openTEL is pleased to announce that the June openAIED Special Interest Group will be a presentation on gamification in nurse education in Thailand by Dr On-Anong Thammajinda and Assistant Professor Kanyapat Chaeye of Payap University, Thailand.
Abstract
The presentation will cover game development, an online medical terms game for nursing students and Dr Thammajinda’s work related to GBL in nursing/healthcare. In nursing education, it is essential to encourage students to learn medical terms and be able to use them confidently. A medical terms game booklet was used as learning material to enhance nursing students’ knowledge in the previous study. Results revealed that the booklet enhanced student knowledge but was not exciting, challenging or rewarding as the booklet does not contain interactive media. Dr Thammajinda and Prof. Chaeye’s recent research aims to investigate how to develop an online medical terms game and the effectiveness of using the game to support and enhance the learning environment for nursing students at McCormick Faculty of Nursing, Payap University, Thailand.
