Abstract

The purpose of the research was to investigate the impact of educational games on the learning rate of mathematical concepts among educable intellectually disabled students. A Pseudo-experiment has taken place. Non-probability sampling was used and the sample size was 14 educable intellectually disabled students of two schools for students with special needs. The sample has been divided into two groups; each group was including 8 students. The experimental group was taught using games but the control group was taught like a normal class. The research instruments included four researcher constructed games and a pre-posttest which also been constructed by the researcher. The findings showed a significant difference in mean (p=0.025) between the experimental and control groups. There is also an increase in the mean of learning chemical and mathematical concepts among the experimental group. It is concluded that educational games can increase the rate of learning chemical and mathematical concepts among educable intellectually disabled students
