The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
Imagine a classroom with students deeply engaged in their lessons, eagerly solving math problems and exploring English skills through fun digital games. Their excitement is evident as they face challenges and earn rewards, turning traditional learning into an adventure. Game-based learning not only motivates students through elements like challenges, rewards and narratives but also fosters critical skills such as problem-solving, strategic thinking and collaboration.
