Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effect of instructional computer games using media comparison approach on learning and motivation of the students in the 4th year of primary school in the mathematics course. The statistical population of this quasi-experimental study was pretest-posttest design with control group and included all 4th grade boy students in the academic year of 2017-2018. The sampling method was simple random clustering with sample size of 64 students. Data were gathered using teacher made out come test. At first pretest was performed. The experimental group received the instruction using computer game produced and the control group received the instruction in a conventional method. At the end of the training post-test was done for the two groups. The multi covariance test has been used to test the research hypothesis. Generally, the results of the study indicated that instructional computer game has improved students learning and motivation in the math course. Some recommendations are provided concerning research results and implementation of media comparison approach.
