Doctoral Research
Christian Gamification and Biblical Learning
Dr. Olajide A. Aderinto’s doctoral research examined whether Christian gamification could serve as an effective method for biblical learning rather than functioning merely as entertainment. The study used a quasi-experimental approach involving experimental and comparison groups of secondary-school students and examined changes in learners’ biblical knowledge and perceptions after exposure to Christian gamification.
The reported findings showed meaningful improvement among learners exposed to the Christian gamification approach, supporting its potential as a practical and effective method for increasing engagement with biblical content and strengthening learning and understanding.
The research therefore provides academic support for the deliberate use of well-designed games as teaching tools within Christian education and discipleship contexts.
What the Research Suggests
Five insights from the study context.
Learning
The research findings support Christian gamification as a viable approach to facilitating biblical learning and understanding.
Participation
Game-based learning can create opportunities for interaction, discussion and active involvement.
Application
The findings strengthen the case for using games deliberately as teaching tools rather than treating them only as entertainment.
Discipleship
The research provides an academic foundation for the practical Games Discipleship methodology used in Christian learning environments.
