Kirk Vanacore; Adam Sales; Alison Liu; Erin Ottmar – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: Persisting after experiencing difficulty allows students to work in the upper ends of their zones of proximal development, where most learning occurs (Ventura et al., 2013; Vygotsky & Cole, 1978). Digital educational games promote productive persistence by allowing students to repeat the same or similar problems until they reach…

Nguyen, Huy Anh; Hou, Xinying; Stamper, John; McLaren, Bruce M. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
A challenge in digital learning games is assessing students' learning behaviors, which are often intertwined with game behaviors. How do we know whether students have learned enough or needed more practice at the end of their game play? To answer this question, we performed post hoc analyses on a prior study of the game "Decimal Point,"…
