Description

Abstract
 
This article focuses on a comparative study between conventional methods and serious games, and their impact on learning and motivation. Two hundred and fifty-one jobseekers including 130 enjoying an edutainment and 121 enjoying a conventional counseling, participated in the study. In addition, we conducted 157 interviews with counselors of professional insertion that accompanied these jobseekers. Our results show a significant difference between serious games and conventional method. Indeed, serious games enable better learning and a stronger motivation than conventional methods and positive impact on jobseekers’s professional insertion.
