Leah F. Rosenbaum – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Research on the educational value of play tends to focus on active players, especially when evaluating novel interaction technologies. However, a long history of scholarship underscores observing communal practice as a primary means of enculturation and learning. This paper demonstrates learning opportunities available within a range of…

Liu, Zhichun; Jeong, Allan C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Prior studies on game-based learning provide limited and mixed results in the transfer of skills learned during game play to contexts outside of the game. This study tested the effects of playing a blocked-based programming educational game implemented with in-game cognitive supports on students' ability to learn and apply computational thinking…

Pan, Yanjun; Ke, Fengfeng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Adopting a pretest-posttest experimental design with repeated measures, this study examined the effects of three types of game-based learning supports in the form of modeling on knowledge development that contributed to successful math problem solving and students' perceived game flow. Forty-one sixth-grade students participated in the study and…

Yang, Xiaotong; Rahimi, Seyedahmad; Fulwider, Curt; Smith, Ginny; Shute, Valerie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The current study investigated students' gameplay behavioral patterns as a function of in-game learning supports delivery timing when played a computer-based physics game. Our sample included 134 secondary students (M = 14.40, SD = .90) from all over the United States, who were randomly assigned into three conditions: receiving instructional…

Imam Fitri Rahmadi; Zsolt Lavicza; Selay Arkün Kocadere; Tony Houghton; Jonathan Michael Spector – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Although user-generated microgames, defined as very simple games made by non-professionals on open platforms, are popular and appear to have considerable advantages in facilitating learning, further exploration is needed to establish their potential in instructional practices. The present study investigates the design, participation and experience…

Yang, Xiaotong; Rahimi, Seyedahmad; Shute, Valerie; Kuba, Renata; Smith, Ginny; Alonso-Fernández, Cristina – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
In-game learning supports aim to help students solve game levels (i.e., game-related supports), and connect to underlying content (i.e., content-related and hybrid supports). Students with different levels of prior knowledge may have different needs for in-game supports. In this study, we designed a 2D physics game with game-related,…

Rosenheck, Louisa; Cheng, Meng-Tzu; Lin, Chen-Yen; Klopfer, Eric – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Games can be rich environments for learning and can elicit evidence of students' conceptual understanding and inquiry processes. Illuminating students' content-specific gameplay decisions, or methods of completing game tasks related to a certain domain, requires a context that is open-ended enough for students to make choices that demonstrate…

Bui, Phuong; Rodríguez-Aflecht, Gabriela; Brezovszky, Boglárka; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M.; Laato, Samuli; Lehtinen, Erno – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Serious games for learning have received increased attention in recent years. However, empirical studies on students' gaming experiences throughout the developmental process of serious games and discussions regarding game design are missing. The aims of the present study were to analyze students' gaming experiences while playing four consecutive…

Bayeck, Rebecca Y. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This study is a review of video games studies completed in South Africa. This paper looked at existing research on video games in South Africa in order to understand the research approaches used, and the learning outcomes found in respect to findings from studies in the western world. Interestingly, the study shows similarities in the learning…

Sun, Zhong; Lin, Chin-Hsi; Lv, Kaiyue; Song, Jie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Mobile serious games are increasingly utilized as educational tools in elementary schools, and a considerable body of research has focused on evaluating such games' educational effectiveness. However, such work has generally ignored learning processes, and especially how knowledge is constructed. Given the important role of knowledge construction…

Chen, Ching-Huei; Law, Victor; Huang, Kun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
In a game-based learning (GBL) environment for seventh-grade students, this study investigated the impact of competition, engagement in games, and the relationship between the two on students' in-game performance and flow experience, which, in turn, impacted their science learning outcomes. Structural equation modeling was employed to test a…
