INTRODUCTIONWhat is this project about:We want to create a Medical education system that encourages activeparticipation in class for a fun learning environment.

Objective: This study aims to encourage students to do Self-DirectedLearning, through the use of interventions. In particular, gamification tocreate a relaxed environment for an effective and enjoyable learningexperience.

Hypothesis: Interventions will increase students’ MOTIVATION to do SELFDIRECTED LEARNING.

Quotes from students:“I thought the games really made class participation more enjoyable and motivated me to revise beforehand so I could contribute.”“Introduction of “games” and “fun” into tutorial sessions create a more relaxed environment, enabling more lively and honest discussions to take place.”“The student presentations were particularly useful for me and motivated me to find out more about the segment I was presenting on. This is due to the fact that I wanted to give a good and useful presentation for my classmates.” “The student presentations were useful both in self- directed learning and learning from my peers.” , “Lessons were very interactive”

-There were inconclusive evidence that our intervention works, based on the analysis of the PRO-SDL survey results . It could be due to the fact that the participants were already very motivated to begin with.-Nonetheless, participants enjoyed the process based on the feedback, and we have garnered mostly positive feedback.-CA results of participants performed better than cohort.

Even though there were inconclusive evidence onincreasing motivation among our participants based on ourhypothesis, we have successfully created a medicaleducation system that encourages active participation inclass for a fun learning environment.
