Background/purpose: This research aimed at designing an educational program based on gamification for teaching mathematics as required by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) to determine its impact on advancing strategic competence among fourth-grade male students in the first semester of Academic Year 1445AH in…

Background: Performance with fractions has been a weak point in U.S. education for decades and has not improved in recent years (Siegler, 2017). High School math teachers frequently rate their students' knowledge of fractions as "poor" and see this lack of foundational knowledge as one of the top barriers to students mastering algebra…

Recently, virtual reality seems to be deevloping rapidly. However, it can be said that virtual reality is in the early days of adoption for education. Studies show that using virtual reality in education can positively affect students' learning experiences. In this study, the effect of an educational virtual reality game, named "Kesfet…

In recent years there has been a renewal of educational software encouraged by the incorporation of specific designs based on serious games. Previous studies on their use do not provide conclusive data on the advancement in learning, both at a general level and in specific contents. The main objective of this work is to study the impact of the use…

Explore Learning contracted with LearnPlatform, a third-party edtech research company, to examine the relationship between student usage of Frax and math learning outcomes. Frax is a game-based, adaptive technology designed using the latest research on effective fractions instruction to support all learners in meeting early standards for fractions…

Remote learning has reduced the mathematical performance of students. Mathematical reasoning is the critical skill that enables students to make use of all other mathematical skills. The aim of the present study was (1) to develop the mathematical reasoning skills of underachieving students and (2) to explore the application options, benefits and…

The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to garner knowledge on how teachers perceive the effects of gamification on students' academic performance on mathematics standardized examination. Gamification is a developing pedagogy with limited studies exploring its effectiveness in the discipline of mathematics. The 2 research…
