Freshmen enrolled inConstruction Science and Management, Concrete Industry Management, and Civil EngineeringTechnology will participate in this study. The study will conduct a paired t-test statisticalanalysis to test the first hypothesis –the game-based online animated modules will improveunderstanding and learning of Pre-Calculus concepts among construction science andmanagement majors. Students will be asked to complete identical questionnaires before andafter playing the PCLG to measure immediate changes in self-efficacy, motivation, and Pre-Calculus knowledge.
