Let's gamify your subject teaching to be more inclusive

Third-party on-site course

Gamification is an active teaching methodology that takes elements from the world of games, board games and video games to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. Techniques such as storytelling, points, badges, leaderboards, challenges, and rewards are used to create a more interactive and enjoyable learning experience.

Description

By making learning activities more game-like, we aim to boost participation,foster collaboration, and encourage a growth mindset among students.
Unfortunately, many people believe that gamifying implies gaming or use of board games, when it is not. In this course, the differences between gamification, serious games and game-based learning methodology will be explained.
It is a practical course, where teachers will be taught how to teach their subject using gamification, starting from the curricula, topics’ planning and the classical lesson plans, following keys and steps in order to succeed, including adaptations for students with special needs. In addition, multiple examples of gamification that have been successful will be given, from different levels of education.

The content will cover:

• The benefits of gamification in teaching and learning process, starting
from the diversity in the class and need for inclusion
