Spelling training in 1st grade with the digital application ECRIMO: The impact of tablet use and of gamification on children’s spelling performance.

Résumé

While digital tablets are gaining popularity in classrooms, there is little evidence of the specific effectiveness of a tablet application compared to the same activity without tablet. Moreover, educational applications are often gamified while the effects of gamification are mixed and rarely tested with children. In order to answer these questions, we tested the efficiency of ECRIMO (first version of an application for spelling training), on 311 first graders. A pretest/training/posttest design was implemented with four training groups: a “business as usual” group, a “spelling on paper” training group and two groups trained with ECRIMO (gamified or non-gamified version). Spelling abilities were measured on both pretest and postest. Mixed model analyses revealed a spelling training positive effect dependent on the initial level of participants, and no specific effect of tablets. The gamification effect also varies according to the initial level, underlying the importance of careful consideration of the app design.
