Using a quasi-experimental research design, the research compared pre-test and post-test scores of comparison and treatment groups. The participants were carefully selected 7th-grade students from two sections to ensure equal representation. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and well-designed lesson plans, which included traditional lecture-based methods and game-based learning approaches. Statistical analyses, such as the split-half method and <em>t</em>-test, were utilized for data analysis, revealing significant score differences between the groups. The results showed a higher mean percentage score in the treatment group, supporting the effectiveness of game-based learning. However, students expressed concerns about the interactive nature of game-based learning. In summary, the study highlights the effectiveness of the game-based strategic learning approach in teaching heat transfer and offers valuable insights for evidence-based instructional practices.</p> Judy Ann Fideles, Mauricio Adlaon Copyright (c) 2025 Judy Ann Fideles, Mauricio Adlaon https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://tiikmpublishing.com/ojs/index.php/IJTL/article/view/137 Thu, 30 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0530
