Summary: | ABSTRACT
Gamification in mathematics is an interactive pedagogy that can be used to increase students’
interests. In learning mathematical concepts like trigonometric topics, more interactive
activities and engagement platforms are proposed to help the students’ understanding. An
online game called Trigo-Tricks (TT) was created so that students could play it and concurrently
work through the games’ questions. The aim of this study is to examine the students’ interest
in learning trigonometric topics which are found to be difficult for them to understand using
Trigo-Tricks (TT). This Trigo-Tricks (TT) is designed using the Buildbox platform and it is
integrated with trigonometric concepts. A sample of 45 sciences students in the Centre for
Foundation Studies, International Islamic University Malaysia (CFS IIUM) will be selected for
this study using purposive sampling technique. Overall, the findings support that gamification
in mathematics gives a better learning environment and is suitable to be used as educational
tools. Students are more likely to explore new learning methods for understanding subject
matter compared to traditional methods. For commercialization, this game can be introduced
and utilized by all institutions that offer pre-university programme. The game is practical, and
it is easy to be accessed by students. As a conclusion, Trigo-Tricks (TT) provides an advantage
for students such as increasing the students’ interest and understanding in learning
Mathematics. |
