Using a scoping review of databases from pedagogy, psychology, and computer science, we identified current…

Gamification allows for the implementation of experiences that simulate the design of (video) games, giving individuals the opportunity to be the protagonists in them. Its inclusion in the educational environment responds to the need to adapt teaching-learning processes to the characteristics of homo videoludens, placing value once again on the…

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…

STEM education, which includes science, technology, engineering and mathematics, has been expanding for the past two decades. This study aimed to map new trends and the possibility of implementing digital game-based learning (DGBL) in STEM education. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was conducted. The resulting sample was further…

Entertainment video games are very popular among young audiences. Nevertheless, despite their potential to improve cognitive functioning, they are still studied rarely as a tool for digital game-based learning. To better understand video gaming practices' value in the classroom, this article provides a systematic review of literature on the effect…

Counting is foundational to success with mathematics. In this synthesis, we analyzed 17 studies about counting-focused interventions for preschool and kindergarten students with mathematics difficulty or at-risk of mathematics difficulty. All interventions addressed several components of counting, including stable order, one-to-one correspondence,…

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.…
