability value was 0.80 3) 20 educational games. 4) the satisfaction questionnaire towards learning experience based on High Scope Learning Experiences with Educational Games of Early Childhood. The statistics for data analysis comprised: mean, standard deviation, percentage, E₁/E₂, E.I. one sample t – test and dependent t – test.

            Research Findings:

            1. The efficiency of the High/Scope learning experience management using educational games was E1/E2 = 88.82/92.50.

            2. The effectiveness index of the High/Scope learning experience management using educational games for early childhood students was 0.8732.

            3. The basic mathematical skills of early childhood students who received the High/Scope learning experience management using educational games were significantly higher than the 80% criterion at a statistical significance level of .05.

            4. The basic mathematical skills of early childhood students who received the High/Scope learning experience management using educational games were significantly higher after learning than before learning at a statistical significance level of .05.

             5. Early childhood students' satisfaction with the High/Scope learning experience management using educational games was rated at a high level.
