How to Implement Game-Based Learning in a Smart Classroom? A Model Based on a Systematic Literature Review and Delphi...

Area of Science:

• Educational Technology
• Learning Sciences
• Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

• Game-based learning (GBL) facilitates knowledge acquisition in engaging environments.
• Implementation of GBL in classrooms faces challenges including infrastructure, resources, theoretical guidance, and teacher acceptance.
• Existing literature on GBL challenges spans from 2010 to 2020, highlighting a need for updated solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To identify and categorize challenges in implementing game-based learning in classroom settings.
• To develop a technology-enhanced game-based learning model tailored for smart classrooms.
• To validate the proposed model and provide practical utilization approaches for educators.

Main Methods:

• Systematic literature review of 42 papers (2010-2020) to identify GBL implementation challenges.
• Construction of a technology-enhanced GBL model encompassing learning objectives, process, evaluation, and smart classroom integration.
• Application of the Delphi method with 29 experts (scholars, teachers, managers) to refine GBL implementation strategies in smart classrooms.

Main Results:

• Key challenges in GBL implementation were identified across infrastructure, resources, theoretical support, and teacher-related factors.
• A comprehensive technology-enhanced GBL model was developed, integrating learning design with smart classroom technology.
• Expert consensus was reached on strategies for effectively implementing GBL within smart classroom environments.

Conclusions:

• The technology-enhanced GBL model provides a viable framework to overcome existing implementation barriers.
• The study offers practical utilization approaches for integrating GBL effectively into smart classrooms.
• Further research can explore the long-term impact and scalability of this enhanced GBL model.
