Knowledge about genetics is essential to build a society capable of participating in socioscientific and ethical debates. However, this subject remains difficult for students, making it necessary to develop new educational strategies, such as gamification. Thus, two main objectives are established in this work: (a) to design and evaluate…

One approach that has been gaining significant attention among chemistry education scholars and practitioners is the employment of game-based learning to teach least-learned and difficult topics at various educational levels. One reason for this is that it promotes active, constructive learning and makes learning science a fun experience through…

Board games have been used as instructional tools for a wide array of subjects from primary to secondary levels. The present study aimed to develop and apply a novel board game for the instruction of content relating to mole conversion through dimensional analysis in a grade10 class of 29 students. To assess their knowledge prior to and after…

The study examined the effectiveness of BEEP Cards (BioEnergetics Enhancement Play Cards) on students' conceptual understanding of bioenergetics. The study involved one group of grade 11 students (n=29) from a public secondary school in the Philippines. The study employed a mixed-method research design, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative…

There have been growing calls for inquiry, a practice-oriented way of engaging students in authentic scientific work, yet research has shown some challenges that might impede inquiry practices in educational settings. In this study, we proposed an approach that blends educational gaming with physical experiments. We developed an educational game,…

This research will use the self-developed Periodic Table of Ladder board game as a formative evaluation using the 5E learning model. The board game is like the snake and ladder game. In the 5E model, the board game is the formative assessment part of the evaluation phase. The formative assessment is a group of questions set in the question cards.…

This study consists of a longitudinal research using an active methodology to teach the contents of the periodic table to high school students, based on project-based learning and WebQuest. The aim of this investigation is to study the relationship between learning the periodic table and the type of strategy that students choose to achieve the…

Gamification in education offers an innovative way of learning. However, some studies claim that, while it helps raise students' motivation, the kind of motivation is extrinsic and, so, intrinsic motivation declines with time. The researchers used the descriptive research design to describe the STEM students' intrinsic motivation along with the…

Games can be rich environments for learning and can elicit evidence of students' conceptual understanding and inquiry processes. Illuminating students' content-specific gameplay decisions, or methods of completing game tasks related to a certain domain, requires a context that is open-ended enough for students to make choices that demonstrate…

This research aims to explore the effectiveness of using computer-assisted games as a learning media to improve the quality of learning in Chemistry. The research was conducted in Indonesia on high school students in three separate classes or groups, in three separate schools that were randomly selected. There were three stages of data collection…

The learning process with modern technology is an absolute requirement in the digital age. As a science subject with unique characteristics, biology also requires a unique and technology-based learning process. Flipped Classroom--Digital Game-Based Learning (FC-DGBL) is a learning model that combines flipped classrooms and evaluations using…

The present study examined the influence of the method of physical activity games and digital games on 9th-grade students' achievements in a physics lesson. In the study, the semi-experimental design was used. The study group was made up of secondary school 9th-grade students from three different groups at a public school. The 1st experimental…

Throughout students' careers in physics, there are some topics that they learn multiple times and in multiple ways, and other topics that are briefly, if at all, discussed. I wanted to have the students think about all of the different physics topics they had learned in, most likely, a new way. Games have been used as a way to learn new physics…

This research aims to reveal the effectiveness of the use of an indigenous knowledge-based physics comic of Android-based marbles games on verbal representation and critical thinking abilities. It is a quasi-experiment applying the pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consists of two classes: the control and experimental…

The presence of technology is one of prominent characteristics of the 21st century learning system. This study aims to seek the influences of hybrid learning with video conference and chemistry on android game (chemondro-game) on students' self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, and achievement toward chemistry of hydrocarbon topics. Through…
