Abstract

According to Prensky (2007), in the last 20 years, the so-called G-generation is livings in times of rapid development of science, advanced networking and a knowledge explosion. In these times, students improve their performance by learning in many ways. This study examined the factors of game based learning influencing students’ performance in higher education institution. So this study is proving that the drivers are needed to improve students’ performance. The research question and research objective is to determine the drivers of game based learning that affect students’ performance, and also to examine the relationship between the drivers of game based learning and students’ performance and finally to evaluate how far students will adopt game based learning in higher education institution. The methodology of this study used of quantitative methods. The analysis used is Frequency analysis, Descriptive analysis, Correlation analysis, Regression analysis and Reliability analysis. A questionnaire will be distributed to undergraduates in higher education institution such as UTeM, UiTM and MMU to collect the data. The population of respondents that answered the questionnaire is 500 respondents. The results of this study indicate all objectives and research questions are met and answered. So as a conclusion through the game based learning given to students, it can enhance the students’ performance such as grade point average (GPA). However, the integration of game based learning into learning ways also benefits from the establishment of an incentive policy and the undertaking of relevant studies.
