Game-based Learning Is Merely a Fad
Solomon Robles, Ed.D., Professor of Education at Winborne College
Workplace Training Journal
Electronic learning, or “eLearning,” was sold to many CEOs as the wave of the
corporate future. There’s no need to hire human beings to train staff, managers were
told. All the information you require can be accessed online — at a reduced cost for the
company, and more flexible scheduling for employees. It sounded too good to be true
— and it was. As one writer noted, “most eLearning is nothing more than online lectures
or course notes.” To teach skills beyond basic facts, the person-to-person method is still
more effective than any form of electronic learning.
And yet, along comes the next eLearning fad: “gamification,” which means using video
games to teach. Video-game-based learning is already widely used in schools, and has
spread to corporations as a tool for training workers and motivating customers. This
approach is even used in the military. But does it work?
Most research on game-based learning has looked at schools. Results have been
inconsistent but not especially encouraging. One 2013 study found that “students who
completed the gamified experience got better scores in practical assignments and in
overall score, but … performed poorly on written assignments and participated less
during class activities.” This makes sense: If you’re playing video games, you are not
developing the so-called “soft skills” —also known as “people skills” – that are
necessary for success in any job. In a traditional classroom, on the other hand, students
can ask questions and engage with the teacher and with other learners.
In the workplace, game-based learning is yet another wedge driven between younger
employees, who might applaud gamification, and older workers, who may now feel
obsolete. What’s more, the prestigious magazine The Economist points out that “many
of the aspects of gamification that do work are merely old ideas in trendy new clothes.”
For example, the points and other rewards that are selling features of video games are
just online versions of sales contests or “employee of the month” perks. Like other
trends, game-based learning is likely to fade away as the next new teaching fad
appears on the horizon.
Game-based Learning: An Effective Training Strategy

Innovative Trends in the Workplace
Already a multi-billion-dollar business, game-based learning in the corporate world
continues to grow at a steady pace, and is here to stay. Executives are smart — they
are not going to waste resources on training methods that don’t work. Let’s look at some
of the advantages of “gamifying” workplace training.
First, many people are “gamers” in their non-work lives, so playing video games is
something they are already comfortable with and enjoy. This makes game-based
learning in the workplace more attractive and motivating than traditional instruction. And
according to the Entertainment Software Association, despite the image of video-game
players as teenaged boys, “the average gamer is now 37 years old.” Further challenging
the stereotype, nearly half of gamers are girls or women. Even 29 percent of those over
age 50 are getting into the video-game habit. Teenagers and young men, in fact, make
up only 15 percent of the over 190 million video-game users in the United States.
Evidence supporting the effectiveness of game-based learning is starting to emerge.
Researchers point out that video games have “compelling storylines, attainable
challenges, rewards, recognition and control,” all of which stimulate learners. A 2012
report on game-based learning notes that “there is research evidence demonstrating
positive impact on higher order skills such as decision making and problem solving.”
The report adds that using video games can also reduce training time, an advantage for
both managers and employees.
Finally, unlike one-time training in a classroom, game-based learning is infinitely
repeatable. If employees miss something or need more practice, they can always start
the game again, using the feedback provided by the game to gauge their progress. This
leads to a sense of accomplishment and creates a supportive learning environment,
which is what we all want in an education strategy.
