Game-based learning (GBL) is a teaching method that uses video games or game-like simulations to educate students about specific topics. This approach combines elements of gameplay, such as challenging objectives, rewards, and competition, with educational content, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and content mastery. Through GBL, students can learn in a hands-on, immersive environment that helps them engage with complex material and retain information. GBL has been praised for its ability to increase motivation, enhance learning outcomes, and promote deeper understanding of challenging concepts.
