简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a board game-based serious game as a learning strategy to improve knowledge and study motivation on antibiotics and bacteria topics in undergraduate dental students at Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the "D'Antibiotika Academy" board game lead to higher post-test scores compared to traditional handout-based learning?
- Does the board game improve students' study motivation on antibiotics and bacteria topic?
Researchers will compare the board game intervention group to the traditional handout (control) group to see if the game-based approach provides superior learning outcomes and higher student engagement.
Participants will:
- Complete a pre-test to measure their baseline knowledge of bacteria and antibiotics.
- Participate in a learning session using either the "D'Antibiotika Academy" board game or a conventional handout.
- Complete a post-test 1 and post-test 2 immediately after the session to measure immediate knowledge gain.
- Switch groups (crossover) after a washout period to ensure all participants experience both methods.
- Complete a study motivation questionnaire after the completion of the sessions.
详细描述
Study Design and Setting:
This study was a single-blind crossover randomized controlled trial conducted at Universitas Indonesia from September to December 2025. The participants (n=101) were undergraduate dental students from the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia. Participants were stratified by academic year and then assigned to either the HO-BG (Handout then Board Game) or BG-HO (Board Game then Handout) group using stratified random sampling. Ethical approval was secured from the Dental Research Ethics Committee, Universitas Indonesia (54/Ethical Approval/FKGUI.IX/2025).
Interventions:
The study compared two learning media with identical content regarding antibiotic classification, mechanisms of action, resistance, selection, bacterial classification, and quorum sensing:
- Board Game (D'Antibiotika Academy): An interactive game played in groups of 4-5 students.
- Handout: A digital text-based learning material for independent study.

主要结局
Knowledge Score
时间窗: -) [Day 1] baseline (pre-test) -) [Days 2-3] Intervention phase 1 (2 days), followed by Post-test 1 -) [Days 4-10] Washout periods (up to 7 days) -) [Days 11-12] Intervention Phase 2 (2 days), followed by Post-test 2
A knowledge assessment consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions, with 20 questions dedicated to antibiotic topics and 20 questions to bacterial topics. The maximum score is 100, where higher scores indicate better knowledge acquisition. This assessment was used on Pre-Test, Post-Test 1 and Post-Test 2.
