UNLOCKING LEARNER RETENTION: STRATEGIES FOR LASTING LESSON IMPACT THROUGH PROJECT G.A.M.E. (GAMES AS MEANINGFUL ENHANCEMENTS)

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating gamification into educational practices to enhance learner retention and create a lasting impact. Project G.A.M.E. (Games as Meaningful Enhancements) focuses on leveraging games as dynamic tools to make learning more engaging, interactive, and memorable. By aligning game-based activities with specific learning objectives, the study highlights how purposeful design, active participation, and meaningful feedback can foster deeper comprehension and long-term retention among learners.

The research examines strategies such as real-world simulations, collaborative tasks, and repetition through game mechanics to enhance cognitive processing. It also evaluates the motivational benefits of gamified learning, emphasizing its potential to transform traditional methods into enjoyable and impactful experiences. This study aims to provide educators with actionable insights and innovative approaches for improving learner outcomes through the strategic application of games in education.
