James D. Mendez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry and Chaos is a role-playing game that was developed to teach a wide variety of chemistry topics. The game uses the traditional role-playing framework to present material in an engaging and interactive format. The students take on the role of a particular type of chemist while the instructor guides them on an adventure to test their…

Verma, Vipin; Craig, Scotty D.; Levy, Roy; Bansal, Ajay; Amresh, Ashish – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Detection and responding to a player's affect are important for serious games. A method for this purpose was tested within Chem-o-crypt, a game that teaches chemical equation balancing. The game automatically detects boredom, flow, and frustration using the Affdex SDK from Affectiva. The sensed affective state is then used to adapt the game play…

Pfirman, S.; O'Garra, T.; Bachrach Simon, E.; Brunacini, J.; Reckien, D.; Lee, J. J.; Lukasiewicz, E. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
As the impacts of climate change grow, we need better ways to raise awareness and motivate action. Here we assess the effectiveness of an Arctic climate change card game in comparison with the more conventional approach of reading an illustrated article. In-person assessments with control/reading and treatment/game groups (N = 41), were followed…

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…

Feroz, Hafiz Muhammad Basit; Zulfiqar, Salman; Noor, Sadaf; Huo, Chunhui – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2022
Purpose: Knowledge acquisition is a pivotal concern for the students and many sources help them to obtain knowledge. In this paper, the authors theoretically examine three engagements such as social media, peer and academic engagement by the theoretical foundation of engagement theory which tells that students interact and collaborate, sharing…

Acosta-Medina, Julieth Katherin; Torres-Barreto, Martha Liliana; Cárdenas-Parga, Andrés Felipe – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Virtual education faces tremendous challenges such as lack of motivation and high dropout rates. However, one solution to this problem is the incorporation of digital pedagogical strategies based on gamification, which promote interest, facilitate the learning process, and contribute to reducing dropout. In this sense, we evaluated the student's…
