Game-based Learning

Educators must always be up to date with the latest trends not only in teaching but more importantly in motivating learners. There is a new trend called Game-based Learning (GBL) wherein students are encouraged to play while developing their personalities unconsciously. Game-based learning is an expansive category, ranging from simple paper-and-pencil games like word searches all the way up to complex, massively multiplayer online (MMO) and role-playing games. GBL appeals to the learners’ “intrinsic motivation” – challenge, curiosity, control and fantasy.

GBL is gaining a steady following in the development of the Philippine curriculum where early learners  experience burnout at a young age. There is an urgency to educate these children effectively without them wishing it was over before it starts.

Presently, C &E offers materials that aim to provide effective and enjoyable learning experiences to students. It saw the need to educate, motivate, and assess students as well as their teachers sparing them of tantrums, headaches, and burnout. Their learning materials are geared towards providing up to date systems of learning that prove to be more realistically effective in the future.
