A watch-summarize-question gamified learning approach for oral health: learning achievement, motivation, and flossing skills
摘要
Flossing skills are critical to promoting oral health. While various technologies have been employed in previous research to teach flossing skills, their effectiveness remains unclear. To address this gap, this study proposed a Watch-Summarize-Question (WSQ) gamified learning approach to enhance oral health education with a focus on flossing skills. The study investigated the approach’s impact on learning achievement, learning motivation, and flossing skills performance.
MethodsA quasi-experimental study was adopted, with the experimental group using the WSQ gamified learning approach and the control group using a video-based learning method.
ResultsThe results revealed that the WSQ gamified learning approach significantly improved learning achievement in flossing knowledge compared with the video-based learning method. However, both groups demonstrated comparable effects on learning motivation and flossing skills performance.
ConclusionThese findings indicate that the WSQ gamified learning approach is a promising strategy for oral health promotion. Educators are encouraged to integrate appropriate technologies and learning strategies to effectively enhance learners’ flossing skills.
