Abstract:
With the development of the digital age, progress in innovation, and the pattern towards more experiential learning designs, simulation games are progressively used by pedagogical organizations today. This study uses a science simulation game, and evaluates the influence of this active learning method on education operation management. Data was gathered from 308 students in private schools, in south Lebanon, on which factor analysis, analysis of variance, and t-test were used. The findings revealed that simulation gaming provides competence and deeper level of learning. The study concludes that the use of simulation gaming in education would go a long way in enhancing students’ perceptions toward the instructions, and stimulate their interest in learning science.
