Improving Students’ Proficiency in College and Advanced Algebra through Mobile Legends- inspired Teaching

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a Mobile Legends–inspired teaching approach in improving students’ proficiency in college and advanced algebra. The study utilized a quantitative research design, specifically the one-group pretest-posttest design, to assess students’ algebra proficiency before and after the implementation of the intervention using an algebra proficiency test. The findings revealed a significant difference between the students’ pre-test and post-test scores, with a mean difference of -15.70, t(19) = -11.56, and a p-value of 0.000, which is lower than the 0.05 level of significance (two-tailed). Therefore, the null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of students in the algebra proficiency test was rejected. The results indicate that the Mobile Legends–inspired teaching approach significantly improved students’ proficiency in college and advanced algebra. Furthermore, the intervention promoted greater engagement, participation, and confidence among students in solving algebraic problems. The study suggests that integrating game-based elements into mathematics instruction can provide a more interactive and meaningful learning experience that supports students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills in algebra.
