Abrams, Sandra Schamroth; Van Eck, Richard N. – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2021
Videogames and videogame literacies are an important and growing aspect of education, yet videogaming remains poorly understood and even viewed with suspicion by many who are charged with promoting them.

Herder, Tiffany – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Educational video games often engage students intuitively with visuals with quick, responsive actions to immerse students in authentic disciplinary practice.

Kenneth Pettersen; Christian Ehret – Journal of Literacy Research, 2024
Today, digital media technologies are ubiquitous and mundane, making the relationship between digital and analog messy and porous.

Stephanie Jeanelle Kinzinger – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation examines the possibilities and anxieties that attend a notion haunting Western thought since at least Kant--that reality itself is a revisable construct, a kind of collective game with social and physical rules that simultaneously delimit and solicit radical interactivity. Investigating experiments in the gamification of reality…

Valentine, Keri Duncan; Jensen, Lucas John – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
This phenomenological study opens up the embodied nature of play, adding to the field's understanding of embodiment as it manifests in a non-standardized (outside formal education) realm of human experience. The location-aware, augmented reality mobile game, "Pokémon Go," provided a viable context to consider the ways the game/device,…

Hashmi, Salim; Paine, Amy L.; Hay, Dale F. – Infant and Child Development, 2021
References to internal states (e.g., thoughts, feelings, and desires) indicate children's appreciation of people's inner worlds. Many children spend time playing video games; however, the nature of children's speech when doing so has received little attention. We investigated the use of internal state language (ISL) as 251 seven-year-olds played…

Faizan Ahmad; Momina Shaheen; Zeeshan Ahmed; Rubata Riasat; Sara Muneeb – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Undertaking cognitively stimulating activities over the course of life, such as playing brain games (BGs), is only possible if they continuously deliver a playful as well as playable experience. The understanding of how these subcomponents of experience (i.e. playfulness and playability) get influenced in both modes (single vs. two-player) of…
