Learning heat equation through games / Aida Afrina Khusli ... [et al.].

Students have difficulty comprehending the heat equation's topic since standard teaching approaches frequently fall short of making the connection between mathematical ideas and actual world [1]. According to [2], many students believe that mathematics is challenging, which reduces their excitement and weakens their ability to solve problems. This intensifies emotional tiredness and blocks the growth of critical thinking skills necessary for solving problems in the real world (Kartika et al., 2020). To address these issues, the study adopts a proactive action by seeking to determine the suitable partial differential equation (PDE) models emphasising the heat equation and its complex elements. This phase is essential for giving students a basis for a more useful and applied comprehension of the heat equation. Furthermore, the study intends to use the separation of variables (SOV) methods to solve the heat equation and include it in an instructional game.
