Effectiveness of board games on development of mathematical skills among children with specific learning disabilities: A study of general teacher’s perception

Abstract

Board games play an important role in the life of a student. Some board games create interest to do mathematics. When a child plays those types of board games which involve any type of math skills, the child learns that skills in a fun way. These games are not only help to improve mathematical skills but also help in another skill like critical thinking and problem solving. So, to know the perception of general teacher towards the use of board games for the purpose of learning, the researcher has done this study. The main aim of this study was to know the perception of general teachers towards the effectiveness of board games on development of mathematical skills among children with specific learning disability. 75 general teachers participated in this study. Data has been gathered by the survey method of research in which teachers had to fill their demographic data and their perception towards the board games which was described in the survey form. The results of the research revealed that general teachers have significant perception towards the effectiveness of board games on development of mathematical skills among children with specific learning disability.
