Gamification is emerging as an active learning innovation in medical education to enhance student engagement and promote life-long learning in a unique and collaborative environment. Clinical enzymology in biochemistry is one of the core topics in the medical curriculum. However, students face challenges in comprehension and retention of…

The multidisciplinary nature of physiology requires students to acquire, retain, apply, and evaluate knowledge from different scientific disciplines. Optimal learning techniques, such as active learning, interleaving topics and conditions, and recall, can greatly enhance the speed and effectiveness with which students achieve this type of…

This article discusses the benefits of using "Mafia"--a fun, interactive, low-cost, and easy-to-learn role-playing game--to explore organizational behavior (OB) topics. We explain how "Mafia" can be used in the classroom to discuss OB topics, including dynamics of teamwork, disagreement and conflict, decision-making, trust,…

The study examines the levels of understanding logarithmic expressions within the frames of a mathematical card game. The game is based on the popular card game Saboteur. In this paper, we analyse the progress of a group of six undergraduate students participating in a remedial course using games for recalling some fundamental mathematical…

The number of scientific publications about serious games has exponentially increased, often surpassing human limitations in processing such a large volume of information. Consequently, the importance of frameworks for summarising such fast-expanding literature has also grown. This paper draws a panorama of serious game research streams, focusing…

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop and determine the efficiency of instruction media in board games to enhance the capability in the Development of Thai Textbook and the happiness in learning for undergraduate students, 2) compare the undergraduate students' learning capability in the Development of Thai Textbook before and after…

Faced with the current unsustainability and recognizing the importance of engineering (and technology) in the Capitalocene, it is important to develop educational approaches that facilitate the awareness and training of engineering students to the sustainable future's construction. The main objective of the study is the evaluation of the…

Several studies highlight the effects of gamification on behavioral changes in education. Furthermore, the students' personality traits were shown to be an important factor on the different levels of perception of educational gamification systems. However, despite the importance of considering personality in educational gamification, little is…

This study examines the impact of a Local Revitalization RPG in Ishinomaki City, Japan, as a tool for enhancing regional attachment, cultural awareness, and educational engagement among university students. Following the devastating Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, Ishinomaki has sought innovative strategies to foster recovery and preserve…

Games and analogies can significantly enrich the learning experience when integrated with traditional expository teaching methods. With this aim, we developed "The Mystery of the Cell Kingdom," an online game designed to enhance understanding of the physiology of thyroid hormones through a medieval analogy. In the game, students are…

Gamifying educational practices is a trend in the field of education, especially in universities. Knowing which dimensions are significant in active gamified methodologies allows understanding the extent to which a dimension depends on another if there is a correlation between them. Through the GAMEX (gameful experience in gamification) scale,…

This dissertation observed and analyzed the experiences of five higher education students participating in a modified tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) intentionally modified for teaching adaptive leadership concepts. The study observed participants' capacity to learn the adaptive leadership concepts taught throughout the game and the ways in…

The increasingly neoliberal course of Higher Education is linked to rises in student anxiety around assessment and increased fear of the consequences of failure. Making mistakes is an inevitable part of any learning process (and of life generally) and managing failure in a productive and positive way is crucial for success and wellbeing beyond…

Intersection of education and deep learning method of artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually becoming a hot research field. Education will be profoundly transformed by AI. The purpose of this review is to help education practitioners understand the research frontiers and directions of AI applications in education. This paper reviews the…

In this study, we focus on a specific visual representation that is used across several mathematics and science content areas: the 'partitioned square' (PS). Previous research has examined PSs in single content areas in isolation, such as for mathematics polynomials or biology random mating, where the PS was generally in the service of other…
