Ninaus, Manuel; Cortez, Rodolpho; Hazin, Izabel; Kiili, Kristian; Wortha, Silke M.; Klein, Elise; Weiss, Elisabeth M.; Moeller, Korbinian – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Even though game elements can increase motivation and engagement, they also might distract learners and thereby decrease performance and learning outcomes. In the current study, we investigated the effects of intrinsically integrated game elements on performance and learning outcomes. In a pre-post training study, 85 adult participants were…

Jiang, Xina; Harteveld, Casper; Yang, Yuqin; Fung, Anthony; Huang, Xinyuan; Chen, Shihong – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become an important skill for the new generation, and CT teaching games have been introduced to lower the barriers that novices face in learning programming. However, despite the prevalence of and demand for these games, little is known about the effectiveness of their design or about the principles that are…

Nelson, Brian C.; Bowman, Catherine D. D.; Bowman, Judd D.; Pérez Cortés, Luis E.; Adkins, Adrianna; Escalante, Edgar; Owen, Brooke L.; Ha, Jesse; Su, Man – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This study examines the impact of a mobile game app on science museum visitors' level of engagement with exhibit content, compared to a non game-based version of the same app. Ask Dr. Discovery (Dr. D) is a question-asking app containing two versions: a Game Mode employing casual game mechanics and an Ask Mode providing a baseline version. We…

Kapp, Karl M.; Valtchanov, Deltcho; Pastore, Ray – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This study focused on the use of casual games to motivate learners in a corporate retail settings to engage in a online learning platform. The study analyzed two populations of learners who were using the learning platform. One group of learners was in a game condition. In this condition, the learners were provided the option to play a casual game…

Chen, Ching-Huei; Law, Victor; Huang, Kun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
In a game-based learning (GBL) environment for seventh-grade students, this study investigated the impact of competition, engagement in games, and the relationship between the two on students' in-game performance and flow experience, which, in turn, impacted their science learning outcomes. Structural equation modeling was employed to test a…

Ai-Chu Elisha Ding; Kuo-Ting Tim Huang; Jessica DuBois; Huali Fu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Secondary science students still struggle to master scientific concepts and apply content-based knowledge. The instructional design behind the incorporation of innovative technology and the use of game-based learning (GBL) could be a key to increasing student acquisition of science knowledge. Using a mixed methods design, this study examined the…

Computational thinking is acknowledged as an essential competency for everyone to learn. However, teachers find it challenging to implement the existing learning approaches in K-12 settings because the existing approaches often focus on teaching computing concepts and skills (i.e., programming skills) rather than on helping students develop their…

Exploring the Effects of Designing a Role-Playing Game with Single and Peer Mode for Campus Learning
Wang, Yi-Hsuan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This study aims to extend the learning advantages of game-based learning from formal education to informal learning, and to develop a role-playing game (RPG) to help students familiarize themselves with a new school. Several game elements and principles were considered during the design stage, and the tasks were embedded into a macro-context to…
