    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Traditional teaching methods may not fully engage students in complex subjects like ageing.
    • Effective pedagogical approaches are needed to improve understanding of geriatric medicine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate "The Ageing Game," an innovative teaching method for geriatric medicine.
    • To assess the game's effectiveness in maximizing student involvement and knowledge acquisition.

    Main Methods:

    • The Ageing Game involves up to 30 students from medical and paramedical fields.
    • It utilizes 90 cards with statements about ageing or elderly care (true, false, or doubtful).
    • Students collaboratively sort cards into true categories, followed by group adjudication and teacher commentary.

    Main Results:

    • The game design facilitates maximum student participation and interaction.
    • It encourages critical thinking and discussion regarding statements about ageing and geriatric practice.
    • The adjudication phase allows for targeted feedback and clarification by the instructor.

    Conclusions:

    • The Ageing Game offers a dynamic and engaging approach to teaching geriatric medicine.
    • It effectively promotes active learning, critical evaluation, and collaborative problem-solving skills among students.
    • This method provides a valuable tool for educators in medical and paramedical disciplines to enhance learning outcomes in gerontology.
