From this topic, I’ve learned that assessing student learning through gaming and simulations goes beyond traditional quizzes and tests. These tools allow educators to measure how learners apply knowledge, solve problems, and make decisions in dynamic, real-world-like scenarios. Assessments in this format can provide deeper insights into critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability rather than just memorization.
I intend to apply this by incorporating performance-based assessments into learning activities. For example, instead of asking students to explain a concept, I would design a simulation where they demonstrate their understanding by solving a challenge or completing a task. This makes the assessment both engaging and authentic.
