USING WORDWALLS IN GAME-BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS

Abstract

This research was carried out because students still had difficulty understanding and applying mathematical concepts to various questions which were still low, so the aim of this research was to find out whether there was an improvement before and after treatment, as well as the effect of using wordwall. in game-based learning to improve the ability to understand mathematical concepts in social arithmetic learning. This research approach is a quantitative approach. This type of research uses a pre-experimental design with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design research design. The experimental sample is class VIIA. The instruments used are questionnaires and tests. The results of the paired t test showed |=-8.651 | > =2.0395, meaning that the ability to understand mathematical concepts before and after treatment increased. Meanwhile, simple regression analysis shows that the influence of using wordwalls in game based learning on the ability to understand mathematical concepts is significant with a contribution of 32% and the remaining 68% is influenced by other factors.
