Venus

Defining Game-Based Learning

Venus has a beautiful name and is
the second planet from the Sun. It’s
terribly hot—even hotter than
Mercury—and its atmosphere is
extremely poisonous. It’s the second
brightest natural object in the night
sky after the Moon

Mercury is the closest planet to the
Sun and the smallest one in the Solar
System—it’s only a bit larger than
the Moon. The planet’s name has
nothing to do with the liquid metal,
since Mercury was named after the
Roman messenger god

6 Principles of
Game-Based
Learning

Game-Based Learning vs Traditional

Aspect

Game-Based Learning (GBL)

Traditional Learning

Engagement and
Motivation

Engages through games, challenges,
rewards, and competition.

May rely on lectures, textbooks, and
rote memorization, which can be less
engaging.

Active Learning
Promotes active learning with problem-
solving and exploration within the game.

May involve passive consumption of
information, such as listening or
reading.

Feedback and
Assessment

Offers immediate, interactive feedback
within the game. Assessment is often
integrated into gameplay.

Assessment typically occurs
separately, and feedback may not be
immediate.

Customization and
Adaptability

Adapts to individual learner needs and
pacing.

Often follows a standardized
curriculum and pace.

Retention and Long-
Term Learning

Improves retention through memorable
experiences.

Effects on retention may vary
depending on teaching methods.

Interactivity and
Collaboration
Encourages collaboration and teamwork.
Opportunities for collaboration may be
limited.

Creativity and Problem-
Solving
Fosters creativity and critical thinking.
May focus more on knowledge
acquisition.
