Who Benefited Most from Game-Based Learning in Special Education Settings?

In this study, we compared special education students based on their functioning levels and gender in order to investigate who benefited the most from game-based learning. The results indicated that the low-functioning group improved significantly in both speed and accuracy when compared to the no-game group. Further, the boys’ group increased considerably in speed only while the girls’ group did not show a significant difference between the game group and the control group. The implications of this study are discussed in greater detail below.
