Implementarea principiilor de învăţare prin joc în educaţie [Articol]

Abstract

The accelerated evolution of technology has significantly transformed the educational landscape, leading to a proliferation of digital tools used in both formal and informal learning contexts. While existing educational platforms facilitate content delivery, resource sharing, and teacher-student interaction, they often fall short in fostering deep engagement and active learning. A critical examination reveals structural and pedagogical limitations—such as the lack of authentic interactivity, narrative coherence, and adaptive reward systems—which hinder the completion of a holistic learning cycle and reduce the overall effectiveness of the educational process. This research aims to address these gaps by designing and developing a functional prototype of a game-based educational platform that integrates an innovative learning cycle: discovery, analysis, memorization, and evaluation. Grounded in cognitive and psychopedagogical theory, the study investigates the impact of game mechanics on motivation, attention, and information retention. The proposed solution seeks to transform learning into an immersive, student-centered experience, with the potential to be scaled across disciplines and implemented within the formal education system.
