Classroom effect
Many researches related to entertainment and its various forms of effectiveness have been completed. In particular, the effect of implementing the concept of entertainment in the classroom environment has been studied on many occasions. Rita Gay and Gerald Marquez (20 16) studied the concepts of flip classroom and entertainment, in which students were assigned video lessons and podcasts instead of pre-class projects.

In a research conducted by Ruby Merrill Lynch Arroyo and Joyce ASING- cashman (20 16), this is an example of entertainment in the form of TV programs, which has been integrated into the education of math teachers. Subsequent results prove that entertainment can promote critical thinking and increase the potential of professionalism and growth mentality.
Similarly, Craig D. Cox et al. (20 17) conducted a study, which developed a mini series combining educational and entertainment elements and introduced it to pharmacy teachers. It effectively improved the confidence of the participants and won the honorary prize of the 20 15 teaching award of the American Pharmaceutical Association's Association of Innovative Colleges.
Amal Dandashi and others have also studied a system with disabled students, in which the idea of entertainment education is integrated through the use of games.
