Abstract
This study investigates the impact of peer learning in enhancing collaboration (over competition) across educational settings, employing game-based learning and innovative exam retake strategies. Our methodology includes two primary components. First, we employ digital mini-games to encourage active engagement and collaborative problem-solving. This aspect is designed to highlight the benefits of working together towards common educational goals, suggesting that collaboration can make the learning process more enjoyable and effective. The second component involves an innovative examination strategy, where students have the opportunity to retake exams collaboratively after an initial individual attempt. This method aims to use the collective knowledge of the group, allowing students to enhance their understanding and academic outcomes through post-examination collaboration. By providing a space for students to share insights and tackle problems together, we seek to assess the impact of this collaborative learning approach on deepening and expanding their grasp of the subject matter. We have employed quantitative analyses of pre- and post-test scores and qualitative feedback from surveys and observations, intending to understand how collaborative learning influences student engagement and outcomes. This research tries to highlight the benefits of peer learning strategies in creating a more interactive and inclusive learning environment.
