Evaluating the Effectiveness of Game-Based Learning for Long-Term Knowledge Retention
DescriptionThis longitudinal study investigated the efficacy of game-based learning in enhancing the retention of safety knowledge, specifically within the domain of construction safety. The research focused on assessing participants' retention of safety knowledge one year after game-based training, revealing a resilient performance despite a perceived decline in preparedness. Analysis of the data indicated no statistically significant variance in participants' performance in hazard identification tests conducted one year after the initial assessment following game-based training. The study also explored the relationship between perceived preparation, actual performance, and the temporal gap between evaluations, highlighting the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics in educational settings. The implications of this research extend beyond construction safety, underscoring the transformative potential of game-based learning in cultivating enduring safety awareness across various industries. By harnessing innovative educational technologies, organizations can enhance workplace safety protocols and mitigate occupational hazards.
