What Is Game-Based Learning?

Game-based learning is an active learning


technique that uses games to improve student
learning.

The learning, in this case, comes from playing the


game, which promotes critical thinking and
problem-solving skills.
Why Is Gaming So Important To The Learning Success?

Constructivism approach.

Some of the advantages of using games with learning purposes are:

Learn from your mistakes in a safe and simulated environment.

Learn other ways or more effective techniques to carry out


something in particular.

The context of a game is generally more engaging because at every


stage there is a challenge to achieve that keeps the learner
motivated.
How to succeed with Game-Based Learning
(GBL)
Align game types with learning outcomes:
There are different types of games: boarding games, adventure games, puzzle
games, etc. Analise them and think about which is more suitable to use
depending on each situation and the learning outcomes.
Turn learning and knowledge into the clue:
When the gamer receives a positive output by using his knowledge, it is more
probable he will use it again in the game.
Apply proven effective instructional strategies to design the game: The
use of graphics instead of only text, to show and demonstrate how to do things
instead of just put them on a list, to let learners self-asses their knowledge
instead of just answer a final test and the use of similar scenarios that are easily
transferable to the daily life of the gamer.
