The article discusses the efficacy of game-based learning (GBL) in logistics education, specifically through an empirical evaluation of the "Logistics Simulator LOST." Recognizing the complexities of evaluating serious games--interactive serious games platforms designed for educational, purpose--the article emphasizes the need for games…

Being efficient learners is important in the modern workforce, but improved performance and cognitive load do not imply that students are efficient learners. This study investigated the effectiveness of a personalized role-playing game in students' learning efficiency (LE) and mental efficiency. Results showed that students in the personalized…

With the prominence of assessments in education, there is an increasing need to create new forms of assessment that more accurately reflect the needs of the entire student population, particularly neurodivergent learners. To address this challenge, this paper explores the potential for using eye tracking data in a game-based learning environment…

Gamification is a learning technique that transfers the mechanics of games to the educational environment in order to achieve better pedagogical results mediated by technological tools, this technique is used as an alternative to the traditional teaching methodology that is increasingly used in higher education, which is why the objective of the…

Game-based learning has gained significant attention from educational researchers because of its ability to create an engaging and enjoyable learning environment for students. However, there was a research gap regarding the design of game mechanics that specifically helped students understand abstract scientific concepts. Also, the impact of…

Kahoot!, a game-based student response system, is increasingly being incorporated into classrooms to maintain student engagement, improve classroom dynamics, and enhance learning outcomes. However, empirical studies exploring how using Kahoot! affects university students' learning, particularly in China, are scant. This exploratory, one-group,…

The characteristic differences of participants affect their reactions to various gamification elements. Thus, it is critical to reveal the impact different type of students on gamified interventions, and the relation of personality features and gamified learning process. In this study, it is compered the motivation and perception of participants…

Gamification is a pedagogical strategy that uses the principles and mechanics of game play to facilitate student learning. Despite increased adoption over the last decade, the question of how effective gamification is as a pedagogical strategy remains controversial. Here we report on the impact of a custom developed mobile app that incorporates…

The paper presents an experiment with a squiggle game in a design class: a joint drawing activity. The squiggle game, which comes from psychoanalysis, has been adapted to a teaching-learning situation in order to observe how graphic design practices and skills develop through creativity. The hypothesis is that the game impacts the training of…

This meta-analysis aims to investigate gamification's impact on improving tertiary-level second-language learners' lexical repertoire. Forty-seven peer-reviewed works were evaluated for this analysis. The analysis focused on determining the effectiveness of gamified learning environments in the context of improving vocabulary and learning and…

Active learning is an engaging way of teaching and even experienced professors may not know how to start implementing its techniques to make classes more dynamic. Teaching cases can be a very useful active method of instruction, as an opportunity to assign students roles in the case discussion, centering them as the protagonists of their own…

The flow experience (i.e., challenge-skill balance, action-awareness merging, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, concentration, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness, transformation of time, and "autotelic" experience) is an experience highly related to the learning experience. One of the current challenges is to identify whether…

This study investigates the influence of the educational game design elements "immersion," "collaboration" and "debriefing," on fostering learning with educational escape rooms. We based the design of the escape room on an educational game design framework that aligns the learning goal and the game goal, that is,…

Our paper seeks to investigate how mediation using emerging technologies can increase student engagement within the context of teaching English Literature in Singapore. Through a discussion of our ongoing project to create an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" as an animated game in virtual reality, we focus upon the…

This research delves into the comparative analysis of brain activity using gamification in the classroom versus traditional teaching. This study aims to employ neurotechnology to record and analyse the impact of active gamification methodology on relevant variables in the learning process within a traditional university education setting,…
