Wenyi Lu; Joseph Griffin; Troy D. Sadler; James Laffey; Sean P. Goggins – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2025
Game-based learning (GBL) is increasingly recognized as an effective tool for teaching diverse skills, particularly in science education, due to its interactive, engaging, and motivational qualities, along with timely assessments and intelligent feedback. However, more empirical studies are needed to facilitate its wider application in school…

Orly Klein-Latucha; Arnon Hershkovitz – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2024
We report on a large-scale, log-based study of the associations between persistence and success in an online game-based learning environment for elementary school mathematics. While working with applets, learners can rerun a task after completing it or can halt before completing and rerun it again; both of these mechanisms may improve the score.…

Alonso-Fernández, Cristina; Calvo-Morata, Antonio; Freire, Manuel; Martínez-Ortiz, Iván; Fernández-Manjón, Baltasar – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
Game learning analytics (GLA) comprise the collection, analysis, and visualization of player interactions with serious games. The information gathered from these analytics can help us improve serious games and better understand player actions and strategies, as well as improve player assessment. However, the application of analytics is a complex…

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.…

Lu, Wenyi; Griffin, Joe; Sadler, Troy D.; Laffey, James; Goggins, Sean P. – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2023
The construction of prediction models reflecting players' learning performance in serious games currently faces various challenges for learning analytics. In this study, we design, implement, and field test a learning analytics system for a serious game, advancing the field by explicitly showing which in-game features correspond to differences in…

Yu, Jiaqi; Ma, Wenchao; Moon, Jewoong; Denham, Andre R. – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
Integrating learning analytics in digital game-based learning has gained popularity in recent decades. The interactive nature of educational games creates an ideal environment for learning analytics data collection. However, past research has limited success in producing accessible and effective assessments using game learning analytics. In this…

Kleinman, Erica; Shergadwala, Murtuza N.; Teng, Zhaoqing; Villareale, Jennifer; Bryant, Andy; Zhu, Jichen; Seif El-Nasr, Magy – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
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…

Cloude, Elizabeth B.; Carpenter, Dan; Dever, Daryn A.; Azevedo, Roger; Lester, James – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
Reflection is critical for adolescents' problem solving and learning in game-based learning environments (GBLEs). Yet challenges exist in the literature because most studies lack a theoretical perspective and clear operational definition to inform how and when reflection should be scaffolded during game-based learning. In this paper, we address…
