| Summary: | Home accidents in children less than 6 years of age mostly occurred due to the negligence of parents or the
victims themselves. This study is aimed at educating pre-schoolers on dangerous tools that could be found at home to
enable them to identify such items. It is imperative as it could lead to injuries or even worse death if no preventive actions
are taken. These interactive learning tools are developed based on constructivism theory, Constructive Alignment
Model dan ASSURE Model. Learning Domestic Safety topic in digital Game-Based Learning format for pre-schoolers is
constructed using Microsoft PowerPoint Office 2019 software. A combination of Wordwall, quizzes, and digital games are
developed and arranged as learning activities. This device emphasizes exciting game-based learning including interactive
games such as hidden objects and word wall (maze game and select dangerous items). Such activities could indirectly allow
children to learn, identify and avoid dangerous objects which could be found around them in their daily life and at the same
time increase their knowledge on domestic safety protection. The children’s cognitive domain and skills are evaluated using
word wall (Game Show Quiz and rearrange letters). Mixed-method (combination of qualitative and quantitative) is applied
in this study. The study samples comprise 10 academicians who are also expert evaluators from the Institute of Teacher
Education Darulaman Campus (IPDA), Sultan Idris Education University, Tanjung Malim, and primary schools in Jitra.
Feedbacks from the experts on design and the Digital Game-Based Learning application curriculum are gathered and
analyzed to determine the suitability of the developed device. Findings showed that the experts evaluated the application
at a moderate range while the reliability score is 0.725 |
