Liu, Zhichun; Moon, Jewoong; Kim, Byungjoo; Dai, Chih-Pu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
In this synthesis, we systematically review research on educational games with adaptivity. Although an adaptive gaming experience provides personalization to learning, the complexity of design makes it difficult to evaluate its effectiveness. In this systematic review, we adopt three analytic approaches: (1) bibliometric analysis, (2) qualitative…

Chen, Ching-Huei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
The present study investigates how the different modes of game-design triggers learning outcomes, focusing on peer learning and intergroup competition. A problem-solving science game was developed to help secondary students to learn about the motion of objects. Participants (N = 110) from an urban middle school were randomly assigned to four…

Ronimus, Miia; Eklund, Kenneth; Pesu, Laura; Lyytinen, Heikki – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
This study investigates the effectiveness of a digital game--GraphoLearn (GL)--in supporting second-grade students who have persistent difficulties with acquiring accurate and fluent reading skills. The participants (N = 37) were randomly assigned either to a 6-week intervention including sessions with GL, in addition to school-provided support,…

Proske, Antje; Roscoe, Rod D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Achieving sustained student engagement with practice in computer-based writing strategy training can be a challenge. One potential solution is to foster engagement by embedding practice in educational games; yet there is currently little research comparing the effectiveness of game-based practice versus more traditional forms of practice. In this…

Wu, Chia-Jung; Chen, Gwo-Dong; Huang, Chi-Wen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
EFL learners in Taiwan have a low-level communication ability because many learners are still not provided opportunities to use language for genuine communication in classrooms and receive insufficient language input due to the environment. This study examines the use of digital board game language learning set in a task-collaborative platform,…

Eseryel, Deniz; Ifenthaler, Dirk; Ge, Xun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
The important but little understood problem that motivated this study was the lack of research on valid assessment methods to determine progress in higher-order learning in situations involving complex and ill-structured problems. Without a valid assessment method, little progress can occur in instructional design research with regard to designing…
