Researchers have indicated the importance of engaging learners in self-regulated learning (SRL) states when situated in game-based learning contexts; however, it remains a challenge for both educational and educational technology researchers to effectively integrate both. To this end, this study investigated how SRL strategies are interwoven with…

Student performance, disciplinary innovation and teaching methodology occupy the main concerns of educational research. Therefore, there is a greater interest in gamification strategies, where digital tools facilitate the development of competitive activities and strengthening of learning. One example of this idea is the use of video games created…

This article aims to systematically explore the literature on game-based learning in higher education, focusing on its impacts on students' thinking and learning. Prisma method was employed to analysis the data. The article published between 2016 to 2023 from Web of Science, Scopus and Eric were taken into consideration for this study with the…

Purpose: Higher education is undergoing a significant transformation, demanding a rethinking of instructional methods, the establishment of novel assessment frameworks and the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies to advance the development of learning competencies. The use of simulations is an alternative that offers satisfactory results…

Although digital game-based learning (DGBL) has the potential to enhance learning motivation and complex cognitive skills of students, its adoption and effectiveness are heavily dependent on lecturers' acceptance. Comprehending lecturers' perceptions and beliefs underlying their decision-making processes is therefore significant. This study…

Background Study: Gamification is an effective and interactive approach to engaging students in teaching and learning. As digital technology develops, higher education institutions (HEIs) must embrace and keep pace with gamification for interactive teaching and learning approaches. Objective: The purpose of this study is to review gamification in…

Quantum computing is an emerging and quickly expanding domain that captivates scientists and engineers. Recognizing the limitations of conventional educational approaches in adequately preparing individuals for their incursion in this area, this research introduces a novel board game called "Qubit: The Game," whose objective is twofold:…

The aim of this study resonated with the pursuit of achieving enhanced engagement in teaching and learning that informs critical thinking, and knowledge retention among students. Despite the growing trend of technological integration in teaching and learning, however, there exists a lack of empirical evidence and comprehensive studies that…

How can educators use games and playful interactions to enhance the practice of skills related to leadership and management? Effective leadership involves a number of skills, such as strategic thinking, perspective-taking, critical thinking, ethical thinking, resource management, and reflection on one's biases. In this article, we will review how…

Cognitive dissonance is an important element in adult learning in that it challenges previously held ideas in favor of new knowledge. In-class simulations and game-based learning are used as innovative and effective pedagogical tools in challenging adult learners and enhancing the students' ability to think critically about larger societal needs.…

This study explores the contribution of serious game teaching technology, such as FLIGBY, to the development of entrepreneurial learning outcomes in the context of an entrepreneurship course in higher education. The sample is composed of 551 students through the construction of a randomized pretest-posttest control group. A quantitative…

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to develop an innovative pedagogic tool: an escape room board game to be played in-class, targeting an introduction to an ethics course for engineering students. The design is student-centred and aims to increase students' appreciation, commitment and motivation to learning ethics, a challenging endeavour for…

Proponents of game-based learning see potential for the inclusion of Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) in higher education. Research has shown that an ARG can support the induction and socialisation of students but engagement in educational ARGs has been disappointing. We explored whether students could learn via an ARG embedded in curriculum: if…

Given the increasing emphasis on game-based approaches (GBAs) and the critical importance of cultivating creativity, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive examination of this emerging interdisciplinary field. The present study employs a scoping review methodology to provide an overview of the existing research that utilized GBAs as a means…

Interprofessional learning (IPL) is a fundamental component of the curricula on healthcare degree programmes, however maintaining student engagement/motivation in IPL sessions presents challenges. 'Gamification' poses an innovative pedagogical technique to improve engagement. This study aimed to evaluate staff/student perspectives on the use of…
