ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ VIEWS ON GAME-BASED LEARNING AS A TEACHING METHOD
Abstract
game-based learning (GBL) helps students improve their problem-solving skills and enables them to interpret their own society, nature, and the world around them through experience. The game provides information in a relevant context or setting. That is why it is very important for social learning courses, classroom leisure activities, games and sports activities, which are designed to train students to become active members of the classroom.
