Development of "Game of Contract" for Interactive Edutainment

Abstract

Parties in the construction industry legal relationship are officiated through construction contracts comprising principles and elements of contracting parties' obligations and management process. The contract is rather legaloriented, which is sometimes tricky to understand. Most of the students are struggling with the Professional Practice subject. Based on the preliminary survey, students encountered issues in understanding the conditions of the contract, and its standard clauses (81 clauses) are getting more complex and challenging. It leads to the dry subject syndrome. Games of Contract (GoC) is developed in gaining students' interest in understanding construction contracts in a leisure-learning environment throughgamification. GoC is a board game that provides a platform to offer the students an overview of the construction contract. GoC provides the information on the process of post-contract stages, from the site possession until the preparation of the final certificate. The board game is administered by answering questions related to the clauses in the contract. Additionally, the game is created to enhance the students' knowledge about the Post Contract Administration, which they can apply for their future endeavours in the construction industry. The novelty of the board game is significantly focusing on improving teaching and learning service to provide an atmosphere for students who are fun, motivated, and have high learning performance. Moreover, the continuous engagement with thegame-based learning system beyond the novelty effect relies on creating theengagement meaningful and beneficial for the students.
