How Physics Masterclasses can benefit from Gamification Elements
Credit : ChETEC-INFRA
Abstract
The newly developed Nuclear Astrophysics masterclass includes some gamified elements like puzzle, card game and board game in which game rules are inspired by physics.
It appears that gamified contents have a greater learning effect as it build strong associations through fun activities and shift the strict learning purpose into a playful objective.
