A Study on the Use of Online Games in Teaching and Learning Management Among Primary School Teachers in Bangkok

Abstract

This study aimed to: 1) survey teachers’ opinions on the use of online games in teaching and learning, and 2) identify problems and gather suggestions regarding the use of online games in teaching and learning. The study population consisted of 35 teachers in Bangkok, with a sample of 32 primary school teachers selected through purposive sampling. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The findings revealed that the most commonly used online game among teachers was Kahoot (𝑥̅=3.66), with a high level of usage. Teachers reported high satisfaction with learning activities, noting that these activities motivated students to learn (𝑥̅=4.44). Satisfaction with the learning atmosphere was rated at the highest level, highlighting its relaxing and fun qualities (𝑥̅=4.59). The use of online games in teaching and learning was found to effectively stimulate student engagement, though some limitations were noted, particularly regarding the readiness of various supporting factors.
