CURRENT TRENDS & ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
DIGITAL GAME BASED LEARNING
Finding new ways to grab the attention of learners and engaging them in the learning
process is one of the main issue nowadays because learning is not just rote
memorization, students won’t be able to gain any information and skills out of dull
learning process but they understand the application of skills and knowledge to solve
real life problems with help of effective learning process. According to Patricia Deubel,
digital game based learning has the potential to engage and motivate students and
offer custom learning experiences while promoting long term memory and providing
practical experience. In this way students will take responsible for their learning, and as
a teacher we just need to be careful, watchful and organized in giving some activities
just like Prensky said that teachers have to adapt the language and learning styles of
the students who have always been surrounded by technology. Digital games are not
absolutely effective unless proven. We should anticipate the result of game base
learning especially that we use computer and video games. We need to make sure that
the subject matter and game play are balance and the learner must have the ability of
the learner to retain and apply the acquired knowledge to real world scenarios.
