Development of Game-based learning Application for First Aid Awareness

Abstract

First aid skills are highly essential and a must-learn basic ability by everyone. Accidents can happen anytime in anywhere, that's why first aid is needed. But, due to lack of knowledge, practice, courage to do basic first aid techniques, every year there could be 150,000 deaths. This study aims to develop a game-based learning focusing and incorporating application and practices of first aid for information dissemination of proper emergency first aid and proper instructions on how to handle a situation and act on the situation when they encounter minor accidents. The system also apply game based learning approach with Gale Shapley Algorithm which use to the corresponding for taking input as a preference outline and outputs a matching of different objects needed in the accident. The application will educate and instruct the users on how to perform proper first aid where it has an interaction between the user and application, while the users experience to acts like in a real world. The proposed system can apply Agile Model for the development of the system in which have a consistent user review or comments, non-stop development and the capacity to adapt incorporate changes are emphasized to significantly reducing project risk. After the developmental stage, the researchers will evaluate using experimental design to measure the effectiveness of the system to assess if the students learn from the system. This study can be possesses significant potential for increasing students learning in term of some accident occurrence and enhancing their learning effectiveness using game based learning. It can be develop and implemented as teaching material in education especially in health related units or courses.
