In this study, Wayground was employed as a gamified assessment tool in class VII A, whereas class VII B received instruction and assessment through conventional methods. The post-test results showed that students in class VII A obtained a higher mean score (89.05) compared to those in class VII B, who achieved a mean of 72.78. To examine the significance of this difference, an independent samples t-test assuming unequal variances (Welch’s t-test) was performed at the 0.05 significance level. The analysis revealed a t-value of 2.84, which was greater than the critical value of 2.06. The p-value (0.008) was lower than the significance level of 0.05, confirming that the difference was statistically significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, indicating that the use of Wayground as a gamified assessment tool resulted in a statistically significant difference in students’ English vocabulary mastery.
