First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether playing a Gimkit game after a regular lab class helps first-year nursing students learn about the respiratory system. 114 students were split into two groups: one got the game, the other didn't. Researchers measured their motivation and test scores to see if the game made a difference.
