Lu, Zhuotao; Chiu, Ming M.; Cui, Yunhuo; Mao, Weijie; Lei, Hao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
This meta-analysis determined game-based learning's (GBL) overall effect on students' computational thinking (CT) and tested for moderators, using 28 effect sizes from 24 studies of 2,134 participants. The random effects model results showed that GBL had a significant positive overall effect on students' CT (g = 0.677, 95% confidence interval…
