Dell'Aquila, Elena; Vallone, Federica; Zurlo, Maria Clelia; Marocco, Davide – Education Sciences, 2022
This study focuses on the behavior of interactive agents and how to ground their implementation in psychology and cognitive modeling to capture fundamental psycho-pedagogical elements to deliver an effective competency-based training and assessment tool for teachers, trainers, and educators working in the school context. The study describes the…

Kozyar, Mykhaylo M.; Nanivska, Lidiia L.; Romanyshyna, Oksana Ya.; Romanyshyn, Andriy M.; Yakimets, Yurii M. – International Journal of Higher Education, 2020
Modernization of the military system and its content has enhanced the value of the foreign language as a subject aimed at the formation of communicative competence of future officers. It mainly concerns a professional language, which is an obligatory part of the cadets' professional training. One of the main tasks of foreign language training of…

Zou, Bin, Ed.; Thomas, Michael, Ed. – IGI Global, 2018
Technology has become an integral part of our everyday lives. As today's teachers prepare to instruct a new generation of students, the question is no longer whether technology should be integrated into the classroom, but "how?" "The Handbook of Research on Integrating Technology Into Contemporary Language Learning and…

Whitton, Nicola – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2012
Digital games have the potential to create active and engaging environments for learning, supporting problem-solving, communication and group activities, as well as providing a forum for practice and learning through failure. The use of game techniques such as gradually increasing levels of difficulty and contextual feedback support learning, and…

Schwartz, Ruth N. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2012
This Forum paper explores how Matthew Gaydos and Kurt Squire in their manuscript, "CITIZEN SCIENCE: Role Playing Games for Scientific Citizenship," represent issues of games literacy and science literacy. What is the meaning of expertise in the context of games-based learning? An examination of the studies presented suggests that games, like other…

Mariais, Christelle; Michau, Florence; Pernin, Jean-Philippe – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
To strengthen the motivation of learners, the professional training sector is focusing more and more on game-based learning. In this context, the authors have become interested in the design of Learning Role-Play Game (LRPG) scenarios. The aim of this article is to improve the designers' confidence in the validity of the game-based learning…

Bedek, Michael; Seitlinger, Paul; Kopeinik, Simone; Albert, Dietrich – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2012
Digital educational games (DEGs) possess the potential of providing an appealing and intrinsically motivating learning context. Usually this potential is either taken for granted or examined through questionnaires or interviews in the course of evaluation studies. However, an "adaptive" game would increase the probability of a DEG being…

Wimpenny, Katherine; Savin-Baden, Maggi; Mawer, Matt; Steils, Nicole; Tombs, Gemma – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
In the changing context of globalised higher education, a series of pedagogical shifts have occurred, and with them, a number of interactive learning approaches have emerged. This article reports on findings taken from a large-scale study that explored the socio-political impact of virtual world learning on higher education in the UK, specifically…

Lisk, Timothy C.; Kaplancali, Ugur T.; Riggio, Ronald E. – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
With their increased popularity, games open up possibilities for simultaneous learning on multiple levels; players may learn from contextual information embedded in the narrative of the game and through the risks, benefits, costs, outcomes, and rewards of the alternative strategies that result from fast-paced decision making. Such dynamics also…

Frank, Anders – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
A risk associated with the use of games in training and education is that players "game the game," instead of focusing on their learning goals. The term "gamer mode" is proposed to describe this attitude. A player with a gamer-mode attitude strives to achieve goals that are optimal for winning the game, but suboptimal with…

Gaydos, Matthew J.; Squire, Kurt D. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2012
Research has shown that video games can be good for learning, particularly for STEM topics. However, in order for games to be scalable and sustainable, associated research must move beyond considerations of efficacy towards theories that account for classroom ecologies of students and teachers. This study asks how a digital game called "Citizen…

Williams, Fred D. – 1984
An adventure game is a role-playing game that usually, but not always, has some fantasy aspect. The role-playing aspect is the key element because players become personally involved when they assume a role, and defeat becomes personal and less acceptable than in other types of games. Computer-based role-playing games are extremely popular because…
