PROPOSAL
1. Working Title of Research
Analyzing the importance of teaching the Relevance of Game-Based Learning to Preschool and
Primary Teachers with special focus on the needs of students with learning Disabilities
2. Introduction
This section of the proposal introduces the audiences to the topic and provides a brief
overview of the need of executing this study. In this following section, the rationale, research
aims and the questions that will be evaluated in the study are discussed.
2.1. Rational of the Proposed Topic
In recent time, there is an increasing need for the teachers to provide the needed aid to
keep the learners engaged with their learning. This need is more significant with the students
having learning disabilities. The use of newer technology in education has gradually become a
paramount need to ensure that the students remain engaged with the study. However, the
appropriate use of new technology or processes requires the teachers to know and learn about the
same first, so that they can make an effective use of the same in teaching the students (Cojocariu
and Boghian 2014). The teachers of the preschool are needed to be properly trained while
handing the student with learning disabilities (Lester et al. 2014). Through this undertaken study,
the researcher aims in analyzing the need of teaching the teachers, the importance of game based
learning so as to improve the learning experience of students having learning disabilities. Thus,
the undertaken study is justified as it will provide the audiences with an idea of relevance of

teaching game based education and the process in which game based education can be
implemented in preschool level by providing appropriate training to the teachers.
Both traditional and digital games have the potential of captivating the students’
concentration and engagement for a long time (All, Castellar and Van Looy 2016). Digital games
can therefore be designed as a learning tool for the students with learning disability and
therefore, conducting this research is of paramount importance.
2.2. Research Aim
The research aims to analyze the need of teaching about game based education to the
teachers of pre-school to aid the learning process of students with learning disabilities.
2.3. Research Questions
The proposed study will evaluate the following research questions-
1. Why is game-based leaning important for pre-school and primary teachers?
2. How can game-based learning help teaching the students with learning disabilities?
3. What are the benefits and disadvantages of game based learning?
4. What are the recommended strategies for application of game based education in
preschool?
3. Identification of Previous Research in the Field
