Minkai Wang; Di Zhang; Jingdong Zhu; Hanjie Gu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Scientific knowledge is often abstract and challenging, making it difficult for students to apply these concepts effectively. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) offers an engaging and immersive approach, but the fixed resources and predetermined learning paths in most games limit its ability to adapt to individual learners' needs. Large language…

Liu, Yi Chun; Wang, Wei-Tsong; Lee, Tzu-Lien – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Critical factors that influence the value of digital game-based learning (DGBL) for enhancing learning effectiveness remain debatable. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), people can be autonomously motivated to adopt DGBL to enhance learning effectiveness if their basic psychological needs are satisfied. Additionally, studies that…
