Chun-Yen Tsai; Yun-An Chen; Fu-Pei Hsieh; Min-Hsiung Chuang; Chien-Liang Lin – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
In higher education, it is challenging to cultivate non-computer science majors' programming concepts. This study used the GAME model (gamification, assessment, modeling, and enquiry) in a programming education course to enhance undergraduates' self-efficacy and performance of basic programming concepts. There were 83 undergraduates taking part in…

Yu, Qing; Yu, Kun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Body movements are regarded as part of the learning process. With the evolution of motion-sensing technology (MST) (e.g., Kinect, Xtion Pro, and Leap Motion), educational researchers try to explore the effect of MST on learning. However, the effect of MST on learning performance is still unclear. This is the first meta-analysis that aims to…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Silitonga, Lusia M.; Murti, Astrid T.; Wu, Ting-Ting – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Qing Yu; Kun Yu; Baomin Li – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Computer programming is regarded as an important skill for the future. However, many K-12 students face challenges and difficulties in learning traditional text-based programming. Block-based visual programming (BVP) can reduce the difficulty of learning programming and is seen as a potential programming education tool. Nevertheless, the effects…

Toukiloglou, Pavlos; Xinogalos, Stelios – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Serious games are considered an effective method to engage students in programming education and have been increasingly used in classrooms. An important part of the learning process with serious games involves the presentation of the new concepts and the provided support to encounter student difficulties. Although the most common approach is the…

Hooshyar, Danial; Pedaste, Margus; Yang, Yeongwook; Malva, Liina; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Wang, Minhong; Lim, Heuiseok; Delev, Dejan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Educational games have been increasingly used to improve students' computational thinking. However, most existing games have focused on the theoretical knowledge of computational thinking, ignoring the development of computational thinking skills. Moreover, there is a lack of integration of adaptivity into educational computer games for…

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…
