“…ubiquitous game-based learning, collaborative learning, and context-aware learning strategies (Liu & Chu, 2010). A contextual game-based learning approach could improve student performance, attitude, motivation, and critical thinking ability compared with the non-game-based learning (Chang et al., 2019). Use of gamification technologies in botanical learning could lead to significantly higher levels of motivation than non-use of them.…”

While educational games have been increasingly popular in education, insufficient studies have comprehensively reviewed their effectiveness. To complement this missing link, this study explored game-based learning outcomes including academic achievements, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities, knowledge, learning efficiency, skills, student attitudes, and behaviors. Both negative and positive effects of educational games on motivation were also explored based on comprehensive literature analysis. The role of engagement in game-based learning was studied, coupled with the ways to enhance student engagement. We also explored the importance of gamified components in student satisfaction and provided constructive suggestions for designers and practitioners. Future research should highlight learning analytics and data mining techniques of educational game-based learning and try to find out solutions to address various problems to improve the effectiveness of educational games.

“…While Stages 1 through 3 are asynchronous and computer-aided, stage 4 can be synchronous and supported by the use of a web-based video conferencing tool. Active student participation and teacher mediation are both key since interactive and instant feedback has been shown to improve critical thinking (Chang et al 2020 ).…”

“…Nursing students in Kantar's [7] study said they felt more ready for practice, had increased knowledge about the content, and improved critical thinking. Chang, [13] found that contextual instruction provided better learning performance, attitude, motivation, and critical thinking tendencies over students who received traditional instruction. Contextual instruction is a strategy that brings relevance to a topic by providing a real, social context for the situation combined with a concrete context for knowing.…”

Background and purpose: As instructors look for ways to incorporate necessary nursing concepts that address a myriad of student learning outcomes, educational practices must shift from decontextualized instruction to teaching toward salience. The purpose of this teaching strategy was to provide context to classroom instruction and integrate clinical practice with theory. As such, a pedagogical approach for contextual instruction in the classroom is presented.Methods: Contextual instructional strategies that bring clinical experiences into the classroom was presented showing the possibilities for classroom context in education allowing for students to have a deeper understanding of course concepts and topics where context to action was applied.Results: Using contextual teaching in the classroom allows students to be engaged in active inquiry where actions and decisions regarding care become “the lecture”.Conclusions: Contextual pedagogical instruction through the use of clinical experiences encourages instructional practices that motivate students and provide relevance for what they are learning.
