- Abstract
Educational game is one of the media that can be used to support students’ learning in mathematics. Several previous studies have shown that educational games can improve students’ competencies. However, educational games are under-utilized in schools. The purpose of this survey study was to describe students’ perceptions toward educational games in mathematics learning. The participants in this study were 101 students in 7th and 8th grades junior high school in Mataram, Indonesia. The participants were selected using voluntary and random sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires that contain two parts, i.e. closed and opened statements. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with qualitative methods. The study found that students gave positive and negative responses towards application of games in learning. Students agreed that games enhance their motivation and activity in learning. On the other hand, some students complained that games tend to distract their focus. It contributes to the students’ difficulty in mastering the mathematical concepts. The results of this study provide a useful insight for future research in learning media development.
