The Development Process of Board Game Innovation for Learning

Abstract

In the 21st century, the world has turned into a society of information and communication technology, causing the ways of living, and learning of people in society to change rapidly. In the educational system, innovations are implemented in teaching and learning to improve the quality and potential of learning. Innovation is something that produces positive results when implemented and can solve problems, increase efficiency, and reduce labor and time burdens as well. Board game is one of learning innovation that helps enhance learning of learners by being able to change a person's behavior as a result of practice or experience of game mechanics. Board game was developed as a tool for learning until it became a new educational innovation that allows players to develop cognitive skills (hard skills) along with emotional skills (soft skills).

This article aims to present the process of developing board game innovation for learning, consisting

of 6 steps as follows: 1) knowledge acquisition, 2) brainstorming, 3) board game prototype creation, 4) experimentation, 5) reflection and 6) the development stage, in order to promote knowledge and skills in creating and designing innovative board game to develop innovative learning in the 21st century. It is a process that encourages board game developers to attain the necessary skills of innovators, and able to bring creative works to further the business in a tangible way. In addition, it also creates a concept based on the PLC process as a way of developing educational innovation in learning management for students to achieve the highest efficiency and effectiveness in learning.
