Hayoung Jeon; Yumi Jun; Teemu H. Laine; Eunha Kim – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Empathy is an essential human skill that can be divided into two types: (1) cognitive empathy, which is the capacity of understanding others' thoughts and emotions; and (2) affective empathy, which is the capacity to feel others' emotional states. Many educational contents exist for both types, and immersive virtual reality (VR) has been shown to…

Li Ye; Jingyi Li; Simin Yang; Yongxin Hang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Traditional pattern teaching is an important part of the art curriculum, but the pattern are complex and difficult to learn. While schema theory focuses on the integration, understanding and construction process of knowledge, AR technology can provide a three-dimensional and dynamic display of patterns, which has been used in teaching in recent…

Leonardou, Angeliki; Rigou, Maria; Panagiotarou, Aliki; Garofalakis, John – Smart Learning Environments, 2022
The primary question of this study is whether OLM and OSLM mechanisms, when used in a digital game, offer higher motivation. Furthermore, the study investigates whether a game's aesthetics and mechanics support players' intrinsic motivation. Both claims are tested through the design, implementation and pilot use of the Multiplication Game (MG). MG…

Mirjam West; Petra Baettig-Frey – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
Preserving biodiversity is vital, and early education plays a key role in fostering environmental awareness. An Augmented Reality Outdoor Mission (AROM) has been created as an innovative educational tool for children between the ages 7 and 11. AROM combines entertainment and education and is designed to engage elementary schoolchildren and…

Weisberg, Lauren; Dawson, Kara; Dana, Nancy Fichtman – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2022
Educators have recently begun using digital breakout games as an instructional strategy in K-12 and higher ed curricula. However, research has thus far explored outcomes associated with playing these games, rather than designing them. This study investigates what happened when 23 preservice teachers in a technology integration course designed…

Moffett, Jenny; Cassidy, Dara – Online Learning, 2023
There is increasing interest in the application of game-based learning approaches to education. Educators across a wide range of contexts are using digital games such as educational escape rooms to promote learner motivation and support skills development. Whilst the literature describes multiple game-based learning theories that can underpin such…

Jiang, Xina; Harteveld, Casper; Yang, Yuqin; Fung, Anthony; Huang, Xinyuan; Chen, Shihong – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become an important skill for the new generation, and CT teaching games have been introduced to lower the barriers that novices face in learning programming. However, despite the prevalence of and demand for these games, little is known about the effectiveness of their design or about the principles that are…

Game-Based Learning Apps in Engineering Education: Requirements, Design and Reception among Students
Jacobs, Eva; Garbrecht, Oliver; Kneer, Reinhold; Rohlfs, Wilko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
There is a lack of research on how game-based learning apps should be designed for engineering education. This paper addresses two research questions: What do engineering students expect from a learning app? Which educational approach and learning app design can meet these requirements? A survey revealed the particular demands of engineering…

Bui, Phuong; Rodríguez-Aflecht, Gabriela; Brezovszky, Boglárka; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M.; Laato, Samuli; Lehtinen, Erno – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Serious games for learning have received increased attention in recent years. However, empirical studies on students' gaming experiences throughout the developmental process of serious games and discussions regarding game design are missing. The aims of the present study were to analyze students' gaming experiences while playing four consecutive…

Seralidou, Eleni; Douligeris, Christos – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The effective teaching of the concept of programming, where critical thinking is an important factor, is not so easy in secondary education. New teaching approaches, including, game-based learning, may provide a solution due to their inclusion of more fun and diverse activities but they still lack the active participation of the students in the…

Ayman Alzaid – ProQuest LLC, 2023
As computer games become integral to students' learning experiences, this dissertation investigates the impact of educational game-based learning on mathematical outcomes and attitudes among elementary school students. Employing data science techniques, including statistical approaches and quantitative analysis through data mining of gameplay data…

Paciarotti, Claudia; Bertozzi, Gabriele; Sillaots, Martin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Gamification is usually defined as the use of game structure components in circumstances that are not commonly associated with games. In engineering studies, Gamification and its sub-concept of Serious Games are rather widespread pedagogical models. Just like in other application scopes, the approach to their utilisation or analysis is always…

Hosseini, Hadi; Hartt, Maxwell; Mostafapour, Mehrnaz – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Game-based learning has received significant attention in educational pedagogy as an effective way of increasing student motivation and engagement. The majority of the work in this area has been focused on digital games or games involving technology. We focus on the use of traditional game design in improving student engagement and perception of…

Hao, Kuang-Chung; Lee, Lai-Chung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
This study developed four AR games and investigated their influence on learning in a Grade 5 English course by integrating theories of digital game-based learning, the attention relevance confidence-satisfaction (ARCS) model, and different types of digital games. Moreover, the elements between AR game design and the ARCS model were examined. 147…
