Is gamification teaching desirable? What are the advantages and disadvantages compared with traditional teaching methods?

Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, many schools have begun to carry out teaching reform, and the traditional teaching methods can no longer meet the current educational forms, so online gamification teaching came into being. Various learning apps have become indispensable learning tools for students in their learning process. These learning apps all have a common feature. In order to make students feel fun in the learning process, apps contain certain game design elements, which makes many parents question whether such apps will make their children addicted to electronic brushing games and affect their eye health.

In traditional teaching, teachers usually give lectures and students attend lectures. This method is desirable for students who pay attention. Students can learn knowledge in the classroom, but now most children are very active and not interested in boring explanations, which makes the traditional classroom lose its advantage. Traditional classroom is characterized by boring and single-point teaching, and students are often not interested in what the teacher says, while gamification teaching can grasp students' fun and active psychology, so that students can have interest in learning and learn knowledge through games.

Gamification teaching is developed according to the characteristics of students. Due to the development of electronic equipment, most students like to play games now. Gamification teaching can enable students to acquire knowledge in the process of playing games. Nowadays, students, especially those in primary schools and junior high schools, are still immature and inactive. The traditional teaching method of hard irrigation will only make students feel bored, and over time, students will be tired of learning, while gamification teaching can stimulate students' interest, cultivate students' active learning and improve learning efficiency.

Everything has two sides. Game teaching has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. First of all, gamification teaching needs the help of electrical equipment. Some students will be interested in gamification teaching at first, and after getting used to this mode for a long time, they will use electronic devices such as mobile phones to do things other than study. Thirdly, gamification teaching requires students to face electronic equipment for a long time, which will do some harm to students' eyes; Finally, in gamification teaching, students can complete tasks online, and the problems they can't find can be found online, so there is less offline communication, which reflects students' interpersonal communication.
