The Learning Experiences by using Educational Game Activity Sets to Prepare Math Readiness for Kindergarten Children, 2nd Year.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were 1) to develop learning experiences by using educational game activity sets with efficiency according to the criteria 80/80 2) to compare the mathematical readiness of 2nd kindergarten children before and after the learning experiences by using educational game activity sets and 3) to study the effectiveness index of experiences organizing learning by using educational game activity sets. The sample group used in the study was kindergarten children, year 2/1, Municipal School 3 (Wimukdeo Nittaya), Su-ngai Kolok district. Narathiwat Province, the first semester of the academic year 2017, number 33, which was obtained by clustering random sampling. The tools used in the study were 1) educational game activity sets, 5 sets, 2) 30 experiences plans, and 4) math preparedness tests before and after 5 sets. Data were analyzed using percentage. Mean, standard deviationEfficiencyEffectiveness indexand analysisof different scores beforeand afterusing t-test (Dependent Samples).

The study indicated that

1. The learning experiences using educational game activity sets with the efficiency of 82.28 /82.30 which meets the set criteria (80/80).

2. Mathematics readiness of preschool children, kindergarten 2 years after the learning expe- riences using educational game activity sets higher than before learning experiences with statistical significance at the level of .01.

3. The effectiveness index of learning experiences management by using the educational game activity sets were0.6413, indicating that from learningexperiences management byusingeducational game activity sets There was an increase in mathematical readiness of 0.6413 or 64.13 percent.
