In contemporary education, game-based learning (GBL) has become a captivating instructional method applied across various academic subjects, including mathematics. The utilization of online GBL in mathematics education constitutes a segment of the activities that mathematics educators can employ during their lessons to teach students and enhance…

Background/purpose: This study investigated the impact of the Test Survey for Students (TSFS) software, a game-based learning intervention (GBL), on the mathematical achievement and attitudes of Qatari fourth-grade students. Materials/methods: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the TPACK…

The growing integration of technology into society highlights the need for educational transformation to better equip students for future challenges and the evolving labor market. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing learning using interactive digital games. This study investigates the implementation…

We conducted a scoping review on game-based learning (GBL) for mathematics teacher education. In recent decades, GBL has been largely applied to K-12 education contexts. GBL has aimed to promote students' deeper understanding of mathematics knowledge via game-based activities. With the evolving needs of GBL in mathematics education, recent…

In the current technology-driven era, digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a practical approach for enhancing mathematics achievement among young students. It is believed that digital drill-and-practice educational games can replace traditional pen-and-paper drills in mathematics education and have a better influence on incorporating…

Children always have a natural inclination to play, so the purpose of game-based learning is to establish a way for children to acquire knowledge while playing. This study is to discover the relationship between children's play preferences and learning performances toward a mathematics mobile game we designed. The tablet game we designed,…

Networked computers can potentially support classrooms to be more interactive. It can help students share representations amongst themselves and work together on a shared virtual activity space. In research on the role of shared screens or shared virtual workspace in learning settings, there has been less attention paid to contexts where learners…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a digital game designed within the framework of hierarchic interactionalism theory on the development of the concept of area in secondary school students. The digital game used in this study was designed after being influenced by the preliminary concepts and skills related to the concept of area…

There is strong theoretical and empirical support for the use of digital games for learning. Despite their research support, digital games are not widely used in mathematics classrooms. One main contributor to this lack of adoption is the paucity of extant research on the extent to which mathematics teachers are using digital games, how teachers…

Integrating learning analytics in digital game-based learning has gained popularity in recent decades. The interactive nature of educational games creates an ideal environment for learning analytics data collection. However, past research has limited success in producing accessible and effective assessments using game learning analytics. In this…

We present results of a grounded analysis of individual interviews in which students play Vector Unknown -- a digital game designed to introduce visualizing vectors, scaling vectors, vector addition, and vector equations, attending to the geometric and algebraic representations of vectors. The game was designed to be used at the beginning of a…

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…

The aims of the study were (1) to develop a domain-general computer-based assessment tool for inductive reasoning and to empirically test the theoretical models of Klauer and Christou and Papageorgiou; and (2) to develop an online game to foster inductive reasoning through mathematical content and to investigate its effectiveness. The sample was…

The research is relevant as educational computer games are included in students' mathematical activity and form additional opportunities to improve the quality of teaching mathematics in a digital school, to support the formation of the demanded professional competence - computational thinking. To form the appropriate skills that determine the…

The boom of the 4.0 industrial revolution and the Covid-19 pandemic have changed the teaching and learning process, where digital learning environments have become increasingly necessary and convenient. The application of game-based learning (GBL) provides many benefits, such as helping to improve the quality of the mathematics teaching and…
