Lili Yan; Chungsoo Na; Jina Kang – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) includes multiple socio-cognitive processes that can be challenging to investigate. Constructing arguments is a key practice at the intersection of CPS and science learning. To understand how students construct arguments and develop science knowledge during CPS, we focus on team synchrony--the extent of…

Kaisar Tursyngozhayev; Nusret Kavak; Nurlan K. Akhmetov – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The teaching and learning of chemistry can be challenging due to the complex and abstract nature of the subject matter. Traditional methods of instruction often struggle to engage students and facilitate an understanding of essential chemical concepts. To address this, an innovative card game, "Compound Chain", was developed and…

Liu, Min; Cai, Ying; Han, Songhee; Shao, Peixia – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
Research on learning analytics (LA) has focused mostly at the university level. LA research in the K-12 setting is needed. This study aimed to understand 4,115 middle school students' learning paths based on their behavioural patterns and the relationship with performance levels when they used a digital learning game as their science curriculum.…

Chase, Catherine C.; Malkiewich, Laura J.; Lee, Alison; Slater, Stefan; Choi, Ahram; Xing, Chenmu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
It is difficult to motivate learners to seek out and persist at challenging learning tasks where failure is likely. However, in game environments, people seem highly motivated to engage with challenges and respond productively to failure. Many typical game features purportedly enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, which should improve…

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.…

Stufft, Carolyn J.; von Gillern, Sam – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2021
This article explores the written reflections and multimodal analyses of 31 middle school students who engaged with video games as texts. For four consecutive days, students spent 30 minutes playing video games and then 30 minutes writing reflections on their experiences and perceptions, resulting in 124 total reflections. Students focused on how…

Shian-Shyong Tseng; Tsung-Yu Yang; Wen-Chung Shih; Bo-Yang Shan – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
In this paper, to handle the problem of the quick evolution of cyber-security attacks, we developed the iMonsters board game and proposed the attack and defense knowledge self-evolving algorithm. Three versions of the iMonsters were launched in 2013, 2017, and 2019, respectively. Accordingly, the cyber-security ontology can be refined by the…

Li, Jiansheng; Lin, Yuyu; Sun, Mingzhu; Shadiev, Rustam – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study examined whether socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) enhances students' algorithmic thinking performance, promotes learning participation and improves students' learning attitudes through game-based collaborative learning. The students learned algorithmic knowledge and completed programing tasks using Kodu, a new visual…

Jia-Hua Zhao; Patcharin Panjaburee; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Wararat Wongkia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Scholars have suggested English classrooms with sufficient context and fun activities to increase English performance and promote learning motivation. With the rapid growth of technology-enhanced learning, virtual reality (VR) has become increasingly popular in English learning. Using VR without a well-designed learning environment, however, may…

Rajesh Syal, Samira – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Efforts taken to promote self-regulated learning (SRL) in elementary school have positive effects on learning outcomes. Few studies examine the role of motivation in relation to other SRL components, namely cognition and metacognition. Additionally, few SRL studies involving elementary students focus on motivational supports. Interventions that…

Liu, Min; Li, Chenglu; Pan, Zilong; Pan, Xin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
More research is needed on how to best use analytics to support educational decisions and design effective learning environments. This study was to explore and mine the data captured by a digital educational game designed for middle school science to understand learners' behavioral patterns in using the game, and to use evidence-based findings to…

Nur, Andi Saparuddin; Kartono, Kartono; Zaenuri, Zaenuri; Rochmad, Rochmad – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
The integer is a basic concept in studying arithmetic and algebra. However, students still frequently experience misconceptions, especially in negative integer, count operations. Traditional games are activities that are often carried out by students in coastal areas so that they are relevant to be used as a tool to construct learning trajectories…

Yanjun Pan; Elizabeth L. Adams; Leanne R. Ketterlin-Geller; Eric C. Larson; Corey Clark – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Computational thinking is acknowledged as an essential competency for everyone to learn. However, teachers find it challenging to implement the existing learning approaches in K-12 settings because the existing approaches often focus on teaching computing concepts and skills (i.e., programming skills) rather than on helping students develop their…

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)…

Yeh, Yu-chu; Ting, Yu-Shan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: Creativity is an important ability for problem-solving in both personal life and academic learning. Few creativity studies have investigated the development of children's creativity in disadvantaged rural areas or compared the rural-urban differences through digital game-based creativity learning. Understanding such differences can…
