This study investigated how history education can be transferred to the virtual world in line with aesthetic and reality concerns through computer-aided design programs and how this transfer can contribute to the instructiveness of historical science. The study hypothesized that advanced technologies enable more effective visualization of…

The local environment can be explored to sustain effective sustainability learning. With this aim, new learning methodologies can be fostered, namely mobile and game-based learning, as is the case of the EduPARK app. This app supports innovative learning strategies through treasure hunt games, integrating multimedia and augmented reality…

Despite the rapid advancement of virtual reality (VR) and its integration into educational settings, the adoption of metaverse learning platforms often encounters challenges. These include technical limitations and a lack of understanding of how these platforms impact learning effectiveness and user engagement. Previous studies have revealed mixed…

This meta-analysis study aims to explore the game-based learning (GBL) effects on students' learning motivation and academic achievement in K-12 science education. Recently GBL has been broadly used for students with low learning motivation because the dynamic learning activities in computer games could provide benefits for K-12 education. We…

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…

In this paper, we present iSTART-Early, an intelligent tutoring system that provides automated instruction and practice on higher-order reading comprehension strategies to 3rd and 4th grade students. iSTART-Early provides personalized, interactive, game-based strategy instruction and practice on comprehension strategies (i.e., Ask It, Reword It,…

Today more than ever before, we have access to new technologies which provide unforeseen opportunities for educators to pursue new innovations in online education. Pursuing innovation is a complex process! It starts with an idea, but that needs to be coupled with the right team of experts willing to take big risks and put in the hard work to build…

Making education available to everyone is about opening new doors to the future world where people are living with their full abilities and potentials. This vision was acknowledged by UNESCO and it was one of the main motives for introducing Open Educational Resources (OER) in 2002. Over the last two decades, OER have made a positive impact on…

We apply an advanced data visualization technique, "Sankey diagram," to explore how middle-school students (N = 343) solved problems in a game-based algebraic notation tool. The results indicate that there is a large variation in the types of students' strategies to solve the problems, with some approaches being more efficient than…

This work presents an educational innovation performed during the academic year 2018/2019, consisting in some escape room activities with the students of the Social Education and the Infant Education degrees from the University of Jaén. This kind of activity have maintained, for many years, certain popularity within the educational field,…

Although badges are among the most-used game elements in gamified education, studies about their optimal features to motivate learning are scarce. How should a badge be designed to represent an incentive for a specific goal like optimal exam preparation? This study examines usage data of a higher education learning app to determine whether the…

Feedback in educational technologies can teach and engage students in math, but questions remain on how to present failure feedback that supports positive learning behaviors. We explore how error- and reward-based feedback influenced students' choices to replay completed problems in "From Here to There!," a math game-based educational…

The aim of this study is to examine the games in ABCya (https://www.abcya.com/) based on the learning trajectories for the development of number concept. To achieve this aim in the study it was examined which ABC educational game application support the learning trajectory and the development level related to number concept of games. This research…

The concept of equivalence can be elusive to students and can be confounded with unproductive understandings of the equals sign. Using the game-based digital algebraic notation system, From Here to There! (FH2T), students explore ideas of equivalence by dynamically transforming expressions or equations among mathematically equivalent states. In…

Mission HydroSci (MHS) teaches water systems and scientific argumentation towards meeting Next Generation Science Standards. MHS is a game-based 3D virtual environment for enacting transformational role-playing, wherein students must learn new knowledge and competencies in order to successfully complete the game missions. MHS was developed for…
