Ouherrou, Nihal; Elhammoumi, Oussama; Benmarrakchi, Fatimaezzahra; El Kafi, Jamal – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
Children with Learning Disabilities (LDs) show some emotional difficulties and behavioral problems in classroom compared with their peers without LDs. Emotions constitute an important part of the learning process. Recent evidence suggests that the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in special education permits to remove barriers…

Ke, Fengfeng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
This mixed methods study is aimed to examine the feasibility of integrating mathematical problem solving with architectural design via a 3D epistemic simulation game to promote active mathematics learning for middle-school students. The experimental-control pretest/posttest group design was adopted to examine whether the experience of interacting…

Rushby, Nick – Educational Technology, 2016
One of the key trends in learning technology in recent years has been the growing interest in simulations and serious games. Much of the research into simulations and serious games has tended to focus on aspects of fun and engagement rather than on what is happening in the process to cause transferable learning. Much of it has been based on small…

Terzidou, Theodouli; Tsiatsos, Thrasyvoulos; Miliou, Christina; Sourvinou, Athanasia – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
This study proposes and applies a novel concept for an AI enhanced serious game collaborative environment as a supplementary learning tool in tertiary education. It is based on previous research that investigated pedagogical agents for a serious game in the OpenSim environment. The proposed AI features to support the serious game are the…

Sung, Han-Yu; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Wu, Po-Han; Lin, Dai-Qi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Facilitating students' deep-strategy behaviors and positive learning performances of science inquiry is an important and challenging educational issue. In this study, a contextual science inquiry approach is proposed for developing a 3D experiential game to cope with this problem. To evaluate the impacts of the game on students' science learning…

Ak, Oguz; Kutlu, Birgul – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of traditional, 2D and 3D game-based environments assessed by student achievement scores and to reveal student perceptions of the value of these learning environments. A total of 60 university students from the Faculty of Education who were registered in three sections of a required…

Lukosch, Heide; Kurapati, Shalini; Groen, Daan; Verbraeck, Alexander – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2017
Games have been successfully used in educational settings for many years. Still, it is not known in detail which factors influence the use and effectiveness of educational games. The game environment, its technology, and other game mechanics are factors directly linked to the game itself. The player's experience with the subject of the game and/or…

Liu, Tsung-Yu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
This study investigates how educational games impact on students' academic performance and multimedia flow experiences in a computer science course. A curriculum consists of five basic learning units, that is, the stack, queue, sort, tree traversal, and binary search tree, was conducted for 110 university students during one semester. Two groups…

Franciosi, Stephan J.; Yagi, Junichi; Tomoshige, Yuuki; Ye, Suying – CALICO Journal, 2016
Recent studies have shown that simulation games may be useful tools for supporting foreign language education. However, much of this research has focused on games using 3D graphic technology, which entail technical requirements that may render them too complex for use in many educational contexts. Accordingly, we wanted to determine if less…

Huang, Yong-Ming; Huang, Yueh-Min – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
Vocabulary is the foundation for students who learn a foreign language. Nevertheless, students may be bored by the painstaking process of rote learning. To this end, this study designed a handheld sensor-based vocabulary game based on a scaffolding strategy for improving students' motivation and achievement in vocabulary learning. On the one hand,…

Nguyen, Tung Nhu – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2015
Motivational effects during a simulated educational game should be studied because a general concern of lecturers is motivating students and increasing their knowledge. Given advances in internet technology, traditional short in-class games are being substituted with long web-based games. To maximize the benefits of web-based simulation games, a…

Nussbaum, E. Michael; Owens, Marissa C.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Rehmat, Abeera P.; Cordova, Jacqueline R.; Ahmad, Sajjad; Harris, Fred C., Jr.; Dascalu, Sergiu M. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2015
Climate change literacy plays a key role in promoting sound political decisions and promoting sustainable consumption patterns. Based on evidence suggesting that student understanding and interest in climate change is best accomplished through studying local effects, we developed a simulation/game exploring the impact of climate change on the…

Kennedy-Clark, Shannon; Thompson, Kate – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the value of using discourse analysis to understand users' interactions in a scenario-based virtual environment. This study investigated six dyads' synchronous discourses while they worked side-by-side to plan and implement goal-related decisions in a virtual inquiry. The Collaborative Process Analysis…

O'Donnell, Hugh – Online Submission, 2015
Literacy remains an area of concern in early secondary education in Scotland (ages 12-14), with recent research suggesting a continued decline in attainment levels. As literacy underpins learning, interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to teaching literacy are now being emphasized through the new Curriculum for Excellence that aims to…

Earl, Jason Scott – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The focal goal of this research was to extend the empirical effort on business simulations as a form of experiential learning by providing the first empirical analysis of business acumen and knowledge application skills. Disruptions in technology are providing more opportunities to improve the simulation gaming learning experience and a number of…
