Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper demonstrates the adaptation of local plays into relevant instructional games for teaching number recognition. Review of related literature has revealed the fact that the teacher led instructional interactions is the only form of interaction in the public primary schools and as such pupils lack opportunity for practice and application of knowledge gained. Local plays have been found to form part of children’s preoccupation with significant learning opportunities. Thus, a pre-test and post-test, non randomized experimental design was adopted for the study. The population comprised four thousand, one hundred and sixteen (5,126) primary one pupils in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State while two hundred and thirty-six primary one pupils formed the sample for the study from intact classes. One class was exposed to a lesson on number and shape recognition from adapted local plays while the other was exposed to the teacher-centred instructional approach. A pre test and post test was used to collect data before and after each lesson. A t-test statistical analysis revealed significant difference in the post-test performance of pupils exposed to both strategies indicating that pupils in the experimental group benefited more than pupils in the control group. Local plays are recommended as useful resources for learners’ maximum participation during lesson delivery
