Pellas, Nikolaos – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Owing to the exponential growth of three-dimensional (3D) environments amongst researchers and educators to create simulation games (SGs) in primary education, there is a growing interest to examine their potential support in computer science courses instead of visual programming environments. Objectives: This study explores the…

Seah, Erik Tiong Wee; Kaufman, David; Sauvé, Louise; Zhang, Fan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This mixed-methods study examined the social gameplay and learning experience of 50 adults aged 60 years or more during 4 weeks of playing a multiplayer, educational digital Bingo game with embedded learning content about nutrition and health. The first phase consisted of 4 weeks of gameplay with quantitative data collection using pretests and…

Rafferty, Anna N.; LaMar, Michelle M.; Griffiths, Thomas L. – Cognitive Science, 2015
Watching another person take actions to complete a goal and making inferences about that person's knowledge is a relatively natural task for people. This ability can be especially important in educational settings, where the inferences can be used for assessment, diagnosing misconceptions, and providing informative feedback. In this paper, we…

Hwang, Mark I. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2018
Much interest exists in using Enterprise Resource Planning simulation (ERPsim) games to help students learn complex concepts involved in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. However, little research has explored factors that contribute to team performance during an ERPsim game. The current study investigated teamwork as a contributor to…

Adam Barger – William & Mary Educational Review, 2015
This article explored two complimentary frameworks for utilizing web-based simulation games in social studies classrooms and applied them in a media analysis of a popular web-based civics simulation. McCall's (2014) practical framework and Raphael, Bachen, Lynn, Mckee, and Baldwin-Philippi's (2010) approach provided a thorough construct for…

Tsai, Fu-Hsing – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This study developed a computer-simulated science inquiry environment, called the Science Detective Squad, to engage students in investigating an electricity problem that may happen in daily life. The environment combined the simulation of scientific instruments and a virtual environment, including gamified elements, such as points and a story for…

Stansbury, Jessica A. – Teaching of Psychology, 2017
An interactive learning module was developed and implemented in a social psychology course to teach concepts of the "self" via self-exploration and game play using "The SIMS[superscript 3]." Students volunteered to play the computer video game throughout a 5-week summer session as a supplement to reading the chapter in the…

Tao, Yu-Hui; Yeh, C. Rosa; Hung, Kung Chin – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
Several theoretical models have been constructed to determine the effects of buisness simulation games (BSGs) on learning performance. Although these models agree on the concept of learning-cycle effect, no empirical evidence supports the claim that the use of learning cycle activities with BSGs produces an effect on incremental gains in knowledge…

Cuccurullo, Stefania; Francese, Rita; Passero, Ignazio; Tortora, Genoveffa – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2013
The environmental priority requires structural interventions that will be effective in the long period only if they are accompanied by modifications of behaviors, orientations and beliefs, specially investing in the new generations. This paper presents a 3D Virtual World serious game named Pappi World, designed according to pedagogical theories…

Kwon, Seolim; Lara, Miguel; Enfield, Jake; Frick, Theodore – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2013
Conducting an iterative usability testing, a set of prompts used as a form of instructional support was developed in order to facilitate the comprehension of the diffusion of innovations theory (Rogers, 2003) in a simulation game called the Diffusion Simulation Game (DSG) (Molenda & Rice, 1979). The six subjects who participated in the study…

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…
