In this paper, the authors present an investigative process which can be used to enhance the design of mathematics learning games. Several techniques such as mathematics pedagogy and game design lenses [12] were studied in the development of this investigative process. Game design lenses are tools developed for examining game designs. The game design lenses were analyzed and mapped to several mathematics-specific...
This paper examines the use of games for learning algebra. It reflects on the experiences gained from a mobile learning game-based study for learning algebra, results from a survey on game use conducted with students in Trinidad and Tobago and recommendations by other researchers in the field. It presents a set of principles which emerged from these experiences for creating successful learning games...
A recent research study was conducted to determine if mobile learning can assist high school students to improve their performance in mathematics. This paper describes the background of the study, the mobile learning application developed, and the evaluation studies which were conducted. However, its main focus is on the challenges and lessons learned from the mobile learning study. Since the study...
This paper describes a research study which was conducted to determine the effect of traditional classroom teaching augmented by mobile learning on student performance. The study was undertaken in an effort to address the extremely low pass rates of mathematics in the Caribbean. Two groups of students were investigated: a control group which received only classroom teaching and an experimental group...
Many students find mathematics a difficult subject. In the context of Caribbean countries, the failure rate in mathematics has been very high. This paper discusses the creation of a personalized game-based mobile learning application to assist secondary school students in improving their mathematical skills. The aim of this application is to motivate and encourage students to practise mathematics...
