Comparison of the Use of Active Games and Language Workbook Exercises as Learning Media in the Development of Language Understandings with Third Grade Children

Abstract

Two equated groups of children were taught language understandings, one group through active games and the other through language workbook exercises. Using the differences between pre- and post-test scores as criteria, the results suggested that children learned through both media. It also appeared that learning through active games was greater than with the language workbook exercises.
