Monotonous and old-fashioned teaching and learning activities make technology a fascinating aspect for teachers and even more so for students. Especially when technology is combined as an exciting and educational game that makes students feel a pleasant learning environment. DGBL (Digital Game-Based Learning) is a method that can be recommended to teachers. DGBL is a learning method that combines a fun learning method using games and technology. Students like technology especially when combined with games, which can excite them when learning.

The findings indicate that teachers prefer using technological devices for better outcomes in the teaching and learning process. Teachers found that using game-based learning in their classrooms made students more engaged and motivated. This led to a better overall learning experience.]]>
