Abstract

The present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of the use of game-based methods on academic performance in the teaching of map reading. in which four classes from Farhangian University campuses of East Azerbaijan province (brothers and sisters) were selected as available samples and were investigated in two experimental and control groups. A 12-hour game-based training package was designed and implemented for the experimental group. And at this time, the control group was trained in the traditional way. Both the experimental group and the control group were evaluated before and after the intervention using a test made by the researcher of the relevant course. The obtained data were analyzed using one-way and multi-way analysis of covariance. The obtained results show that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in academic performance. The results of this research confirmed the effectiveness of using the game method in the academic performance of Farhangian University students in East Azarbaijan province.
