Abstract

This research aimed to examine the effect of the Matific platform on preschool students' academic performance in Mathematics in Al Dhafra Region, United Arab Emirates. It also examined the difference between boys’ and girls' academic performance after using the Matific platform during mathematics learning. An experimental research design with pre- and posttest was conducted over a four-week period. A convenient sampling technique was used to select twenty preschool students in an intact group (11 girls and 9 boys). Data was collected through the Achievement Test instrument using pretests and posttests. Descriptive statistics and paired samples t-tests were used to evaluate differences in pretest and posttest scores among individuals and groups, with further analysis conducted to examine differences between boys' and girls' performance. Findings suggest that there is significant effect of using the Matific platform on students' academic performance in Mathematics. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the performance of boys and girls in utilizing Matific.
