Teachers' readiness to Use Mobile Gamification in Teaching and Learning in Primary Schools in South Kinta District

Abstract

This study examined Teachers' readiness to use mobile gamification in teaching and learning (T&L) activities at primary schools in the South Kinta District. A quantitative approach with a questionnaire as a research instrument had been selected for this study. The sample consisted of 180 primary school teachers at South Kinta District. Study variables included in the study were; perceptions of teachers’ readiness; knowledge of teachers’ readiness, skills of teachers’ readiness; and challenges as well as issues. Results showed that all variables were at a moderate mean level as a whole; perceptions of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.87, SP = .455); knowledge of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.86, SP = .600); skills of teachers’ readiness (M = 2.61, SP = .554); and challenges and issues (M = 2.87, SP = .460). In conclusion, the results implied that the teachers' readiness to use mobile gamification in T&L at primary schools in the South Kinta District is at a moderate level and requires proactive efforts from school administrators and the Ministry of Education towards increasing teachers' interest.
