Virtual environments open up far-reaching possibilities with respect to knowledge impartation. Nevertheless, they have the potential to negatively influence learning behavior. As a possible positive determinant, especially in the digital context, the moment "game" can be listed. Accordingly, previous studies prove an overall positive…

Students frequently struggled with the mathematizing process -- forging connections between implicit and explicit mathematical thinking -- when solving a context-rich applied problem. The current research investigated how students interact with and leverage purposively designed "mathematizing" supports when solving applied math problems…

This study investigated how history education can be transferred to the virtual world in line with aesthetic and reality concerns through computer-aided design programs and how this transfer can contribute to the instructiveness of historical science. The study hypothesized that advanced technologies enable more effective visualization of…

Purpose: This study explored undergraduate college students' opinions of the CDC's online "Solve the Outbreak" (StO) game, a recommended aid in higher education for teaching concepts epidemiological outbreak investigations. Methods: The study was conducted as a game debriefing, in which 16 students enrolled in an undergraduate-level…

Because e-learning encompasses such a wide array of learning methods and tools, its components lend themselves to boundless applications. This study describes one such frontier of e-learning: its use in raising awareness of crucial social issues. Specifically, we describe the development of the first human trafficking awareness e-learning game…

Games have been used as a learning tool for centuries. Gamification and game-based learning are becoming more prominent in educational settings for several reasons. When it comes to learning, being focused and immersed can massively improve a student's experience. The purpose of this study is to map the emerging trends of gamification and…

Alphabet training of primary school students is an essential, but challenging activity. Alphabet knowledge is an important fundamental literacy skill which has been found to directly impact the future academic success of students. Game-based learning and the use of multimodal engagement activities have been found to be effective intervention…

In this article, we delve into the application of the online game-based learning and testing platform Kahoot! with second language (L2) learners of Russian and explore how this tool can enhance our students' experiences. Following a brief overview of digital game-based learning (DGBL) and previous research on L2 learning through Kahoot!, we…

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a significant research topic in recent times, particularly in the context of K-12 education. While numerous systematic literature reviews have focused on students as participants, there is a notable gap in reviews that concentrate on the educators who adopt DGBL in their classrooms. This study aims…

Despite the many theories supporting experiential learning, there is little guidance on how to design effective experiential exercises. To address this gap, we adapt insights from gamification research to devise a step-by-step process that management instructors may use to design effective experiential exercises for use in face-to-face and virtual…

Sonia Kovalevsky Days (SK Days) are nationally-held outreach events that are commonly organized by local chapters of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) to encourage young women to continue their study of mathematics. The AWM Student Chapter at Worcester Polytechnic Institute hosted virtual renditions of SK Day for middle school girls…

This systematic review, utilizing the PRISMA framework, analyzes 248 international and 143 Iranian articles to provide an overview of studies on games in education. It examines five key themes: common terminology, methodology, type of study, variables studied, and technologies used, presenting findings in the same order of priority.…

This paper presents a new developed methodology for teaching and learning subjects that although are very important in the modern digital society are neglected in high school education programs: cybersecurity and cyber safety. A Study among the EU high schools in 2021-2022 revealed that computer science teachers are not regularly upgrading their…

Nursing students participating in labor support training need to learn core clinical skills to assess the delivery process to reduce the risk and labor pain of pregnant women. We proposed an approach to integrate scenario game-based learning with the experiential learning strategy to facilitate nursing students' learning performance and six core…

In recent years, art museums have been putting more effort into creating e-learning resources (ELR) to encourage young children to learn about art off-site. However, research on art museum ELR from the perspective of educational content is scarce. Using the ELR offered to children by Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art, Australia (QAGOMA…
