“…Mobile game-based learning can develop students` skills during their learning by following specific strategies [34]. Critical thinking, problem-solving, reflectivity, analysis, and contextual learning are cognitive competencies needed for an efficient graduate medical student, and their skills can be developed starting from preclinical years [35].…”

Introduction:: Pathology learning for medical undergraduate students is a challenging task. Kahoot! is a mobile game-based online digital formative assessment tool that can engage students in its learning. This study is the first to assess the effect of Kahoot! use on Pathology learning outside classroom using a comparative group with assessment done at the end of the course. Methods:: The study was carried out on the first-year Pathology students at Helwan University, Faculty of Medicine, after ending a basic Pathology course. The study is a retrospective quasiexperimental quantitative study. Academic performance of students in Pathology was compared between Kahoot! and non-Kahoot! users (55 students each). In addition, an online survey was introduced to the 55 Kahoot! user students to investigate their perceptions on it. Survey and test score data were analyzed by appropriate tests using IBM-SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The level of significance was P < 0.05. Results:: Kahoot! enhanced Pathology understanding (83.6%), retaining knowledge (87.3%), made learning fun and motivating (89.1%). Other mentioned advantages of Kahoot! were practicing for exam (40%), simple and easy to use (36.4%), competitive (18.2%), self confidence booster (10.9%), forming a comprehensive image of the lecture (9%), quick (9%), and imagining skills booster (5.5%). Mentioned disadvantages included no explanation for the answers to questions (20%). A quarter of the students stated that the time limit for the questions was short (27.3%). Kahoot! use was significantly associated with better Pathology academic performance (P = 0.001), and it was not related to the general academic performance of the students (P = 0.06). Most users (85.4%) recommended its continuous future use. Conclusions::The study offers an endorsement to the use of Kahoot! for gamifying formative assessment of Pathology and can provide a basis for the design of an online Kahoot! -based continuous formative assessment plans implemented outside-classroom in the Pathology curricula.

“…Penggunaan media pembelajaran akan dapat terealisasi dengan adanya kemajuan teknologi, sehingga mempermudah untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Media pembelajaran seperti permainan atau game dapat memotivasi siswa dalam belajar (Bawa et al, 2018), (Martin et al, 2019). Penggunaan media pembelajaran selain media ular tangga digital telah menarik perhatian (Novita et al, n.d.)(2019) (Kuncahyono, 2018) dengan temuan bahwa media pembelajaran dapat meningkatkan keaktifan, kerjasama, dan kedisiplinan siswa dalam proses pembelajaran.…”

Kurikulum 2013 lebih menekankan keaktifan peserta didik, namun penerapan pembelajaran masih berpusat pada guru. Salah satu penyebab adalah kurangnya penggunaan media pembelajaran. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan upaya dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar dan menumbuhkan keaktifan siswa dengan penggunaan media ular tangga digital. Metode penelitian tindakan kelas digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Subjek penelitian siswa kelas IV berjumlah 35 siswa. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan 2 siklus, yang terdiri dari perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Siklus 2 dilakukan, apabila pada siklus 1 belum mencapai indikator keberhasilan pembelajaran. Pengumpulan data dan analisis data dilakukan dari hasil pelaksanaan pembelajaran dan observasi yang dilakukan kolaborator. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan hasil belajar dan perubahan sikap dengan penggunaan media game ular tangga digital. Peningkatan tersebut dibuktikan dengan angka rata-rata siklus 1, yaitu 74,42 meningkat menjadi 84,02 pada siklus 2, artinya terjadi peningkatan 9,6. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa media ular tangga digital dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar dan adanya perubahan aktivitas siswa pada proses pembelajaran. Hal ini dapat dikatakan bahwa pembelajaran dengan menggunakan media baik itu ular tangga digital maupun media pembelajaran lainnya dapat mengubah pembelajaran menjadi lebih aktif

“…In particular, it helped to a certain extent in technological facilities such as online courses provided by internet technology. However, it was not effective to learn with online courses (Martin, Silander and Rutter, 2019). Because of the lack of traditional education methods and online courses, educators have started to search for new ones, and consequently, computer games are thought to help in many areas of learning (Iacovides, 2012;Wu, Hou and Hwang, 2012).…”

The rapid change of computer and internet technology such as IoT (Internet of Things) or cloud computing have a serious impact on human life. Knowing the coding language is one of the way to keep up with this rapid change in computer and internet technology. This is why coding is seen as the new equivalent of terms such as thinking and producing, as well as being as important as spoken languages in recent times. One of the most important advantages of having coding knowledge is the possibility of finding jobs in almost every business area. Because of these advantages, the importance of having coding knowledge is gradually increasing. For this purpose, coding education has been added to the curriculum and started to be taught in many countries. This study examines the contribution of coding in education using computer games to make coding education more popular and easier. The main argument for the analysis of this study was the unsuccessful results of university students in coding courses. This study was conducted on two different groups in computer laboratory. In the first group, coding lessons and assignments were given by using computer games. However, the second group completed their education using classical educational materials. This study was carried out during a school term (almost 12 weeks) and the participation of the students between two groups, results of the exams, attendance and their interest in coding were compared accordingly. The analyses conducted mid-term and end of term reflected significant differences between two groups. Additionally, same results showed an increase in coding among the students in the group who were given coding training using games , and this interest was reflected in their exam results. Finally, the success rate of coding education through computer game was higher than the previous coding education. Considering that computer games have disadvantages as well as advantages, all analyses determined that the effect on computer games on coding education was significant.
