Translational Specifications of Neural-Informed Game- Based Interventions for Mathematical Cognitive Development of Low-Progress Learners (NIE01)

Sundaram Mohan Shakthi Raffles Institution Shi Menglin National Junior College Assistant Professor

Dr. Azilawati JAMALUDIN

(Ph.D.) National Institute of Education

SLIDE 2

3-year project Using games

to improve their math ability

Primary school students

who underperform in math

SLIDE 3

Determine the behavioral and lifestyle factors that affect the cognitive performance of Junior College students in mathematics

SLIDE 23

How do we choose the sample?

SLIDE 24

Mix of males and females With varying math ability

according to their grades for promotional examinations

SLIDE 25

Why do we choose behavioural factors?

SLIDE 26

Student-level 69% Classroom-level 14% School-level 17%

FACTORS AFFECT STUDENT MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE

SLIDE 27

Why do we choose these factors?

Sleeping Habits

SLIDE 28

4 in 5 teens

Sleeping quality affects test performance

Only 20% of teenagers

from top schools in Singapore are getting enough sleep are sleep-deprived

SLIDE 29

Why do we choose these factors?

Executive Function

SLIDE 30

215 Preschool children

Executive functioning can be used to predict mathematics achievement

After controlling individual factors

such as gender, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status in Singapore

SLIDE 31

Why do we choose to use Pearson Correlation?

SLIDE 32

Measure strength of linear associations P-value indicated statistical significance

Value ranges from +1 to -1

between 2 variables using statistical programme such as SPSS
