Assessing the Role of Digital Tools in Enhancing Numeracy Skills Among Primary School Learners

Description

This research assessed the effectiveness of digital tools in enhancing numeracy skills among primary school learners, during S.Y. 2025-2026 as a basis for a development plan. A quasi-experimental research design using the pre-test and post-test scores of the two groups was employed. A total of 15 learners from the control group and 15 from the experimental group participated in the study. A pre-test and post-test assessment survey of numeracy skills was used as the main instrument. The data were analyzed using simple percentages, weighted means, standard deviations, and t-tests. Pre-test results showed very good numeracy in the control group and fair numeracy in the experimental group, while post-test results indicated very good numeracy in the control group and excellent numeracy in the experimental group, with both groups demonstrating significant pre–post improvements and a significant mean gain difference. Both groups improved, but the experimental group achieved significantly greater gains, rising from fair to excellent numeracy and confirming the strong impact of technology-integrated mathematics instruction. It is recommended that the development plan, as the study's output, be implemented to strengthen learners' numeracy skills.
