Numerous scholars have empirically explored the impact of gamification on enhancing students' learning, yielding varied findings regarding the effectiveness of gamification, but whether students of different learning styles are all supportive of gamified education and game elements is still an open question. This study examined whether and why…

This computer game was designed and developed to enhance the skills of high school students in balancing chemical equations. The game simulates a trip to the beach and consists of three missions, ranging from easy to difficult levels, enabling players to engage in a contextual learning experience. The objectives of this computer game development…

This article will present a case study on how game-based learning (GBL) -- a live quiz specifically, was used to support the teaching and learning in a social work practice educator program at a university in London. A GBL platform was used to create a live online quiz which was used as a tool to assess 50 trainee practice educators' (TPEs)…

Nowadays, gamification has gained widespread acceptance in education. However, limited studies have focused on whether and how game-based learning impacts university students' creativity. This study aims to explore the relationship between university students' engagement in game-based learning and their creativity. By drawing upon flow theory…

This research aims to improve the numeracy abilities of secondary students after using the Labirin: the board game and students' perceptions of mathematics learning using the game. This empirical study research used a one-group pretest posttest design. The research population is all grade-8 students in one of the Islamic public secondary schools…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of gamification on students' learning outcomes in a higher secondary school subject, specifically focusing on the topic of Morphology. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving an experimental group that received gamified instruction using Kahoot and a control group that received…

Purpose: Higher education is undergoing a significant transformation, demanding a rethinking of instructional methods, the establishment of novel assessment frameworks and the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies to advance the development of learning competencies. The use of simulations is an alternative that offers satisfactory results…

Background: Petri nets are a formal specification technique for modelling of control processes and modern flexible manufacturing systems. Interpreted Petri nets take into account input and output signals, allowing to apply them in any control system or even in control part of a cyber-physical system. Due to the fact that Petri nets are not used in…

The aim of this study is to understand teacher education students' experience with an introduction to use of escape room as a didactic tool in mathematics, and to gain insight on the impact of such an introduction on teacher education students' development as mathematics teachers. Escape room is a new, game-based, didactic tool in school that…

This article describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of the gamification of laboratory activities in a General Chemistry course at the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil. In the gamified laboratory, seven experiments traditionally performed in the course were transformed into ten missions, incorporating game elements such as…

Objective: The medical terminology escape room game (MTEG) is a chatbot designed for gamified education that aims to transform memorizing complex medical terminology into an enjoyable experience for medical students. By combining elements of ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction) theory with escape room adventures, the MTEG aims…

This research explores the perception of university students of Degrees in Education towards gamification mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as an innovative teaching strategy, aligned with the principles of educational quality of the UN Agenda 2030. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and inferential research…

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…

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of gamification on students' engagement and to understand their perceptions of gamification as a teaching and learning style. Design/methodology/approach: The participants in this research were students who had studied the principles of accounting courses at University of Technology…

This study explores the role of the perceived image of accounting in determining key variables that influence high school accounting students' acceptance of using cloud accounting as a new technology. We adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) as its theoretical framework. High school accounting students enrolled in the 'Kyoto Subaru High…
