摘要：This paper presents a game-based learning study in Malaysia in which a game has been designed for remedial Mathematics students at primary school level. Mathematics is a core subject taught in all primary schools in Malaysia. However, for students who are recognized as weak in Mathematics, teachers use remedial modules supplied by the Ministry of Education in teaching and learning activities. A research study has been initiated to propose digital game-based learning for the remedial students, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of the modules. A prototype game is designed to be playable on tablet computers. The game contains lessons under the title of Whole Numbers: Addition in Year Two syllabus. This paper reveals the concepts and rationale behind the study and the game design. The research plan is also included to justify the ecological validity of the study.
