Numeracy Literacy Educational Game-based RPG Maker MV in Elementary Schools

This research discusses the implementation of numeracy literacy in mathematics learning into educational games based on RPG Maker MV for elementary school students. Technological advances allow game-based learning to come in various genres and can be created by anyone with any background, including those involved in the world of education. By implementing numeracy literacy and challenge games into the learning process, students become more active and improve student learning outcomes, and teachers continue to play an active role as facilitators. This research aims to design an educational game that includes numeracy literacy and is created using the RPG Maker MV application to improve students’ HOTS abilities in mathematics subjects. This research uses the Nieveen model for game development. In this research, integrating RPG-based educational games into numeracy literacy in mathematics learning went well in designing teaching materials, challenges, and questions. The effectiveness of the RPG Maker MV-based numeracy literacy game based on the results of working on the hottest posttest questions has met the effective criteria. This research can be complementary in terms of educational games, numeracy literacy, and HOTS questions.
