Abstract

In this article, we discuss how to study or apply games as learning environments. Game-based learning (GBL) is a method that motivates learners to learn content in a fun way. Learners are motivated by challenge, fantasy, and curiosity in games. GBL provided the learners with the opportunity to test the game and empowered them to make decisions. The course content can be inserted into the minds of the learners through the game to help them develop and achieve higher learning outcomes. GBL can be used for both traditional classroom teaching and online teaching. This article aims to present information about game-based learning management. We first define the concept of game-based learning and review the design elements of games. We then review the game development process. We will discuss the use of games in the classroom and assessment. Finally, we discuss game-based learning trends and describe games as a supporting tool for teaching and learning in the traditional classroom or outside.
