Trilingual Mathematics M-Learning for Kindergarten Students

Mobile-learning (m-learning) has been the current trend in this mobile age and
education in technology has been a norm to students. This project aim to investigate
the right method of learning mathematics effectively that leads to the development of
an appropriate m-learning application for pre-school students of age four to six.
Children of age four to six have difficulties learning the basic concepts of
mathematics as they are yet to be able to perform mental operations. They have short
attention span and some parents are too occupied to accompany their children
nowadays. Furthermore, there is limited local material in the market. Hence the
main objectives of this project are to develop a trilingual mathematic m-learning
application for pre-school students that help boost learning innitiatives at the same
time able to improve their memory capability and to perform user testing on the mlearning
application developed. The mathematical concepts that are included in this
application are count, addition and subtraction. The development approach for this
project is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model as it has rapid
prototyping features and could be developed iteratively according to users’ needs and
expectation. Eclipse Indigo is the main development platform for this m-learning
application. Based on the user testing, this application has gained full recognition
from targeted users and all of them learned something from this application.
