  Abstract

Game shows are capable of grabbing students’ attention in a lecture, and at the same time offers much delight to students to learn in a more interesting and entertaining way. A mind game was developed and incorporated into the teaching of basic organic chemistry course at the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. The modified brainteaser game is comprised of a set of problems associated with vocabulary or concepts in basic organic chemistry, whereby students were required to solve within a stipulated time frame. Students’ attitude changes were then evaluated with the administration of Attitude toward the Subject of Chemistry Inventory Version 2 (ASCIv2) questionnaire. The result of this study revealed that the intervention group experienced a significant change in attitude towards the course as compared to the control group. The intervention group also experienced a positive learning environment, resulting in an increased academic performance and interest.
