Leah F. Rosenbaum – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Research on the educational value of play tends to focus on active players, especially when evaluating novel interaction technologies. However, a long history of scholarship underscores observing communal practice as a primary means of enculturation and learning. This paper demonstrates learning opportunities available within a range of…

Seyedahmad Rahimi; Valerie J. Shute – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Research fields related to learning (e.g., educational technology and learning sciences) have historically focused on what questions using traditional methods (e.g., comparing different learning tools and methods). New methodologies that are grounded in learning, engagement, and motivational theories are needed to additionally address the how…

Imam Fitri Rahmadi; Zsolt Lavicza; Selay Arkün Kocadere; Tony Houghton; Jonathan Michael Spector – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Although user-generated microgames, defined as very simple games made by non-professionals on open platforms, are popular and appear to have considerable advantages in facilitating learning, further exploration is needed to establish their potential in instructional practices. The present study investigates the design, participation and experience…

Sun, Zhong; Lin, Chin-Hsi; Lv, Kaiyue; Song, Jie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Mobile serious games are increasingly utilized as educational tools in elementary schools, and a considerable body of research has focused on evaluating such games' educational effectiveness. However, such work has generally ignored learning processes, and especially how knowledge is constructed. Given the important role of knowledge construction…

Giannakas, Filippos; Kambourakis, Georgios; Papasalouros, Andreas; Gritzalis, Stefanos – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
With the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets, game-based learning (GBL) is undergoing a rapid shift to mobile platforms. This transformation is driven by mobility, wireless interfaces, and built-in sensors that these smart devices offer in order to enable blended and context-sensitive mobile learning (m-Learning) activities. Thus,…

Xu, Zhihong; Chen, Zhuo; Eutsler, Lauren; Geng, Zihan; Kogut, Ashlynn – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Learning with games has been increasing in practice, but studies of the features and learning outcomes involving digital games to develop language learning are scarce. This scoping review investigates the current practices of digital game-based language learning to support English language learning, in terms of participants' characteristics,…

Kuba, Renata; Rahimi, Seyedahmad; Smith, Ginny; Shute, Valerie; Dai, Chih-Pu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Over three years, our research team has designed various learning supports for promoting content knowledge and solving game levels. In this case study, we examined the optimal design and the evaluation of learning support videos for a physics educational game. Often studies focus on investigating the effects of research-based principles without a…

Hulse, Taylyn; Daigle, Maria; Manzo, Daniel; Braith, Lindsay; Harrison, Avery; Ottmar, Erin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
This paper examines whether using "From Here to There!" (FH2T:E), a dynamic game-based mathematics learning technology relates to improved early algebraic understanding. We use student log files within FH2T to explore the possible benefits of student behaviors and gamification on learning gains. Using in app measures of student…

Nebel, Steve; Schneider, Sascha; Beege, Maik; Kolda, Franziska; Mackiewicz, Valerie; Rey, Günter Daniel – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
Complex, multimedia software such as educational videogames offer a wide range of elements to modify learner behavior. The adjustment of such software might support learning, especially in complex settings like collaborative or cooperative scenarios. Coming from a theoretical background of educational psychology, our experiment seeks to implement…

Mavridis, Apostolos; Katmada, Aikaterini; Tsiatsos, Thrasyvoulos – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This study examined the effects of using an online flexible educational game on students' attitude towards mathematics as compared to the traditional method of solving mathematical problems. Moreover, the study assessed the learning effectiveness of the game and investigated potential gender differences in the game's effectiveness on changing…

Chu, Hui-Chun; Chang, Shao-Chen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Although educational computer games have been recognized as being a promising approach, previous studies have indicated that, without supportive models, students might only show temporary interest during the game-based learning process, and their learning performance is often not as good as expected. Therefore, in this paper, a two-tier test…

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,…

Wouters, Pieter; van der Spek, Erik D.; van Oostendorp, Herre – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
The effectiveness of serious games is often measured with verbal assessment. As an alternative we propose Pathfinder structural assessment (defined as measuring the learners' knowledge organization and compare this with a referent structure) which comprises three steps: knowledge elicitation, knowledge representation and knowledge evaluation. We…

Shelton, Brett E.; Scoresby, Jon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
We discuss the design, creation and implementation of an instructional game for use in a high school poetry class following a commitment to an educational game design principle of "alignment". We studied groups of instructional designers and an interactive fiction computer game they built. The game was implemented in a 9th grade English classroom…

Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Sung, Han-Yu; Hung, Chun-Ming; Huang, Iwen; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
In recent years, many researchers have been engaged in the development of educational computer games; however, previous studies have indicated that, without supportive models that take individual students' learning needs or difficulties into consideration, students might only show temporary interest during the learning process, and their learning…
