Summary
New research suggests that integrating games into teaching can significantly enhance learning outcomes in subjects like economics and statistics. Led by Assistant Professor Joshua Fullard from Warwick Business School, the study compared traditional lecturing with game-based learning among university students. Those who used games showed a remarkable 7% increase in exam scores, with significantly fewer failing—only 7% compared to nearly a fifth in the traditional group. Moreover, student satisfaction and attendance improved notably with game-based learning. The findings underscore the efficacy of games in enhancing student success across diverse learning styles, advocating for their broader adoption despite time constraints faced by educators.
