    INTEGRATION OF GAMES IN TEACHING AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE

    LEARNING EXPERIENCES OF GRADE 8 LEARNERS


    According to Al-Azawi et al., 2016, Gamification in education has
    become the focus of attention in recent years. While “gamification is the
    practice of using game design elements, game mechanics and game thinking
    in non-game activities to motivate participants”. Educational gamification is a
    teaching method that requires learners to participate in competitions
    according to preset rules (Fitzgerald, 1997). It has been an interdisciplinary
    and prevalent tool for educators to utilize in teaching in the past few years
    (Robson et al., 2016).
    Calderón and Ruiz (2015) who found that 53 educational games
    research literature had adopted different methods to assess the effectiveness
    of diverse educational games in the period between November 2013 and April
    2015, compared to 18 and 20 games used in health and wellness, and the
    professional learning and training domain, respectively. They also reported
    that 60% of these 53 studies examined the effectiveness of using educational
    games in higher education setting, compared to only 40% in primary or
    secondary school settings, indicating that teachers in higher education are
    more likely to combine educational games with traditional teaching methods
    into students’ learning experiences—a sign of creativity of embracing the new
    strategy to enrich students’ learning experience.
    Integrating games into education is successful because it makes
    learning engaging, active, and personal for students. As a result, using
    educational games in the classroom benefits students by bolstering problem-
    solving and critical-thinking skills, promoting collaboration, and motivating
    students to learn more, (MassMan 2023).
    Learning with technology and the internet covers a broader area than
    the conventional learning. The integration of technology in learning is deemed
    critical to achieve the learning objectives. An example of the application of
    technology in learning is the use of the smartphone as a tool for media of
    inquiry in higher education. It is currently acknowledged that the use of
    smartphone creates dynamic learning as the learners could utilize it to interact
    and collaborate with various sources and partners all around the globe. (Al-
    Emran, H. M., Elsherif, M. and Shaalan, K. (2016).
    Smartphone as learning media has various dimensions. To create fun
    learning, the smartphone could be used to apply game-based learning. In this
    sense, a study from Chang C.C., et al, has proven that game-based learning
    served better learning experience than the conventional ones. Another similar
    study by Chen, C. H. and Law, V. (2016), discovered that the use of game-
    based learning could provide a better learning experience when collaborated
    with learning instruction that guided the students.
    Zumbach, J., Rammerstorfer, L. and Deibl, I. (2020) explained that
    learning through the game would benefit the learners as they could have
    instructional and metacognitive supports that would not burden their cognitive
    capacity. It is explained further by Chen, S. Y. and Chang, Y. M. (2020) that
    virtual learning could also promote the students’ learning capacity and the
    competitive atmosphere among them since they would spend their time more
    on studying.
    According to Ming Li, Qi Zhang, Zhonggen Yu (2024), Serious games
    could improve student learning effects; empower learners’ acceptance of
    learning. Learning in a game environment and through immersive experiences
    is critical and meaningful. Thus, educational games are more effective for
    student enjoyment, contributing to learners’ acceptance of game-based
    learning. Serious games can provide playful experiences full of entertainment,
    motivating learners to explore the joyful way of learning tasks, since they can
    supply enough freedom for students.
