Enhanching Disaster Preparedness Through Gamification: the Mission: Resilience Program in Kendari City High-risk Schools

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to enhance disaster preparedness knowledge and skills among high school teachers and students in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, through a gamified educational approach called "Mission: Resilience." With the recognition of Kendari as a high-risk area for earthquakes, floods, and landslides, the project leverages gamification to improve engagement and learning outcomes in disaster readiness. The research involves a Participatory Rural Appraisal method, employing quizzes, flashcards, and simulations to deliver training on hazard mitigation, emergency response, and evacuation processes. Results from the pre and post-tests indicate a significant increase in disaster preparedness awareness and skills among participants. Additionally, the study confirms the effectiveness of integrating practical disaster simulations within the school curriculum. Ultimately, "Mission: Resilience" serves as a model for sustainable educational practices in disaster-prone regions, emphasizing continuous training and infrastructure enhancement to ensure long-term community resilience.
