We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop…

The usage of games in the process of teaching and learning is always advantageous, because children prefer to learn playfully. Board-games are particularly enjoyable for children. They do not learn consciously, but they enjoy playing together with their parents and siblings, because board-games bring together both family and friends. Playing…

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of the Gametics Game Program on the visual perception and attention levels of third-grade primary school students. The participants in this study were third-grade students enrolled in primary school in Kocaeli. This study employed a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The…

Collaborative game-based learning offers opportunities for students to participate in small group learning experiences that foster knowledge sharing, problem solving, and engagement. Student satisfaction with their collaborative experiences plays a pivotal role in shaping positive learning outcomes and is a critical factor in group success during…

The aim of the study was to investigate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' perception of using Wordwall application in vocabulary memorization at a private university in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. This study also explores the strengths and weaknesses of Wordwall application. The mixed-method design was used in this study. The…

This study examines the effectiveness of a game-based metaverse platform in enhancing learning outcomes in economics education. Students were virtually transported back to the Great Depression within the metaverse. System data and self-assessment surveys assessed aspects such as ease of use and perceived usefulness for learning, evaluating their…

This paper examines the impact that a game-informed pronunciation site has on the acquisition of English /r/-/l/. Twenty-three Japanese-speaking English learners completed a series of pronunciation activities directed at improving their phonological awareness and oral production of the /r/-/l/ contrast. The activities included game-informed tasks…

Game-based learning (GBL) environments are shown to support open-ended inquiry, collaborative learning, shared knowledge creation and decision-making processes. The study at hand focuses on examining students' descriptions of problematic situations and collaborative learning in a virtual simulation game. We were interested in what kinds of…

Probability requires teaching approaches that allow children to predict, observe and experiment with concreate materials, games and simulations. In this study, we explored one teacher's beliefs and practices of teaching probability using game-based approaches. We employed a design-based research approach to explore how our case study teacher…

The goal of this classroom action study is to increase the vocabulary of Vietnamese EFL university students by utilizing Kahoot! in the teaching and learning process. Eleven undergraduate Vietnamese students majoring in Information Technology in a university in the south of Vietnam took part in the study. The two-cycle Kemmis and McTaggart (1988)…

"Probability" and "statistical literacy" is an important aspect of the school curriculum in many countries. In this study, we report on findings from a larger study that engaged pre-service teachers as key stakeholders in research in exploring teaching probability and statistics using a game-based teaching approach. The current…

The research aimed to know the result of validity, practicality, and effectiveness of products from the development of games-based learning media in terms of students' mathematical reasoning in three-dimensional shapes. The type of research and development referred to ADDIE model which included five stages, namely analysis, design, development,…

In this paper we explored primary school teachers preference for different game modes to support mathematics teaching and learning. Eighty-four teachers played digital and non-digital addition and subtraction games that were functionally equivalent during professional learning workshops. Most teachers indicated that they would be more likely to…

This paper demonstrates the design as a hypothesis framework for developing cross-university students and mentors, and rural youth (aged 18-30) and regional business ecosystems capacity building practice approaches to support sustainable development goals. To support university students', mentors and the business partners' engagement and building…

The transition between arithmetic and algebraic thinking is challenging for students. One notable difficulty for students is understanding algebraic symbols--pronumerals. Researchers are exploring pedagogical approaches in seeking to address this issue. The current paper is contributing to this body of literature by illustrating how an online card…
