For example‚ the studies by Kaufman (1976)‚ McKenney (1962‚ 1963)‚ Raia (1966) and Wolfe and Guth (1975) found superior results for game-based groups versus case groups either in course grades‚ performance on concepts‚ examinations‚ or goal-setting exercises. Although anecdotal evidence suggests that students seem to prefer games over other‚ more traditional methods of instruction‚ reviews
