Using serious games to prime safety students for occupational noise exposure risk assessment

“…Serious games, as described by , are games designed for education and training, but can also be commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games that have pedagogy introduced during learning activities (Wittrin et al, 2020;. Serious games have gained significant attention as a promising solution to enhance learner engagement in various domains .…”

“…Serious games have gained significant attention as a promising solution to enhance learner engagement in various domains . By leveraging the power of technology and gamification principles, serious games offer an immersive and interactive learning experience that can captivate learners' attention, foster active participation, and act as a motivational tool (Corti, 2006;Wittrin et al, 2020;. Within the context of safety education and training, serious games have shown the potential to create realistic and engaging simulations that allow learners to practice hazard identification, safety procedures, risk assessment skills in a controlled and engaging environment .…”

“…Although there is growing interest in serious games for safety education and training, there remains a gap in the literature regarding the effectiveness of using a serious games-based approach to prime learners for risk assessment. Previous studies have provided initial evidence of the potential benefits of serious games in enhancing engagement and learning outcomes in other educational contexts (e.g., Wittrin et al, 2020). However, the specific application of serious games for risk assessment in occupational settings requires further investigation.…”
