Gone are the days of learning with textbooks. As an educator, you have probably experienced how difficult it is to meet different student needs while trying to keep student interest high. Game-based learning is an engaging and exciting way to engage students in academic learning. Wherever you are in your educational career, this course will help you learn what you need to know to integrate academic play into your classroom.
Game-based learning is a teaching strategy used to help define and support learning outcomes for individuals to achieve their learning goals. In order to keep students motivated to learn while playing, they need to have elements such as participation, instant rewards and healthy competition.
The great thing about game-based learning is that it’s available to everyone at all levels of education, from pre-school to post-secondary education and beyond.
This learning model brings the methods, rules, and social experiences of playing games into the classroom. This model allows teachers to target specific activities that will benefit real-world reflections of concepts. This can lead to more engaging and social learning opportunities.
Here are some reasons why teachers use game-based learning:
In recent years, the deterioration of the ecosystem with anthropogenic effects and accordingly environmental events such as global warming, greenhouse effect, depletion of the ozone layer and climate changes have increased rapidly. Parallel to this, it has become an increasingly common view that education is the leading solution for raising environmental awareness. In particular, raising individuals at the desired level in solving environmental problems that concern all societies can only be realized with the importance given to environmental education. Environmental problems do not concern only one region of our planet or a particular country, but the whole world. Therefore, environmental education becomes an integral part of the education program of every country.
Education is a field in which skills, attitudes and values in social life are acquired.
Today, it is expected from the teacher to direct the education process, to create a step for education and to place the student at the center of education. Teachers are not seen as the absolute authority in the learning environment, they ensure that the student acquires relevant information efficiently.
The teacher is also considered as a supportive guide for individuals who discover, learn and make sense.
Teachers are expected to see the differences between their students, create enriched learning environments for them, and support the educational process with relevant materials. A learning environment where students can express themselves freely and show their presence in the learning process is important. For this reason, it will be insufficient to use only traditional methods such as the narration method or the method of asking questions and getting answers.
The drama method forms the basis of the “live and learn” method. Drama is the imitation of a purpose or idea about the lives of a group and animals using improvisation or animation techniques. Drama is to enliven an experience, an event, an idea. Sometimes in the process of individually “playing” the meaning of a concept or behavior, group work is done using improvisation, role playing, theater or drama techniques. According to another understanding, drama is an approach that will enable individuals to become individuals as an educational method, a creative field of education and a discipline.
This course will enable students to use drama as a learning tool to improve their creativity and social skills.

IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THERE IS A SOLUTION TOO.
The classroom should be flipped in the events of students’ indifference to the courses, copying their homework, not acquiring the subjects taught, missing all the lectures in case of not being present in the classroom, fast learners’ getting bored of the slow course, dropping out of the lessons and schools etc. We can eliminate these problems with Flipped Classroom, a new pedagogical approach to learning. With this course, you will not only learn about Flipped Classroom, but also practice it. So, at the end of our course, you will have a viable Flip example.
