Fengfeng Ke; Chih-Pu Dai; Luke West; Yanjun Pan; Jiabei Xu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Students frequently struggled with the mathematizing process -- forging connections between implicit and explicit mathematical thinking -- when solving a context-rich applied problem. The current research investigated how students interact with and leverage purposively designed "mathematizing" supports when solving applied math problems…

Fengfeng Ke; Chih-Pu Dai; Luke West – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Game-based learning can frame problem-solving as a sense-making experience with domain-specific tasks for school students. However, multiple challenges arise when trying to support learners in such a complex, problem-oriented learning environment. Objectives and Methods: With an architecture-themed mathematics learning game, we…

Stohlmann, Micah S. – Middle School Journal, 2023
Over the past ten years, interest in game-based learning has increased. This increase stems from the results of research that demonstrate the potential for increased mathematical learning and engagement when game-based learning was implemented. It has been noted that the most frequent way game-based learning is included in research is with drill…

Kai-Lin Yang; Chia-Yang Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Game-based learning, which includes non-digital and digital games, highlights the benefits of games in terms of players' learning and engagement. Whereas contemporary research focuses more on digital than non-digital game-based learning, more studies shall compare the effects between the two types of game-based learning and their integration. This…

Humaira Mariyam B.; V. K. Karthika – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
Games are used as effective pedagogical tools in language classrooms. Gamifying language tasks can motivate learners to actively participate in the learning process. Probing how games in English language classrooms enable rhizomatic learning, this research study explores how the use of collaborative drawing, elements of gamification, and…

A Movement-Integration Approach for the Comprehension of Punctuation Marks in Students with Dyslexia
F. Topouzeli; E. Konstantinidou; C. Evaggelinou; V. Barkoukis; E. Fotiadou – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2025
Embodied cognition and movement-integration (MI) in classroom settings attract the interest of researchers and practitioners. The purpose of this six-week pilot study was to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a MI approach (PunMoves) focusing on the comprehension of punctuation marks in reading, which was implemented in 12…

Hsiu-Ling Chen; Abebayehu Yohannes; Ning-Li Hung – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
The escape room game is an example of digital game-based learning that has become a popular learning tool in recent years. However, not enough is known about enthusiasm for and promising reports of the use of escape rooms in education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of escape room game-based civics education on eighth…

Chun-Hsin Kuo; Meng-Jun Chen; Robasa Nababan; Hsiao-Ching She – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Game-based learning (GBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to engage students in learning through games, but little emphasis has been placed on scaffolding support for students, which hinders their learning. Therefore, our design of Space Adventure GBL ties games closely to scaffolds at every stage and investigates what role games and…

Lorien Cafarella; Lucas Vasconcelos – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Middle school students often enter Computer Science (CS) classes without previous CS or Computational Thinking (CT) instruction. This study evaluated how Code.org's block-based programming curriculum affects middle school students' CT skills and attitudes toward CT and CS. Sixteen students participated in the study. This was a mixed methods action…

Russo, Toby; Russo, James – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
This article provides a task that can be used effectively for exploring arrays in middle and upper primary schools, and the notion of prime and composite numbers in particular. As students are engaging in these activities, teachers can encourage them to record their arrays both diagrammatically and as number sentences.
