(Gymnasium of Monemvasia “Giannis Ritsos”, Greece)

Abstract: Dilemma-based learning (DBL) is an educational approach that utilizes dilemmas in order to improve students’ reasoning ability. The purpose of this paper is to present an instructive scenario entitled “Eurymedon’s Dilemma” for the teaching of the 1st Grade of Lyceum (10th Grade of Upper Secondary School) Ancient Greek Language course. This scenario was designed and implemented as part of the Erasmus+ program “Gamified Introduction to Gamification”. The innovation of the scenario lies in its student-centered nature and, above all, in the utilization of both the principles of dilemma-based learning and the dibl digital application. The students, acting within a framework of collaborative activities both digital and non-digital, managed to approach to a very satisfactory degree the objectives of the scenario.
