Summary
Technology in education will also enable methods of learning for those with learning difficulties.
Game-based learning banks on the "Learning by doing" mechanism that has worked well in the past.
One of the largest studies involving game-based learning reviewed 48 papers on a popular game-based learning platform.
The best way to understand GBL is playing a game where winning could mean improved learning and better cognitive development.
Games are known to engage and entertain children and integration of learning outcomes would not only aid learning but also provide much-needed reprieve and interaction during the isolation brought about by lockdown measures.
The evolving technology and access to it at a young age is already ensuring a smarter young generation to avoid learning fatigue and to enhance motivation, GBL certainly looks like the way forward.
Game-based learning is the use of gaming with educational outcomes to improve learning and cognitive development.
