students, cater mathematical investigation, or practice a mathematical skill. Introduction Play is children’s work and they love it! Well-designed lessons using game-based learning strategy takes advantage of children’s natural love for play to lead them toward complex problem solving. Think
Children find games both motivating and
enjoyable, so it is not a suprise that teachers harness games to cater to learn. There are many ways in which games are used in the classroom. Game-based learning include: Card Games Board Games Video Games Experience Following a guessing game to develop the student’s sense and weight. Weight is probably the most abstract measurement for children because they do not see it. This game will makes sense of weight. Challenge Developing a game that has instructional values is challenging so there may be instances when instead of creating a new one, you would adaptan existing game but modify it a bit to meet your learnin goal. Harness
Develop a mathematical game that has instructional value. How important game-based learning is?
This helps to make learning more
contextual, more real and therefore more enjoyable and relevant to the learners. Is game-based learning active learning?
Game based learning is also an active
learning technique where games are used to enhance student learning. Here, the learning comes from playing the game and promotes critical thinking and problem solving skills. What is the difference of Games and Game-based Learning? While Games are for fun, Game- based learning is a type of game play that has defined learning outcomes its using a game as part of the learning process. What are the advantages of game- based learning to students?
The use of games in the
classroom allows children to develop an emotional connection to learning and subject matter. What are the benefits advantages of playing games?
Improved problem-solving skills
and logic. Increased hand-to-eye coordination. Greater multi- tasking ability. Faster and more accurate decision-making. How does game-based learning help teachers? Game-based learning brings the strategies, rules and social experiences of playing a game into the classroom. The game-based learning model allows teachers to target certain activities that will benefit the real-world application of concepts. 5 Steps to Implementing Game-Based Learning in the Classroom Determine the Purpose of Game-Based Learning Play the Game Yourself, Making Sure It Is Aligned with Learning Goals Ensure It Meets Expectations from Parents Dedicate Time to Consistent In-Class Play Assess Progress Throughout Play, Informing Instruction 1. Determine the Purpose of Game-Based Learning Its use games as an educational tool to enhance the learning experience and achieve specific educational objectives. Game-based learning blends elements of gaming with educational content to engage and motivate learners while promoting the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. 2. Play the Game Yourself, Making Sure It Is Aligned with Learning Goals
Playing the game in question will
help you determine if it’s aligned with learning goals you’ve set. 3. Ensure It Meets Expectations from Parents
Getting buy-in from other teachers
or admins may be needed before finalizing your game selection, but parents should also know about your game-based learning plans. 4. Dedicate Time to Consistent In-Class Play
Sporadic game-based learning may
not allow students to reach learning goals as effectively as consistent, scheduled play time. 5. Assess Progress Throughout Play, Informing Instruction
Collecting data from the games
you implement can uncover student trouble spots and aptitudes, helping you shape in- class instruction.
