Evaluation of PowerPlayer game
The use of the game PowerPlayer is a method of working with students, which belongs to activating methods of education, which are didactic games.
Games used in the process of teaching - learning force participants to make sequential decisions in subsequent rounds and help make players a deeper reflection on the discussed issues.
This form of teaching not only provides learners with the knowledge, but also develops their attitudes and skills, such as the ability for teamwork, decision-making skills and analytical skills (Gaweł, Pietrzykowski 2014; Gaweł 2014).
To achieve the desired teaching and educational results, the use of the game in school practice should undergo didactic measurement and evaluation.

Didacitic measurement and evaluation
checking learner’s school achievements student in relation to the curriculum (objectives of the curriculum)
comparing the knowledge and skills achieved by the learners with those planned to learn
Didactic measurement
the systematic study of the value or characteristics of a particular program, action or object from the point of view of adopted criteria in order to improve their development and better understanding. Evaluation is a study always intended to attain the goal (Korporowicz, 1997)
the process of gathering information and their interpretation in order to make decisions; (Disciplined evaluation) (Komorowska, 1995)

The educational value but also the organization of activities with the use of the game, its attractiveness, the way of playing the game by the teacher, and the attitude of learners towards the active learning methods, may influence achieved learning outcomes.
Evaluation leads to gaining feedback from the game users, so that in the future you can improve the quality of education with its use.

Even the simplest feedback from the learners can improve the quality of our teaching activities. To receive feedback you can create your own questionnaire.
Formulate 5-7 sentences (statements) that you will put in the following learner’s evaluation sheet. Select such statements that will allow to get the most information.
