In the last decade, video games became a common vehicle for citizen science initiatives in life science, allowing participants to contribute to real scientific data analysis while learning about it. Since 2010, our scientific discovery game (SDG) Phylo enlists participants in comparative genomic data analysis. It is frequently used as a learning…

This article reports on a design-based research study centered on the conception and the assessment of the "Pyrates" application. This online serious game aims at introducing Python programming to K-12 students while easing the transition from block-based to text-based languages. After we present the various aspects underlying the…

This study aims to identify teachers' selection/adoption of valuing pedagogy (VP) to implement an affect-focused mathematics teaching design with technological support. Valuing pedagogy is defined as teaching methods to address educational values and operationally defined as perceived, implemented, and received curricula, manifested by teacher…

Computer programming is essential nowadays but still challenging to learn due to its invisible thinking. Current programming environments are mostly designed for operating on computers directly to learn concrete programming, but this approach lacks the support for clarifying learners' thinking processes. On the other hand, using paper and pens…

The purposes of the current study were to examine the effectiveness of the multimedia computer-based lessons on programming with Scratch in Technology integrated with the TGT cooperative learning technique based on the 80/80 efficiency criterion, to compare the learning achievement of Grade 7 students between those taught using multimedia…

Game-based learning (GBL) is an effective learning tool for medical and dental undergraduates in enhancing knowledge and skills as well as gaining student engagement and motivation. Educational games can create a social constructivist learning environment, where learners can construct their knowledge through interactions with their peers and…

This research aims to examine the effects of Kahoot, a technology-based gamification tool, on the learning process. The research design is qualitative and uses meta-thematic analysis to analyze data collected through document analysis and content analysis of 40 studies. The results show that Kahoot has positive impacts on students' cognitive,…

Learning history is vital for students' intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical development. Students perceive history subject as difficult and boring because they must memorize facts and understand those facts, concepts, time, and historical events. Interactive multimedia can increase students' enthusiasm and make the teaching and…

"Ghosts of the Argonne" is an interactive virtual reality (VR) recreation of the World War 1 (WW1) M1897 "French 75" field artillery gun, intended to teach learners about WW1 and its impact on the world, the role of artillery and artillerymen in this war, and the stories of real soldiers who served. The "Ghosts of the…

The background of this research is the need for teacher innovation in developing digital-based learning media in Indonesian language learning. The research method used is research and development (R&D) with the analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model, which consists of five research stages: analysis, planning,…

Traditional teaching methods often limit interactive learning, negatively impacting students' motivation and learning achievement. Moreover, fostering collaborative awareness and problem-solving skills is crucial for developing the core competencies of future nursing professionals. To address these challenges, this study proposed an escape…

The need for online educational tools has increased significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic forced many students to embrace distance learning as a classroom alternative. While many instructors have used "Edpuzzle" to enhance distance learning, there has been little research that assesses and compares the views of teachers and students…

This research considers the need to train teachers who can effectively integrate technology for teaching and learning mathematics. The primary goal of this research is to showcase a successful training experience by identifying and describing some indicators of the technological pedagogical content knowledge acquired by pre-service early childhood…

Background: In recent years there has been a growing interest in potential pedagogical tools to be used in Physical Education (PE), and specifically in games. This has involved the exploration of both Gamification and Digital Video Games Approach (DVGA). Both are viable pedagogical tools for any teacher, and each have clearly different intentions…

Many scientific concepts and theorems are often abstract and challenging to relate to real-life problems, making it difficult for students to grasp them. Therefore, some researchers have attempted to enhance students' understanding by employing a contextual learning approach, which allows students to apply scientific knowledge to real situations…
