Summary

This study tested whether using an online game (gamification) helps dental students learn oral pathology better than standard lectures. 168 students took part, each experiencing both teaching methods. Researchers measured test scores right after and one month later, plus student satisfaction. The goal was to see if adding game elements boosts learning and engagement.
