“…However, the results in the final exam only show a small increase, which is not significant. These findings align with the conclusions drawn in references [5] and [35], which suggest that games are effective tools for learning in terms of motivation and observable behavior changes but may not necessarily result in significant improvements in student learning. The study emphasizes the need for further research to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in student learning outcomes using different teaching methodologies.…”

This research delves into the use of simulation games as a learning tool in logistics education, with a focus on the Logistics Simulator and Production Game Simulator. Through an analysis of these two cases, relevant findings were uncovered. Firstly, simulation games can recreate concrete experiences, allowing students to engage with challenging problems in a practical manner. In addition, simulation games offer a platform for experimentation with diverse scenarios, enabling students to hone their decision-making skills in a safe environment. Furthermore, the degree of motivation and engagement exhibited by students was found to be positively correlated with their experience gained through simulators. However, while the results obtained from the simulator were associated with student motivation and engagement, the study did not yield conclusive evidence in terms of student learning outcomes. The findings underscore the significance of employing strategies that enhance student motivation and support deep learning, thereby enabling students to apply and transfer knowledge to new situations. Notably, simulation games have great potential in logistics education as they facilitate faster and more enjoyable comprehension of key decision-making factors. Nevertheless, limitations of this study include the small sample size in both cases, which restricts generalizability, and the lack of consideration for sociodemographic factors in the baseline survey. Future research should address these limitations for more reliable findings on the specific needs of students in game-based and experiential learning contexts.

“…Numerous examples of ICT utilization can be observed in educational platforms and virtual environments. Particularly, the incorpo ration of Serious Games (SGs) and simulators has emerged as a preferred option within classroom settings, as the participation of learners in these games has been shown to bring about changes in their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors [4] [5]. Consequently, SGs are now employed as a strategy to support learning across various domains of study, including medicine [6], logistics [7], military training [8], nursing [9], among others.…”

The demand for practical, engaging, and enjoyable learning experiences has led to a shift in student preferences. Students now seek active learning approaches that prioritize their involvement and utilize technology. In response to this demand, simulators and serious games have emerged as effective strategies in education. Serious games offer numerous benefits, including the promotion of critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills, and improved knowledge retention. However, it is crucial to ensure that serious games are well-designed to maintain their appeal and playful nature. Inadequate requirements definition during the initial stages of development can lead to issues in game design. This article emphasizes the importance of establishing clear requirements and objectives in the creation of serious games for educational purposes. By doing so, effective serious games can be developed that meet the needs of students and align with educational goals. This systematic approach to game development ensures that the games are engaging, effective, and conducive to learning.
