Online Training on “Game Based Learning”

The National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 focuses on the interplay of education and technology. NEP 2020 has set out laying standards to encourage the development of digital content, eventually fostering the betterment of the teaching-learning process. Learners acquire knowledge in the best manner when they are exposed to mediums enlightening and enriching their knowledge sharing process. Game based learning is an approach wherein students explore games through a learning context that is designed by the facilitators.

The core concept behind any medium of teaching is a learning process through repetition, failure and the accomplishment of goals. Game-based applies these core concepts to enhance learning. Students work toward a goal, choosing actions and experiencing the consequences of those actions. They actively learn and practice the right way to do things in the most entertaining way possible. This results in active learning instead of passive learning which keeps us highly engaged in practicing behaviors and thought processes that we can easily transfer from the simulated environment to real life.

Game development is not only linked to the use of technology but also reinforces problem-solving concepts. Digital Games are proven to be beneficial for the overall development of an individual. It promotes analytical thinking, logical reasoning and also enhances collaborative thinking among children.
