Yang, Jie Chi; Chung, Ching-Jung; Chen, Mei-Shan – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Performance goal orientations are influential motivational factors for predicting learning performance. However, a lack of attention has been paid to investigating the effects of performance goal orientations on learning performance and in-game performance in the context of digital game-based learning. Objectives: This study…

Yang, Jie Chi; Kuo, Wen-Chi – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been shown to be an effective strategy for promoting learning motivation. However, a lack of attention has been paid to investigating the effects of individual differences on elementary students' reading motivation and in-gaming achievements in DGBL. Objectives: This study developed an educational…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…

Porat, Erez; Shamir-Inbal, Tamar; Blau, Ina – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Introduction: Virtual worlds (VWs) are immersive three-dimensional environments, accessible simultaneously to multiple users, and described as shared, simulated spaces, whose inhabitants represented as avatars. VWs enable freedom of expression. Using VWs in educational contexts requires a shift from teacher-centered instruction to facilitation of…

Patel, Priyanka; Torppa, Minna; Aro, Mikko; Richardson, Ulla; Lyytinen, Heikki – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: In 2018, it was found that only a quarter of Grade 3 children in India were reading at grade level. A growing demand for English education has further limited children's literacy achievement. Despite a strong evidence base in favour of using systematic phonics for building English literacy skills, many teachers in India continue to use…

Tsai, Yu-Ling; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
This meta-analysis investigates the relative effectiveness of game-based science learning against other instructional methods (Gameplay design) as well as against science game variants enriched with mechanisms (Game-mechanism design). An overall medium effect size for Gameplay design (k = 14, N[subscript es] = 14, g[subscript RE] = 0.646, p =…

van Uittert, Anne; Verhoeven, Ludo; Segers, Eliane – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
In the present study, a 5-week tablet-based word reading efficiency game intervention (Reading Turbo) was integrated in a comprehensive phonics-based reading curriculum. The aims of the study were to examine whether the game would advance children's word reading efficiency, and to determine the extent to which pre-reading capacities and in-game…

Zare, Mahbobe; Amani, Malahat; Sadoughi, Majid – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Children with dyslexia have reduced sensitivity to phonological sounds and words, and this deficiency in lexical processing causes many problems for them. Word exercise games based on phonological awareness have emphasized the mistakes of students with dyslexia, attempting to help children avoid these mistakes. This study was conducted to…

Tsai, Chun-Yen; Lin, Huann-shyang; Liu, Shu-Chiu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of a pedagogical model of digital games on students' scientific competencies that are advocated by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). As a single game-based learning strategy may not be enough to enhance such competencies, the online game in the current study incorporated…

Alonso-Fernández, Cristina; Martínez-Ortiz, Iván; Caballero, Rafael; Freire, Manuel; Fernández-Manjón, Baltasar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Serious games have proven to be a powerful tool in education to engage, motivate, and help students learn. However, the change in student knowledge after playing games is usually measured with traditional (paper) prequestionnaires-postquestionnaires. We propose a combination of game learning analytics and data mining techniques to predict…
