In an educational environment, instructors would always think of ways to provide students with motivational learning materials and efficient learning strategies. Hence, many researchers have proposed that students' problem-solving ability enhances their learning. Problem-solving ability plays an important role for users in dealing with problems that arise during their learning. In order to facilitate high quality performance, computer programmers have been trained to solve the problems they encountered. The purpose of this study is to design and develop an e-learning game-based environment integrated with problem-based learning strategies for college freshman majored in computer science.
