Resumen de Adopting a Gamified Approach of Conducting Viva Voce in an Undergraduate Lab Module
Sam Boon Kiat Koh, Shueh Yee Tai, Fun Man Fung
A gamified approach toward Viva voce was implemented in a postlab activity to evaluate students in teams. In a game-show manner, students in teams of three select from an array of anonymized options to reveal a random question. They then chose one member of the team to answer. The assessor evaluated the team by the side instead of facing the students directly. The modified approach fostered collaboration among teammates and reduced stress felt by students in the Viva voce. This approach is effective because it removed the vis-à-vis presence of the assessor and reduced tension felt by students during the activity. We call this approach Viva la Vida.
