Abstract:
|
This study investigated whether competitive and noncompetitive educational mathematics computer games influence 4-7-year-old boys’ and girls’ mathematical learning. A mixed repeated measures within-and-between-subjects experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of type of computer games and gender on preschool children’s learning of mathematical addition. The results showed that both boys and girls demonstrated improved mathematical learning after playing either competitive and noncompetitive computer games. Preschool girls learned mathematical addition as effectively as did preschool boys. Thus, this study suggested that both competitive and noncompetitive mathematics computer games might have the potential to be used effectively in teaching preschool girls mathematics. |

| Preschool Children’s Learning 1 The Effects of Educational Computer Games on Preschool Children’s Learning: Gender Differences in Playing Competitive and Noncompetitive Mathematics Games With the increasingly popular use of computer technology in today’s society computer literacy is a desirable skill in the workplace. The use of computers consequently has become an inevitable trend in this information age. As Calvert (1999) stated “the public appears to take computers more seriously as an education medium when compared to other information technologies” |
