The University of Central Florida has announced that according to research, students using Tabula Digita’s DimensionM educational video games scored higher on math. The students that used the edutainment programs over the 18 week study scored significantly higher on district math benchmark tests than students in the control group.
“These research results are remarkable and support previous studies which have concluded that interactive games are more effective on learners’ cognitive gains than traditional classroom instruction alone,” said Ntiedo Etuk, CEO and co-founder of Tabula Digita. “We are teaching a new generation of students, which requires unconventional teaching strategies be put into practice in the classroom. And when schools use our games, the student benefits speak for themselves – a greater desire to learn and higher test scores.”
This study proves once again what common sense should tell you. Students are going to learn more when they’re having fun. Edutainment is almost always going to get students more involved and more willing to participate in the learning process.
