Abstract

This study examines the suitability of games and simulation to be applied to online learning. It aims to generate a new concept for online learning activities and provide interactive learning, particularly for elementary students. The new idea is presented in a certain method that can be adjusted to the existing learning strategies. This research was conducted by collecting related literature containing relevant ideas to the indicators that must be achieved through game and simulation, namely: learning concepts, learning theories, and learning strategies. After the literature analysis, it can be inferred that this study offered a new method of online learning that is more effective and can replace rigid virtual learning methods with a new fun learning concept for elementary school students during the pandemic.

Keywords: game, simulation, learning method, online learning
