Strengthening Science Vocabulary Skills through Gamification and Hands-on Learning: A Community-based Action Research

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This community-based action research arises from the observed challenges in science vocabulary acquisition among students, identified through the observation made by science pre-service teachers and a science teacher. Limited vocabulary was found to hinder students' comprehension of scientific concepts and their engagement in learning activities. To address this issue, an intervention integrating gamification and hands-on learning was developed. Gamified activities were designed to make learning more interactive and enjoyable, while hands-on tasks aimed to contextualize vocabulary in practical applications. This community-based approach focused on creating strategies tailored to student needs, fostering a more dynamic and engaging science learning environment. The study highlights the importance of observation-driven intervention to address specific educational challenges effectively.
