The conceptual change approach has been a prevalent theoretical foundation for comprehending students' acquisition of scientific knowledge. Despite its extensive use, only a limited number of studies have employed this framework to examine the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL). The GBL was utilized to teach 101 middle school students…
