Nathalie Barz; Manuela Benick; Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich; Franziska Perels – Review of Educational Research, 2024
Digital game-based learning (DGBL) interventions can be superior to traditional instruction methods for learning, but previous meta-analyses covered a huge period and included a variety of different target groups, limiting the results' transfer on specific target groups. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis is a theory-based examination of…

Cailyn N. Dougherty; Michelle Parker – English in Texas, 2023
Video games' popularity has continued to increase from their origins within a niche community to something engaged in by the general public. This field of literacy-making has a plethora of benefits to bridging skills both within and outside of the ELAR classroom for students of various backgrounds and skill sets, including language learners and…

Let's Play (LP) is the term used to describe the videos of people providing commentary as they play video games that follow either live streaming or pre-edited format uploaded in online video sharing platforms. Previous studies on LP have shown its possible use in literary practice and pedagogical potential. This paper goes deeper into the…

Matthew Mauntel; Michelle Zandieh – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
In this article we analyze how students reason about linear combinations across multiple digital environments. We present the work of three groups of undergraduate students in the Southeast United States (US) who were considered ready to take linear algebra. The students played the game "Vector Unknown," reflected upon aspects of their…

Evans, Rhiannon; Midford, Sarah – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2022
We argue that students can understand an historical period by building on the foundations of their existing knowledge. Specifically, popular media can be used to develop students' historical literacies -- that is their ability to engage with past societies vastly different from their own. Our methodology takes inspiration from the ancient Romans'…

Amy Price; Alex Beckey; Dave Collins – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2024
Background: In recent years there has been a growing interest in potential pedagogical tools to be used in Physical Education (PE), and specifically in games. This has involved the exploration of both Gamification and Digital Video Games Approach (DVGA). Both are viable pedagogical tools for any teacher, and each have clearly different intentions…

Rosengrant, David; Money, Philip; Beyer, Tracey; Alexander, Berkil – Physics Teacher, 2019
Some educators use what we call a "hook" as a key element in their lessons. We use "hooks" to get our students interested in what it is we are teaching. Many teachers have adopted the Next Generation Science Standards and establish the phenomena as the engine that drives scientific investigation and learning in the classroom.…

Price, Amy; Collins, Dave; Stoszkowski, John; Pill, Shane – Quest, 2018
Over the past decade, there has been ongoing debate relating to the use of suitable pedagogical approaches for designing learning environments to develop skillful games players. There has, however, been little consideration of the "digital age of learning" and the global success of the digital video game industry. Using the educational…

Moseley, Alex – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2018
The use of real contexts in learning has been of central interest to educational developments such as experiential learning, case studies, work placements and simulations. They centre around the benefits of putting students in realistic situations, using real tools to solve real/realistic problems. A growing number of learning games are making use…

Czauderna, André; Guardiola, Emmanuel – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2019
The field of game design for educational content lacks a focus on methodologies that merge gameplay and learning. Existing methodologies typically fall short in three ways: they neglect the unfolding of gameplay through players' actions over a short period of time as a significant unit of analysis; they lack a common consideration of game and…

Wilcox, Steve – American Journal of Play, 2019
Game design offers a unique but often misunderstood pedagogical opportunity. The author draws on learning theory, feminist epistemology, and game studies to analyze a novel genre of games capable of realizing this opportunity by mobilizing knowledge through play--praxis games--founded on the concept of situated praxis. Situated praxis encourages…

Parry, Rebecca; Howard, Frances; Penfold, Louisa – Learning, Media and Technology, 2020
Traditionally media production with young people has been characterized by an aspiration to 'give voice' or 'empower youth', but this core value is under threat. Recently, the rationale for undertaking youth media production has shifted to focus on enabling young people to acquire digital and entrepreneurial skills that serve the needs of rapidly…

Carolyn J. Stufft – Texas Association for Literacy Education Yearbook, 2014
While videogames have not been widely embraced in the classroom (e.g., Halverson, 2005; Rice, 2007), researchers (e.g., Abrams, 2009; Abrams, Gerber, & Burgess, 2012; Gee, 2007; Gee & Hayes, 2010) have made compelling arguments for the connection between videogames and literacy. There is now an emphasis on the variety of practices…
