Abstract

The institutions are focused on preparing future professionals and addressing that, innovative teaching methods are adapted. As the field of digital games and simulation is constantly changing and evolving, this paper seeks to address the issue and inculcate the concept of gaming in a non-game environment i.e., education. The main purpose is to learn the effect of games on achieving specific learning objectives. As rapidly evolving technological applications, games and simulations are already widely integrated into the traditional educational process. They are deployed extensively in the field of education, with an existing body of work examining the relation between games and education (Yang, Chen, & Jeng, 2010; Chiang. Lin Cheng, & Liu 2011) using gaming can foster social and emotional learning and motivate students to take risks. With the growing expansion of technology, instructors and those who create educational policies arc interested in introducing innovative technological tools, such as video games, virtual worlds, and Massive Multi-Player Online Games (Buckless, 2014; Gomez, 2014).
