Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Avery H. Closser; Vy Ngo; Hannah Smith; Allison S. Liu; Erin Ottmar – Grantee Submission, 2023
Background: Prior work has shown that middle school students struggle with algebra and that game-based educational technologies, such as DragonBox and From Here to There!, are effective at improving students' algebraic performance. However, it remains unclear which aspects of algebraic knowledge shift as a result of playing these games and what…

Adaptive expertise is a highly sought after, but difficult to achieve, outcome of mathematics education. Many teaching methods appear to support the development of adaptive expertise only in a small proportion of students. Game-based learning environments may be useful for supporting adaptive expertise. Therefore, we carried out a…

Kuan-Fu Chen; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Mei-Rong Alice Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Many studies have incorporated concept maps into digital games to enable learners to make connections between subject concepts in the game. However, most learners do not associate spontaneously with the thematic concepts in the game but need to be facilitated by effective scaffolding mechanisms to reconceptualize the learning process and content.…

Meital Amzalag; Dorin Kadusi; Shimon Peretz – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Abundant research has tried to understand how games can be designed and used effectively to improve the learning process and to examine the correlations between digital learning games and student motivation, engagement, and knowledge retention. The current study examined the correlation between learning through digital game-based learning (DGBL)…

Abdusselam, Mustafa S. – International Technology and Education Journal, 2020
This research aims to investigate the effect of a serious game on the awareness of energy sources consumption. A weak experimental research design with one group, pretest, posttest, and formative test was used in the study. The research group consist of 17 students who attending a public secondary school in Giresun during the second semester of…
