Hazagora Game vs Lecture: Disaster Resilience Scores for 60 School Children in Pakistan

60 students in Peshawar, Pakistan participated in an experimental study comparing a serious board game to traditional lectures for disaster risk education. Resilience scores for the game group showed a significant improvement from 18.6 to 31.5, while the lecture group improved moderately from 20.17 to 24.47. The dataset, authored by Mushtaq Ahmad Jan and shared under CC-BY-4.0, contains the results of this 2026 study analyzing the efficacy of gamification.

Use Cases

• Compare learning efficacy between gamified and traditional instruction based on pre- and post-test resilience scores.
• Analyze variance in educational outcomes based on the experimental and control group structure described.
• Model the impact of interactive learning tools on knowledge retention and engagement as indicated by the study's findings.

Strengths

• Experimental design with a control group (N=30) and an experimental group (N=30) allows for comparative analysis.
• Specific quantitative results are provided, including mean score improvements and standard deviations (e.g., SD=2.54 for the game group).
• Clear methodological details, including the use of ANOVA and LSD post-hoc tests with SPSS 24.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• The dataset's scope is limited to a single school in Peshawar, Pakistan, which may affect generalizability.
