Game Based Learning, Traditional Learning Strategy, Effective, EngagementAbstract
With the advancement of technology, various new learning strategies have been developed according to the requirement and learning environments of the learners. The game-based learning strategy is an advance learning strategy in which a learner fully engaged in the learning process. This learning strategy completely replaces the traditional learning strategy. A lot of research studies indicated the improvement in learning process by game-based learning strategy. The purpose of current study was to compare the students’ learning outcomes with game based and traditional learning strategies by descriptive and statistical ways. A total of 26 articles published from 2012 to 2021 were selected by following inclusion and exclusion criteria. The literature reviewed of previous studies indicated that game-based learning strategy proved to be highly effective learning strategy in numerous disciplines under different learning environments. In game-based learning strategy, the learners highly engaged in learning process.
