Tongxi Liu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
To date, extensive work has been devoted to incorporating computational thinking in K-12 education. Recognizing students' computational thinking stages in game-based learning environments is essential to capture unproductive learning and provide appropriate scaffolding. However, few reliable and valid computational thinking measures have been…

Yi-Shiuan Chou; Huei-Tse Hou; Kuo-En Chang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The trend in history education is gradually emphasizing the development of historical thinking and collaborative problem-solving skills, which are expected to enhance the breadth and depth of learners' thinking. The integration of game-based learning with collaborative problem-solving activities designed for historical thinking is expected to help…

Kuan-Fu Chen; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Mei-Rong Alice Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Many studies have incorporated concept maps into digital games to enable learners to make connections between subject concepts in the game. However, most learners do not associate spontaneously with the thematic concepts in the game but need to be facilitated by effective scaffolding mechanisms to reconceptualize the learning process and content.…

Chou, Yi-Shiuan; Hou, Huei-Tse; Chang, Kuo-En; Su, Chien-Lun – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study proposed a cognitive-based game mechanism based on the revised Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive processing dimensions. Moreover, a mobile Chinese history educational game, Void Broken: The Qing Dynasty, was developed based on the cognitive-based game mechanism to promote learners' cognitive thinking in history learning. This empirical…

Jacques, Lorraine A. – Open Journal for Educational Research, 2020
Problem solving follows a cycle of inquiry where the individual iterates between finding possible paths and exploring their likely effectiveness before selecting one as a possible solution. The cycle is enhanced through proximal processes because the number of paths that can be explored in depth are greater when more people work on the same…

Biswas, Gautam; Rajendran, Ramkumar; Mohammed, Naveeduddin; Goldberg, Benjamin S.; Sottilare, Robert A.; Brawner, Keith; Hoffman, Michael – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Intelligent learning environments can be designed to support the development of learners' cognitive skills, strategies, and metacognitive processes as they work on complex decision-making and problem-solving tasks. However, the complexity of the tasks may impede the progress of novice learners. Providing adaptive feedback to learners who face…

Andriyani – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Cognitive and psychomotor capabilities are two critical interrelated abilities to improve student learning outcomes. Both abilities play a role in understanding new information and developing fine motor skills. Hence, schools train students these two abilities to equip them with basic skills in solving mathematical problems such as basic…

Kleinman, Erica; Shergadwala, Murtuza N.; Teng, Zhaoqing; Villareale, Jennifer; Bryant, Andy; Zhu, Jichen; Seif El-Nasr, Magy – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
Educational technology is shifting toward facilitating personalized learning. Such personalization, however, requires a detailed understanding of students' problem-solving processes. Sequence analysis (SA) is a promising approach to gaining granular insights into student problem solving; however, existing techniques are difficult to interpret…

Bartolucci, Marco; Mattioli, Francesco; Batini, Federico – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2019
In recent years, the authors have witnessed the rebirth of board games. This contribution aims to investigate the educational potential of non-random board games in two ways: the comparison of performances of "expert adult players" and "adult non-players" through a correlation study (n=45) and the comparison between the results…

Tsai, Fu-Hsing; Hsu, I.-Ying – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
This research aimed to develop a computer detective game for science education to provide students in experiencing real-world problem-solving after learning electricity-related knowledge, and to explore the effects of designing the guidance of process constraints and prompts into this game. To explore the effects of guidance, two different game…
