International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) (21st, Zagreb, Croatia, Oct 26-28, 2024)
The traditional learning method can be a challenging activity if the students are children with ADHD. There are studies that indicate that educational video games enhance the learning process in children. To objectively validate the aforementioned claim, this study aims to analyze and compare the brain waves activity of children with ADHD while learning scientific concepts through traditional methods and educational video games. To do this, the activity is monitored with an EEG headset while they learn. A pilot study has been conducted with 7 children aged 7 to 9 to evaluate the learning effectiveness of using video games versus traditional learning. The results support that playing educational video games makes the learning process more enjoyable and engaging for children with ADHD, thereby improving their study skills and knowledge acquisition.
