Abstract

Dyscalculia is a specific sort of learning impairment that affects mathematic processes such as counting numbers, recalling phone numbers, and understanding speed, time, and distance. In order to help the learning of dyscalculic children, a mobile game-based learning application named Lost Boy Calculic Adventure (LBCA) was designed and developed for the use of Year 1 dyscalculic children. This application was meant to be an early intervention to encourage these children to learn and practice Mathematics in a motivating and fun way. The design and development of this assistive mobile game-based learning application which is based on the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) Model are described in this paper. This paper also includes details on the user acceptance evaluation of the prototype. The findings of the evaluation indicated that the respondents are satisfied with the design of the prototype and it can help to improve their numerical skills as an early stage of recovery intervention. This research will contribute to the betterment of the education quality of individuals with learning difficulties and it is an attempt to support the children with learning disabilities such as dyscalculia to be able to learn effectively like normal children.
