Thalles Henrique Faria de Souza; Eduardo Figueiredo Peloso; Gabriel Gerber Hornink – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Understanding ATP formation is essential for learning metabolism and is central to grasping metabolic processes as a whole. However, due to the high level of abstraction, the number of intermediate substrates, the connections, and integrated regulation, its comprehension often poses a challenge. This and the fact that traditional teaching methods…

Ying-Lien Lin; Wei-Tsong Wang; Min-Ju Hsieh – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies have been identified as a valuable component of digital game-based learning system (GBLS) activities. However, few studies have focused on the effects of information feedback on self-efficacy, SRL strategies, and perceived and actual learning effectiveness. Social cognitive and SRL theories describe the…

Ying Zhang – Applied Linguistics, 2025
A small number of studies have explored the effects of digital gaming on second/foreign language (L2) pragmatic competence. However, the effectiveness of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) germane to L2 pragmatic development remains unclear because most game-mediated pragmatics studies have focused on educational games.…

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…

Jane Henriksen-Bulmer; Emily Rosenorn-Lanng; Stevie Corbin-Clarke; Samuel Ware; Davide Melacca; Lee-Ann Fenge – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Game-based learning can be a useful tool for increasing engagement in topics that are typically not related to games such as privacy and staying safe online, yet, very few games exist that look at how we can passively teach audiences how to stay safe online. This paper presents a bespoke board game about privacy, aimed at young people aged 16-25…

Vasco Rikkers; Dipti Kapoor Sarmah – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
In recent years, gamification has seen a rise in usage for cyber-security training, with some of the most used elements being story and narrative. Yet there seems to be a lack of research on story-based gamification as well as how this type of gamification affects a training's effectiveness. The goal of this study was to test the effectiveness of…
