The present study assessed the effectiveness of the ECRIMO educational application designed to build first-grade level spelling skills. We tested whether using the app to teach spelling would be as effective as providing the same training using traditional paper exercises. The effect of integrating gamification into mobile learning apps, which has…

This study examined the effect of gamification on visual programming and computational thinking skills among primary school students, aiming to investigate how gamified learning environments enhance cognitive skill development and conceptual integration compared to traditional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving…

This meta-analysis looks at the results of five studies on the use of technology for the treatment of dyscalculia in primary school age children. Results show significant positive improvement using specialized software treatment technologies for students in Grades 1-5 in various countries using four different software games. However, little is…

This article provides empirical data from a study on the effects of the implementation of a gaming system as an experiment and also provides recommendations on how such a system could be implemented in the general Jamaican school system. While there are numerous studies that investigate the impact of gamification in higher education and high…

Background/purpose: In terms of computational thinking core facets, algorithmic thinking is a key competency applicable not only in Computer Science but also in aspects of daily life. Considering the global phenomenon of gender stereotypes with regards to the academic and professional orientation in STEM fields, we focused on investigating the…

Getting individuals to invest in reason is often an uphill battle for Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CPI) practitioners, especially when the CPI experience does not straightforwardly model decision-making outside the classroom. Intermittently using roleplaying games (RPG's) to conduct CPI's may help in this regard, as it provides individuals…

Quasi-experimental research was conducted to examine the effect of game-based student response systems (GBSRS) on student achievement and self-efficacy in languages other than English (LOTE). The research employed a pretest-posttest, non-equivalent control group design in which 170 third and fourth-grade students participated in a 12-session…
