This is evident as they plan their lessons meticulously to ensure that their students are actively engaged in some form of activity or preparing for a task. The purpose of the paper is to examine the advantages, obstacles, and impact of using games on student engagement and involvement throughout the learning process. The findings will reveal that game-based learning has a profound and positive outcome on student level of motivation, comprehension, and retention of newly taught concepts. © 2014 IEEE.enPermission to reuse abstract has been secured from Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.EngagementGame-based learningMotivationTeachingExploratory studiesLearning processStudent engagementStudent levelsStudentsConference PaperCopyright : 2014 IEEE.
