Game-based learning ideas to enhance science teaching
Description: game-based learning can be an effective method to make students work toward a goal, allowing them to learn through experimentation, practicing behaviours and thought processes that can be then easily transferred from the simulated environment to real life. This session explores some of that we can use this approach in science to increase engagement and enjoyment whilst aiding retrieval practise and consolidating ideas and concepts.
Action planning - Plenary and close.
