LogistiQuest as a Tool for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Cargo Project Management

Objective - Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been recognized as an effective pedagogical approach that enhances students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. Methodology - A qualitative study involving 73 students who played LogistiQuest highlights the game's effectiveness in fostering active learning, teamwork, and the application of logistics theories to practice. Findings - This paper explores how LogistiQuest, a board game designed for logistics education, aligns with PBL principles by immersing players in real-world logistics challenges. Through gameplay, students engage in strategic decision-making, crisis management, and resource allocation, simulating the complexities of supply chain and logistics operations. Novelty - The findings indicate that LogistiQuest serves as a valuable educational tool for logistics management, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world problem-solving.
