Fu, Qian; Zheng, Yafeng; Zhang, Mengyao; Zheng, Lanqin; Zhou, Junyi; Xie, Bochao – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Providing appropriate feedback is important when learning to program. However, it is still unclear how different feedback strategies affect learning outcomes in programming. This study designed four different two-step programming feedback strategies and explored their impact on novice programmers' academic achievement, learning motivations, and…

Yeo, Jun-Hui; Cho, I.-Hsuan; Hwang, Gwo-Haur; Yang, Hsi-Hsun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Gender and prior knowledge may affect students' performance and motivation when simulations and games are used for learning. Accommodations should be made for students of different genders and with different levels of prior knowledge. A simulation digital game about the food chain concept geared for elementary school students was developed for…

Chen, Ching-Huei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
The present study investigates how the different modes of game-design triggers learning outcomes, focusing on peer learning and intergroup competition. A problem-solving science game was developed to help secondary students to learn about the motion of objects. Participants (N = 110) from an urban middle school were randomly assigned to four…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Huang, Shu-Hsien; Wu, Ting-Ting – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Mathematics is closely related to daily life, but it is also one of the lessons which often cause anxiety to primary school students. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been regarded as a sound learning strategy in raising learner willingness and interest in many disciplines. Thus, ways of designing a DGBL system to mitigate anxiety are well…

Chu, Hui-Chun; Chang, Shao-Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Although educational computer games have been recognized as being a promising approach, previous studies have indicated that, without supportive models, students might only show temporary interest during the game-based learning process, and their learning performance is often not as good as expected. Therefore, in this paper, a two-tier test…

Huang, Yong-Ming; Huang, Yueh-Min – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
Vocabulary is the foundation for students who learn a foreign language. Nevertheless, students may be bored by the painstaking process of rote learning. To this end, this study designed a handheld sensor-based vocabulary game based on a scaffolding strategy for improving students' motivation and achievement in vocabulary learning. On the one hand,…
