GATE:VET

Utilisation de la GAmification dans l'enseignement dans les écoles d'EFP

Discover everything you need to know about game-based learning and how to gamify your classroom for motivating, exciting and diversified lessons for your students.

Learning should be fun and the use of game-based learning activities in the classroom can be easy. Games can enhance the learning experience and playing can function as an active learning activity. Students are more motivated to learn when their creativity is stimulated. It is great to include some gamified materials and activities in your teaching practice, but it is sometimes difficult to find suitable materials. You may have asked yourself questions like: What’s with all the terms and theories? Do I have the time to get my head around this?

We believe you can definitely get your head around this and it requires less time than you would think. With our project GATE:VET (an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership) we want to support teachers at vocational schools in expanding their methodological repertoire. We want to show you how you can enrich your classes – from introducing basic gamified learning activities into your everyday practice to developing elaborate serious games, whichever way suits you best.

The GATE:VET app is itself gamified and based on a micro learning approach. Organized as a toolbox, short articles on relevant topics as well as mini-games, flash cards and quizzes are available to help you better understand game-based learning. Diverse activities are designed to develop your abilities to implement gamified activities in your teaching practice. The activities require minimal time and you can monitor your progression on the leader board. You can also collect points, badges and awards.
