The Impact of Using the LEGO Education Program on Mathematics Achievement of Different Levels of Elementary Students
Altakhayneh, Bahjat
European Journal of Educational Research, v9 n2 p603-610 2020
This study aims to investigate the impact of using a LEGO Education program, specifically the "MoreToMath" kit, on the achievement of Different Levels of Elementary Students. The quantitative research design was used in this research study, and the participants were comprised of 120 elementary school students in the 2nd grade, in Amman, Jordan. A quasi-experimental research method and the MANCOVA were used, and a study tool to measure achievement was developed by the researcher for which the validity and reliability of achievement were verified. The results of the study show that there was a statistically significant improvement ([alpha] [less than or equal to] 0.05) in the achievement of the experimental study group, that studied using LEGO education, over the control group. There is also a statistically significant difference ([alpha] [less than or equal to] 0.05) between the arithmetic means of the three sub-groups of students' previous achievement levels--high, middle, and low--and by using the Least Significant Differences (LSD) test we notice that there are significant differences between the high and low sub-groups, as well as between the middle and low. However, that there are no significant differences between the high and middle level sub-groups; and there is also no statistically significant interaction between the groups (experimental, control) and the levels of pre-achievement seen in the post-achievement levels. The study results indicate that the use of new technological tools, like the "MoreToMath" kit, may be beneficial in teaching mathematics as they tend to motivate students, and can lead to higher achievement for elementary students of different mathematics aptitude levels.
