202416 citationsOpen accessAlexandria University

Abstract

The experiences of both students and faculty demonstrated that GBL can enhance classroom learning and complement traditional teaching approaches in health sciences higher education. GBL's safe, immersive environment lets students practice many generic skills, boosting interest, motivation, and peer-mediated learning. Faculty and students shared their GBL experiences, responsibilities, and enthusiasm. Health sciences higher education institutions should consider ways to increase flexibility in providing resources and training to educators who want to build and use the GBL approach in their classroom.
