Game Development as an Educational Strategy in Dentistry

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ProblemIn evening programs, most students work during the day and attend classes at night, which means they often arrive at the university already tired and, in many cases, lacking the energy to fully engage in learning.Engaging students in the evening Dentistry program has been a major challenge for teachers, as the combination of the complex content taught in the Head and Neck Anatomy course and the fatigue of students, who have worked all day, creates a scenario that hinders effective learning.To address this challenge, it's essential to adopt methods that deepen previously covered content without overloading students.Such approaches must be both enjoyable and engaging to be effective.
