Chun-Hsin Kuo; Meng-Jun Chen; Robasa Nababan; Hsiao-Ching She – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Game-based learning (GBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to engage students in learning through games, but little emphasis has been placed on scaffolding support for students, which hinders their learning. Therefore, our design of Space Adventure GBL ties games closely to scaffolds at every stage and investigates what role games and…

Sosa, Jorge Jhonattan Castellanos; Aguilar, Francy Karina Maldonado – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
This work shows how playing chess creates capacities in the student such as increasing visual memory. This helps to classify information in an orderly manner in the mind and contributes to a better understanding of geometric transformations such as displacements, turns and similarities. This was done with a mixed technique (Quantitative and…

John L. Nietfeld; Kristin F. Hoffmann – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Goal setting has been established in the literature as a critical component of self-regulated learning and for effective problem-solving. Yet, surprisingly little attention has been focused on goal-directed behaviour in digital game-based learning environments (GBLEs) despite their expanding use in educational contexts. Objectives: The…

The conceptual change approach has been a prevalent theoretical foundation for comprehending students' acquisition of scientific knowledge. Despite its extensive use, only a limited number of studies have employed this framework to examine the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL). The GBL was utilized to teach 101 middle school students…

Espinoza, Cecilia; Orvis, Kathryn S.; Brophy, Sean P. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This research investigates students' learning about the electron transport chain (ETC) process in photosynthesis by watching a video followed by playing a serious board game--"Electron Chute"--that models ETC. The learning objectives targeted enriching a mental model that students could use to explain the causal relationship of the ETC…

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has unique factors that can engage students in the learning process. It has been shown that incorporating DGBL into mathematics can help bridge the learning gap, differentiate instruction, and engage students (Yang et al., 2018; Hulse et al., 2019; Chen et al., 2012; Naik, 2017). This study examined how students'…
