摘要

The digital landscape has transformed educational delivery. Ongoing efforts are directed towards improving the delivery of educational content to facilitate effective knowledge and skill transfer. In recent years, game-based learning (GBL) has gained significant attention within the education sector. This pedagogical approach enables the integration of educational material into interactive game environments, offering a compelling medium through which school learners can be educated about cyber risks and encouraged to develop awareness of cyber safety. This research explores the integration of GBL with cyber safety content to promote awareness among South African learners. Using systematic literature reviews, it identifies common internet risks children face and key GBL design characteristics. The research applies thematic analysis to inform the development of an engaging and effective educational game.
