Research Overview
In Thailand, teenage pregnancy rate in this country is the highest in South-East Asia. Although Thailand has adopted a national policy on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), several problems related to implementation remain. Findings of different projects about sex education concluded that there is need to propose new methods for teaching sexuality education that stimulate analytical critical thinking and encourage discussions between students to raise awareness in topics related to sexuality. Digital Games-Based Learning (GBL) integrates gaming into learning experiences to increase engagement and motivation. This study aims to investigate and evaluate year 7 secondary school students’ experiences and views of GBL in their learning about CSE. The study design is based on a pre-designed prototype of an online GBL module in CSE. Study setting will be 6 secondary schools in Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand and the proposed number of participants is 1567 students and 12 secondary teachers.British Academy - Funder
