Abstract

Recently, designing games for educational purpose has attracted much interest. Game-based learning (GBL) offers an alternative approach to learning that implements game elements in the learning environment. In addition, persuasive technology has been used to persuade users to change their attitudes and behaviours. In this digital era, the learning process can be more straightforward, effortless, and effective with the support of elements provided in game-based learning and persuasive technology. Realizing the high prevalence of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) cases nowadays and the negative effects CSA victims face, it is essential to provide knowledge about self-safety from sexual abuse to children by using appropriate learning programs. Although, at school, children are taught about personal safety in the subject of physical and health education, at their age, learning about safety should be delivered in a relaxed and entertaining but effective way. Therefore, this research aims to review appropriate game-based learning elements in designing a persuasive game-based learning model to create safety awareness for children from sexual abuse. A thorough study of concepts, existing related studies, elements, processes, and methods involved in game-based learning and persuasive technology have been carried out. Then, the information gathered has been analysed to formulate the persuasive GBL model for CSA safety. As a result, identified elements of learning, GBL and persuasive elements are then integrated and visualised in the suggestion model.
