How To Integrate Game-Based Learning into Curriculum Design

Gamified learning is a behavioral technique that often shifts the intrinsic joy from learning something new to an extrinsic rewards mechanic. Once the rewards are removed, the motivation to engage may also disappear. In contrast, game-based learning situates the learning in a meaningful context. This method enhances engagement and fosters a more profound, intrinsic motivation to learn. Game-based learning can significantly increase engagement and improve educational outcomes by focusing on meaningful interaction and relevance.
