The Effectiveness of Using the Play-based Learning Program (Kahoot) in Developing Achievement and Motivation Towards Learning Among Third-Grade Students in the Kingdom of Bahrain

Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of using the Kahoot program in developing achievement and motivation towards learning among third grade students in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study sample consisted of )50( students distributed equally among both the experimental and control groups. The results of the study showed that there was a statistically signifcant difference at )α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the members of the experimental group in the pre and post-applications on the achievement test for the beneft of the post application. The study also showed that there was a statistically signifcant difference at (α ≤0.05) between the mean scores of the members of the experimental group and the control group in favor of the experimental group in developing achievement. What is more, there was a statistically signifcant difference at (α ≤0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group in the post-application of the motivation measurement towards learning by using the Kahoot program and the mean hypothetical theory for the post-application. This confrms the effectiveness of the program in developing achievement and motivation towards learning.
