Abstract

Memory card games are well-known for everyone. Their main goal is to find matching pairs among flipped cards by simultaneously turning two cards up. In each round information obtained and memorized from the previous round is used to predict matching pair positions. Whilst playing, a player’s thinking, memory, concentration, and attention skills can be improved, therefore, incorporating it into the learning process may be beneficial to the learner. In this research, we present a method for learning terminology from a scientific context by playing an AI-generated memory card game. We employ a general-purpose conversation chatbot, ChatGPT to generate the keyword-description pairs from a given scientific text. The primary purpose of our study is to evaluate the outcomes, with respect to their scientific accuracy and educational value. Consequently, we present a straightforward approach to constructing a game that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge by students in an enjoyable and playful way.
