Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Karen D.; Cock, Jade Maï; Käser, Tanja; Bumbacher, Engin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
Technology-based, open-ended learning environments (OELEs) can capture detailed information of students' interactions as they work through a task or solve a problem embedded in the environment. This information, in the form of log data, has the potential to provide important insights about the practices adopted by students for scientific inquiry…

Kiili, Kristian – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2007
Educational games may offer a viable strategy for developing students' problem-solving skills. However, the state of art of educational game research does not provide an account for that. Thus, the aim of this research is to develop an empirically allocated model about problem-based gaming that can be utilised to design pedagogically meaningful…

Learning Theory Approaches and Teaching Methods.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fardanesh, Hashem – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2002
Considers meaningful learning as the prime goal of education. Discusses characteristics of meaningful learning, including active, constructive, cumulative, goal oriented, and self-regulated; memory and organization of knowledge; problem solving ability; and models of instruction and learning theories, including novice versus expert.

The Use of Computer Games as an Educational Tool: Identification of Appropriate Game Types and Game Elements.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Amory, Alan; Naicker, Kevin; Vincent, Jacky; Adams, Claudia – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1999
Describes research with college students that investigated commercial game types and game elements to determine what would be suitable for education. Students rated logic, memory, visualization, and problem solving as important game elements that are used to develop a model that links pedagogical issues with game elements. (Author/LRW)
