Description:GAMIFICATION-ENABLED MANAGERIAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates generally to educational technology, and more specifically to a system and method for facilitating experiential and managerial learning via playing a game. The system uses interactive modules to present tasks, facilitate communication, provide feedback, and adjust learning content based on past team performance.
Background
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The education landscape is undergoing profound transformation driven by the evolution of learning paradigms and technology advancements. Traditional learning methods, largely reliant on unidirectional knowledge transmission, are gradually making way for more dynamic and interactive approaches that better cater to learners' individual needs and real-world applications. Two such pedagogical approaches gaining significant traction in modern education are experiential and managerial learning.
[0004] Experiential learning emphasizes the process of learning through experience. It is premised on the idea that individuals learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process rather than being passive recipients of information. Managerial learning, on the other hand, focuses on cultivating managerial attitudes and skills. It encourages learners to develop initiative, take risks, solve problems creatively, and work effectively in teams, mirroring the challenges faced in real-world managerial situations.
[0005] These two learning approaches share many similarities, notably the emphasis on group activities, interactive learning, and continuous feedback. Group activities such as gaming foster collaboration and communication among learners, fostering a team-oriented work culture similar to what one would experience in a business environment. Interactions, both within the team and with the learning material, facilitate deeper understanding and better retention of knowledge. Continuous feedback on played games, meanwhile, serves to guide learners, offering them insights into their strengths and weaknesses and enabling them to iteratively improve their performance.
[0006] However, the implementation of these learning approaches in conventional educational settings presents certain challenges. Firstly, organizing group gaming activities and facilitating effective communication among learners can be difficult, particularly in large or dispersed groups. Secondly, providing timely, personalized feedback can be resource-intensive and hard to scale, especially for teachers juggling large class sizes. Lastly, adjusting learning content based on past performance is rarely practiced due to the static nature of most learning resources and curriculam.
[0007] Fortunately, advancements in technology offer a promising solution to these challenges. More specifically, educational technology, or edtech, can facilitate the implementation of experiential and managerial learning methods by leveraging the power of digital tools. These tools can foster interaction, provide real-time feedback, and dynamically adjust learning content based on learners' performance. However, there is a lack of edtech solutions that seamlessly integrate gamification into a cohesive system to facilitate experiential and managerial learning.
[0008] The present invention aims to address this gap by introducing a system and method specifically designed to support experiential and managerial learning, via gaming. By harnessing digital technologies, this invention seeks to overcome the inherent challenges associated with implementing these learning methods in traditional educational settings and, in doing so, provide a more engaging and effective learning experience for learners.
[0009] All references, including publications, patent applications, and patents, cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each reference were individually and specifically indicated to be incorporated by reference and were set forth in its entirety herein.
[00010] It also shall be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. This invention can be achieved by means of hardware including several different elements or by means of a suitably programmed computer. In the unit claims that list several means, several ones among these means can be specifically embodied in the same hardware item. The use of such words as first, second, third does not represent any order, which can be simply explained as names.
Summary

[00020] In an embodiment, the management learning module adjusts subsequent tasks based on past team performance. Using data generated from previous tasks, the system can identify patterns in learners' performance and adjust future tasks to target specific areas for improvement. Such dynamic adjustment of learning content represents a significant advancement over traditional static learning resources, allowing for a more personalized and effective learning experience.
[00021] In an embodiment, the method complements the system by outlining a process for facilitating experiential and managerial learning. The process begins with presenting team members with a gaming task via the user interface. Next, the system facilitates communication and collaboration among team members as they work on the tasks. The system then evaluates the team's performance based on their interaction and gaming task completion. Feedback is provided based on the evaluation, guiding the team towards improved performance. Lastly, the system adjusts the presented tasks based on past team performance, allowing the team to learn from past actions and refine their collaborative and managerial skills.
[00022] Overall, the invention implements experiential and managerial learning methods via gamification. By integrating a range of digital tools into a system, the invention fosters interaction, provides real-time feedback, and dynamically adjusts learning content based on learners' performance. This contributes to a more engaging and effective learning experience, better preparing learners for the challenges and opportunities of management.
