Grade 8 learner’s achievement and motivation level in geometry using kahoot! as a formative assessment

Abstract

This paper dealt with the utilization of Kahoot! and its effects on the grade 8 learner’s motivation and achievement level in Geometry. The two pre-assigned sections were randomly selected as experimental and control group in Iligan City National High School. Kahoot was used as a formative assessment in the experimental group while in the control group, traditional method of assessment was used. Based on the data gathered, both methods of formative assessment were effective in increasing the achievement level of grade 8 learners. The experimental group had higher increase of mean score, meaning the group that was exposed to Kahoot! improved better in the Achievement Test than the controlled group. Learners’ from the experimental group were highly motivated in answering the quiz using Kahoot. The researchers strongly recommend the used of Kahoot! as a formative assessment in grade 8 learners’ because it was showed that there was an effect on its achievement and motivational level inside the classroom towards Geometry.
