Over the past few years, language teaching has progressively evolved from teacher-fronted classroom settings to more complex, learner-centered scenarios, allowing learners to explore authentic contents, work collaboratively, and create sophisticated and socially relevant products. In addition, these processes foster language learning, increase…

Critical factors that influence the value of digital game-based learning (DGBL) for enhancing learning effectiveness remain debatable. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), people can be autonomously motivated to adopt DGBL to enhance learning effectiveness if their basic psychological needs are satisfied. Additionally, studies that…

This paper describes an innovative approach for teaching the challenges in the management of data warehouse development. The approach contains lecture material providing conceptual background about the management of data warehouse development, a simulation game supporting experiential learning, and a post-play debriefing to support synthesis of…

The role of gamification in Australian higher educational learning has gained increasing currency in recent years, with many proponents promoting its usefulness for improving the university student experience by increasing progression and lowering attrition, particularly among first year students (Charles, Charles, McNeill, Bustard, & Black,…

The presence of technology is one of prominent characteristics of the 21st century learning system. This study aims to seek the influences of hybrid learning with video conference and chemistry on android game (chemondro-game) on students' self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, and achievement toward chemistry of hydrocarbon topics. Through…

Science is regularly taught in ways that make the data unessential, theoretical, and disengaged from students' experiences. Although most students do anticipate to learn science, they regularly see it as being presented in uninteresting ways. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using LARO (Learners Active Response to Operant)…

Recruitment, retention, and preparation of students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields are critical to meeting the global challenges of the 21st century. Gamification--game playing concepts used in another activity--has been postulated as an active teaching strategy that engages students, encourages a sense of community,…

Background: Although there is some reported success in using gamification to improving engagement, others have critiqued that these video game like strategies are a mere "repackaging" of established classroom strategies. Many experiments with gamification, however, have only focused on those features that emphasize extrinsic rewards…

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to assess differences between US K-12 teachers who participated in digital game-based learning (DGBL) and those who participated in digital learning (DL), in terms of pre-/posttest gains in computational thinking (CT) and pre-/posttest changes in perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived…

Research indicates that students frequently struggle to apply their knowledge of organic compounds' structural theory to understand the concepts related to resonance and learn to use curved arrows to write resonance structures. Educators have developed educational tools and methodologies to aid students in overcoming their learning difficulties.…

Qualitative and quantitative research methods were undertaken to examine and develop a digitally based virtual classroom learning environment (VCLE) for Thai undergraduate students' creative thinking and innovation enhancement in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEM/STEAM) disciplines. The research methodology was divided into…

Considerable advances in the capabilities of modern mobile devices have enabled their use as powerful educational tools. Today, mobile learning games are widely used as creative platforms for teaching and learning, offering enjoyable and ubiquitous educational content. This study describes the design and evaluation of a mobile Arabic orthography…

The COVID-19 has impacted education all over the world, especially many African countries where the experience of the pandemic has been distressing. While the need for distance learning was clear from the outset of the pandemic, achieving effective reach to learners was more complex, multifaceted and challenging task, facing to many issues:…

Explore Learning contracted with LearnPlatform, a third-party edtech research company, to examine the relationship between student usage of Frax and math learning outcomes. Frax is a game-based, adaptive technology designed using the latest research on effective fractions instruction to support all learners in meeting early standards for fractions…

The effectiveness of educational games is contingent upon players staying engaged. When players become stuck, the availability of in-game instructional guidance can help them to overcome obstacles and continue to progress. In this study, we examined the impact of different formats for instructional assets designed to support learners as they play…
