Associative Learning

Associative Learning

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Summary

Game-based learning (GBL) shows potential in orthodontic education, with positive learner perceptions. However, more high-quality studies are needed due to limited evidence and moderate bias risks in most research.

Background:

Game-based learning (GBL) is an emerging pedagogical approach.
Its effectiveness in specialized fields like orthodontic education requires systematic evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review the educational impact of GBL in orthodontic education.
To assess the effectiveness and learner perceptions of GBL interventions.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted across four major databases (Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar) for articles from January 2000 to December 2023.
Seven articles, including randomized control trials and surveys, were included after a thorough selection process.
Reference lists of identified articles were also reviewed for additional relevant studies.

Main Results:

Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggested GBL is more effective than traditional methods, while one RCT found no significant difference.
Five GBL interventions were digital, one traditional, and one a card game.
Positive learner perceptions of GBL were consistently reported at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Conclusions:

Game-based learning demonstrates potential for enhancing learner performance and engagement in orthodontic education.
Integrating entertaining and educational elements in GBL is recommended.
Further high-quality experimental studies are necessary to overcome the limitations of current evidence, largely due to moderate bias risks in six of the reviewed articles.
