| Summary: | There is an increased used of game-based student response system (GSRS) such as
Quizziz and Kahoot! in Malaysian Pharmacy Schools where it has become a tool to
increase motivation, engagement and facilitate collaborative learning. Although it is
widely used in pharmacy schools across government and private Universities in
Malaysia, there is little evidence to understand pharmacy students and their instructor’s
perceptions and experiences on using Kahoot! in pharmacy subjects such as
pharmaceutics and pharmacology. This qualitative study adopted a phenomenological
approach to evaluate students’ and instructors’ experiences through in-depth interview
sessions(N=11) to understand their change of attitude, experience, and perception of
Kahoot! in terms of motivation and teamwork. This research contributes to the
literature by providing an insight into students’ and instructors’ perceived value,
usefulness, and overall experience of Kahoot! though qualitative data analysis. The
highest influence reported on increased motivation, classroom engagement, teamwork
spirit and enhanced learning experience by the students and this is consistent with
available literature. Although Kahoot! helped students during revisions and preparing
for final examinations, the effect on academic performance was not significant and
unknown, The outcome of this study provides an opportunity for gamified educational
platforms such as Kahoot to be incorporated as part of the teaching pedagogy to sustain
students’ attention, focus, engagement and participation and teamwork spirit in
addition to an enjoyable learning experience of pharmacy students in Malaysian
Universities.
