Weisberg, Lauren; Dawson, Kara; Dana, Nancy Fichtman – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2022
Educators have recently begun using digital breakout games as an instructional strategy in K-12 and higher ed curricula. However, research has thus far explored outcomes associated with playing these games, rather than designing them. This study investigates what happened when 23 preservice teachers in a technology integration course designed…

Allison Liu; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Ji-Eun Lee; Lauren E. Decker-Woodrow; Shihfen Tu; Adam Sales; Craig A. Mason – Grantee Submission, 2022
The current study investigated how prior knowledge moderated the effects of three educational technologies ("From Here to There," "DragonBox 12+," and problem sets in "ASSISTments") on seventh-grade students' later algebraic knowledge. Pretest scores only moderated effects of "From Here to There," with…

Seralidou, Eleni; Douligeris, Christos – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The effective teaching of the concept of programming, where critical thinking is an important factor, is not so easy in secondary education. New teaching approaches, including, game-based learning, may provide a solution due to their inclusion of more fun and diverse activities but they still lack the active participation of the students in the…

Shakeel Mohammad Cassam Atchia; Dhavini Chummun; Saheel Luckho – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study uses a case study methodology to showcase the use of the DTSICM (Design thinking Strategy to Identify and Clear Misconceptions) model, which provides a design thinking approach to identify and clear a common misconception on photosynthesis, held by a sample of 27 A-level students. As a first stage, data collected through the…

Annetta, Leonard; Lamb, Richard; Bressler, Denise M.; Vallett, David B. – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2020
The purpose of this study was to identify the underlying cognitive attributes used during the design and development of science-based serious educational games. Study methods rely on a modification of cognitive diagnostics, item response theory, and Bayesian estimation with traditional statistical techniques such as factor analysis and model fit…

Malegiannaki, Irini; Daradoumis, Thanasis; Retalis, Symeon – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2021
Serious games are used in the field of cultural heritage as a means to transmit cultural knowledge and enable an experiential contact with cultural content. The authors' aim is to investigate whether a game design exploiting the less used combination of complex storytelling, endogenous cooperation, and competition has the potential to sufficiently…

Clark, Douglas B.; Sengupta, Pratim – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
This paper situates a critical review of studies that we have conducted within the broader research literature to analyze the affordances of integrating modeling within disciplinarily-integrated games from computational thinking and science as practice perspectives. Across the studies, the analyses pursue two themes: (a) the role of agent-based…

Elisabeth Gee; Kelly M. Tran; Priyanka Parekh – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
This design case describes the development of three analog games intended to introduce middle school-age girls to core computer science (CS) concepts. We describe the learning objectives, game mechanics, and narrative elements of each game, and some key problems and decisions that we confronted during the design process. Our design process was…
