Digital Integration in Preschool Math: Assessing the Efficacy of a Structured Curriculum in Classroom Settings
International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, v20 n4 Article em0845 2025
This study examined the impact of Collins Educative Solutions' mathematics curriculum, integrated with technological tools such as PhET simulations, on the mathematical skills of preschoolers in Jordan. The sample comprised 60 preschoolers from Irbid, Jordan, who were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group was taught using the Collins Curriculum alongside animated digital manuals, while the control group received instruction through traditional teaching methods. The primary goal of the intervention was to foster the experimental group's logical reasoning and critical analytical thinking by incorporating visual aids with structured curriculum content. Post-test results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group across all assessed mathematical domains (p [less than or equal to] 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the enriched instructional approach. Further analysis by gender revealed no statistically significant differences (p [greater than or equal to] 0.05), suggesting that the Collins Curriculum supports equitable learning outcomes for both boys and girls. These findings underscore the value of integrating technology-enhanced curricula in early childhood education to strengthen foundational math skills. The findings also highlight the importance of providing targeted professional development to equip educators with effective strategies for implementing technology-based instruction. Overall, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of innovative teaching approaches preschoolers' mathematics achievement.
