    Janette Morgan argues that game-based learning is effective for improving skills like decision-making, while Solomon Robles believes face-to-face learning is better. Morgan supports her view with statistics showing people of all ages play games and that games improve higher-order thinking. She also argues games provide rewards and feedback that allow repeat practice. In contrast, Robles only claims game-based learning is a trend that will fade without proving its ineffectiveness.

    As 21st century is an IT era,

    technological advances such as game-based learning are


    implemented as learning strategies for both students and
    employees. However, people are still debating whether
    game-based learning or gamification is really successful in
    learning or not. Solomon Robles, Ed.D who is an Professor
    of Education at Winborne College, suggests that game-
    based learning is not as effective as person-to-person
    method since it can reduce people’s improving soft skills. On
    the other hand, Janette Morgan, Ph.D., Professor of
    Business, Saratoga State University, proposes that
    gamification provides positive impacts on learning because
    it can both enhance people’s decision-making skill and
    become repeatable leaning for people. From my point of
    view, I agree with the argument of Janette Morgan which is
    better-supported with certain facts, practicable thinking and
    reasonable supposition.
    Firstly, Morgan describes assured
    statistics in her argument to prove that not only youngsters
    but also adults are familiar with playing games. In
    accordance with the Entertainment Software Association,
    we can see that the average age of a gamer is 37 years old
    and 29 percent of people over age 50 get used to the video-
    game habit. Only 15 percent of the over 190 million video-
    game users in U.S are young people. These statistics can
    support that all people with different ages can use game-
    based learning effectively on their learning. Conversely,
    Solomon states that only younger employees will applaud
    gamification since older employee does not have
    technological skills to learn by playing games.
    Secondly, Morgan expresses her
    logical thoughts about the advantages people can get from
    gamification, in her argument. She points out that video
    games possess many pros such as compelling storylines,
    attainable challenges, rewards, recognition and control
    which can stimulate leaners. Moreover, she adds the fact in
    2002 report, that game-based learning offers many positive
    impacts on higher order skills such as improving decision-
    making skill or problem-solving skill and reducing training
    time. From these points, we can understand the benefits of
    gamification obviously. In contrast, Solomon only conveys
    that game-based learning is just a trend and it will fade
    away soon due to lack of effectiveness on people.
    Finally, Morgan reasonably
    demonstrates her assumptions on the game-based
    learning’s success in his argument. In the conclusion, she
    mentions that game-based learning favors people
    repeatable leaning that cannot be allowed in person-to-
    person method. People can start the games again and fix
    their needs in this progress by getting feedback from the
    game. According to this assumption, we can assume that we
    can create supportive learning environment if people can
    seek all of the benefits of gamification and practice them in
    learning usefully. Unlike Morgan’s assumption, Solomon
    thinks that in-person learning is more convenient for people
    and he portrays his reasons in the forms of his one sided-
    opinions in his argument.
