Advancements in technology have increased so rapidly that calls for education reform centering on STEM have become louder and louder. Particularly, many researchers and educators are focusing on math, because of its pivotal role in STEM, and the low-performance ratings of students within the United States. One of the potential reforms being…

The design and application of educational board games have been emphasized in game-based learning. The integration of educational board games and augmented reality (AR) can help provide extensive cognitive-scaffolding for learners. This study proposed a dual-scaffolding framework that integrated peer-scaffolding and cognitive-scaffolding for an AR…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Game activities supported micro-teaching practices on middle school preservice mathematics teachers' TPACK self-efficacy perception levels. A single group pretest-posttest experimental design was employed. One hundred middle-school…

This paper describes the development and implementation of GAPc, a gamification project in chemistry. GAPc is an online active student-centered remedial teaching tool allowing prospective and enrolled students to electronically assess their knowledge of basic and advanced chemistry concepts via different game levels of expertise. This provides…

Orbital Battleship, published in 2016 in this "Journal," is a hands-on competitive exercise which has been shown to be an efficient tool to reinforce the knowledge of the atomic structure. We decided to give it a more futuristic look and are presenting VR Orbital Battleship, a completely immersive collaborative experience which, in…

Game-based learning (GBL) has been widely recognised in research, and evidently benefited for learners. However, what GBL is perceived by teachers and learners has been a concern that might impact on quality of teaching and learning in the GBL environment. Game-based pedagogy meticulously designed from a teacher's perspective was regarded as…

A challenge in digital learning games is assessing students' learning behaviors, which are often intertwined with game behaviors. How do we know whether students have learned enough or needed more practice at the end of their game play? To answer this question, we performed post hoc analyses on a prior study of the game "Decimal Point,"…

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of gamifying instruction in the English language proficiency of Grade 8 Filipino ESL students in one University in Bicol, Philippines, that offers Junior High School. The quasi-experimental single pretest-posttest design was used in the study. The researcher-made test which underwent series of…

This qualitative study sought to explore Malaysian novice chemistry teachers' experiences in teaching mixed-ability students during their teaching practicum, focusing on their instructional strategies for dealing with those learners in the class. The researchers employed purposive sampling to select 12 trainee teachers to be involved in…

During recent years coding education has been an important issue in many countries. Coding education has been an important topic for these countries. One of the reasons why coding education is being discussed by educators and other partners of the schools is that it is seen as a key competence for students, and workers at developing…

"Gamification is the process of using game thinking and game dynamics to engage audiences and solve problems", Zichermann (2011). The aim of this research is to facilitate the least-learned competencies in the English subject of students of Grade 8 in Tupi National High School for the academic year 2022-2023. With this, the researcher…

Despite research having highlighted the positive outcomes of the use of videogames to learn, their integration into school contexts remains rare. Literature recognizes the importance of user's technology acceptance to predict the intention to use and the adoption of new technology in several settings. So far, investigations have primarily focused…

As new introductory block-based coding applications for young students to learn basic computer science concepts, such as, loops and conditionals, continue to increase in popularity, it is necessary to consider the best method of teaching students these skills. Many of these products continue to exhibit programmatic misconceptions of these concepts…

This study is aimed at finding the impact of Englishgame-based Mobile Application (EBMA) on reading achievement and learning motivation of the students. It is an experimental research which uses test and questionnaire to gather the data. 119 samples (58 students of experimental group and 61 students of control group) are selected from eighth grade…

This paper situates a critical review of studies that we have conducted within the broader research literature to analyze the affordances of integrating modeling within disciplinarily-integrated games from computational thinking and science as practice perspectives. Across the studies, the analyses pursue two themes: (a) the role of agent-based…
