Perception of Game-Based Learning and its Impact on Motivation and Engagement among Radiologic Technology Students

Noel Juan Acosta | Edward Mico Guttang

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study investigates the perception of game-based learning (GBL) and its impact on motivation and engagement among third-year radiologic technology students. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study surveyed 100 students from Our Lady of Mercy Pulilan in Bulacan. Results indicated a very positive perception of GBL, a high level of motivation, and significant engagement. The findings further revealed strong correlations between perception and motivation (r = .759), perception and engagement (r = .712), and motivation and engagement (r = .862). Based on the findings, an action plan was proposed to sustain the perception, motivation, and engagement in GBL
