In my doctoral research, I investigate the role and potential of game development in education. As part of this work, I am designing a comprehensive curriculum and teaching materials based on game development-based learning. My aim is to give students a chance to experience the entire development process, which includes game design, modelling, creating animations and the programming of the game itself. The research examines how this methodological approach affects students’ creativity, motivation, and academic performance. The study explores its applicability in both secondary and higher education environments.
