Abstract

As Vision 2020 approaches, Malaysians have yet to overcome the challenge of being
a progressive society that does not just simply act as consumers of technology, but
also be capable of contributing to the scientific and technological civilization of the
future. Majority of students choose not to pursue into STEM related studies as they
are slowly losing interest and the engagement to learn STEM education due to
limited availability of interactive teaching method and tools for a more effective
learning in the classroom environment. With respect to the matter, games have been
introduced over the years as an exciting approach to retain students’ interest in
learning using current software like mobile applications. Hence in this regard, an
educational game application is proposed to assist in increasing student’s interest in
STEM subjects, mainly focusing on the Earth and Space Science topic. The purpose
of this project is to study how educational game application can help to incline
students’ interest in Science subject, develop an educational game application and
conduct usability evaluation of the educational game application. The research
covers the scope to the targeted group of Year 4 and Year 5 primary school students
and the subtopic chosen is Earth and space science. The project utilizes Rapid
Application Development methodology due to the short amount of time. The
application was developed using Ionic Framework, Angular 5, C#.NET and
SQLExpress. The findings showed that this project is believed to be helpful to
incline students’ interest in learning Science subject.
