Abstract

The development and implementation of dynamic learning strategies as a means to enhance student engagement and retention have contributed to a promising resurgence in the field of education. One innovative educational strategy aimed at fostering student motivation is 'game-based learning' (GBL). GBL is designed to integrate subject matter with gameplay, facilitating the application of this knowledge to real-world situations. It harnesses the principles of gaming to achieve specific educational objectives, whether they relate to knowledge, skills, or behaviours. Through the amalgamation of these approaches, it is intended to increase student participation and empower them to cultivate cognitive abilities and behaviours that are conducive to their learning. This chapter explores the potential benefits of effective GBL implementation and delves into the numerous pitfalls and potential issues that can arise when incorporating game elements and mechanics into the educational, alongside the requisite institutional conditions for students to fully immerse themselves in the provided context.
