Athanasios Christopoulos; Stylianos Mystakidis; Justyna Kurczaba; Mikko-Jussi Laakso; Chrysostomos Stylios – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Previous studies have found positive effects of Game-Based Learning for mathematics. While most studies assume that this effect is explained by the presence of flow/immersion during games, this has not yet been established. The aim of the current study is to verify if immersion indeed is associated with mathematical skills improvement when using a…

Karakasis, Christodoulos; Xinogalos, Stelios – Informatics in Education, 2020
At 21st century Computational Thinking (CT) is considered a fundamental skill that anyone should possess and develop from a young age. Serious games and more specifically educational games (EGs) are a promising means of introducing algorithmic thinking and programming concepts and engaging students through the process of learning. In this article,…
