Assertion 6. Playing games is good for all types of learners.
The data gleaned from the qualitative questionnaire were used to rank the games
by preference and was also disaggregated into the different subgroups. For the three
vocabulary groups, Verbally Gifted, Average, and Below Average, no discernable
preference was found based on the students’ learning styles. Therefore, this researcher
believes that student preference is due more to student personality and the type of
activities students enjoy than to their learning strengths and weaknesses. The same result
became apparent when the game preferences were examined by gender for the girls: No
distinct pattern emerged. However, 100% of the boys indicated that Bacon was their
favorite of the games included in the study. This result supports the idea that teachers
would do well to include physically active teaching methods to engage boys in learning.
