The score increases from pretest to posttest showed that both methods effectively reinforced biological concepts, but a t test showed that the card game is more effective than traditional teaching methods.
Both classes received conventional instruction however, the experimental group's instruction was supplemented with the card game, while the control group's instruction was reinforced with traditional exercises and assignments. The subjects of this study were two biology classes at Bulacan State University–Sarmiento Campus.
In this study, a pretest–posttest model was used to test the effectiveness of an educational card game in reinforcing biological concepts in comparison with traditional teaching methods. The complex concepts and vocabulary of biology classes discourage many students.
