The aim of this study was to examine the potential effect of intelligence games on the problem-posing skills of mathematics teachers. The research, in which case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred, was conducted with two mathematics teachers enrolled in the Mathematics Education Master's Program with Thesis at a state…

This qualitative case study aimed to explore how novice instructional designers solved a real-world problem by proposing an instructional design model in Second Life. Twenty-one novice instructional designers who enrolled in a Distance Education course were tasked with proposing an instructional design model to solve the high drop-out rate problem…

Using game-based learning (GBL) and digital game-based learning (DGBL) as a teaching and learning environment can be a pedagogical resource and a good strategy in the classroom to support mathematical learning (Santos et al., 2023). Even though primary school teachers are demonstrating strong preferences for using non-digital games instead of…

The integration of management education with information technology tools, such as simulation games and business analysis platforms, is playing an increasingly important role in developing students' decision-making skills as well as earn and acquire best business practices. It is particularly useful to test the didactic process effectiveness by…

The aim of this study is to systematically examine graduate studies on digital game addiction in the field of education. Document analysis technique was used in the study. The 57 graduate studies included in the study were determined by criterion sampling. The data obtained was analyzed using content analysis. As a result of the study, it was seen…

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Given the increasing emphasis on game-based approaches (GBAs) and the critical importance of cultivating creativity, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive examination of this emerging interdisciplinary field. The present study employs a scoping review methodology to provide an overview of the existing research that utilized GBAs as a means…

This article presents an experimental first-year seminar that uses game-based learning to develop the creative problem-solving abilities of first-year college students at a mid-sized university. A discussion on how the computer game, "The Witness," was incorporated into the first-year seminar is given along with an overview of teaching…

The study was performed to examine university students' digital game playing motivation and problem solving skill levels. The research group consists of totally 586 students, 326 male and 260 female study at Bingöl University Physical Education and Sports Academy (PESA), Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture…

Computational thinking (CT) is an indispensable higher-order competency in our complex, digitalized era; its development in students can be an effective tool for societal problem-solving. This research aimed to use an escape room to develop students' computational thinking using challenges oriented toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 of…

The educational game Interactions 500 was extensively used remotely during the COVID-19 Pandemic as an activity at the Federal University of Ceará (Brazil) to help students review intermolecular forces. In the postpandemic years, the game was also used face-to-face in the classroom. However, Apple Store and Google Play Store removed it from their…

The purpose of this study was to implement the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach employing online games for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and learning. The participants were 53 EFL Ecuadorian university students, 17 males and 36 females, who were enrolled in an English Major and a TEFL Master program. Their…

Educational technology is shifting toward facilitating personalized learning. Such personalization, however, requires a detailed understanding of students' problem-solving processes. Sequence analysis (SA) is a promising approach to gaining granular insights into student problem solving; however, existing techniques are difficult to interpret…

This study focuses on pre-service teachers' experimentation with a game-modding process in a constructionist setting whilst they experimented with randomness embedded in wider socio-scientific issues that call for decision making under uncertainty. In this process, participants created 39 different game mods. Our observations of the participants…

Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) skills are receiving increased attention in the current workforce and in lifelong learning. In learning and labor contexts, successful teamwork is however not always guaranteed, due to several reasons, such as an unequal level of individual participation. Training in CPS for all groups is therefore needed.…
