Janina Heb; Panagiotis Karageorgos; Bettina Müller; Anna Riedmann; Philipp Schaper; Birgit Lugrin; Tobias Richter – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Children with low reading skills are less frequently engaged in reading activities and therefore the likelihood of improving their reading skills decreases. Digital game-based interventions have emerged as a promising tool for promoting reading development in children, particularly those with reading difficulties. As syllable-based…

Kolek, Lukáš; Šisler, Vít; Martinková, Patrícia; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
This study investigates a video game's effects on implicit and explicit attitudes towards depicted historical events in the short- and long-term on a sample of 148 young adults. We used, as an intervention tool, a serious game "Czechoslovakia 38-89: Borderlands" that deals with the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans from the former…

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…

Tsai, Chun-Yen; Lin, Huann-shyang; Liu, Shu-Chiu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of a pedagogical model of digital games on students' scientific competencies that are advocated by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). As a single game-based learning strategy may not be enough to enhance such competencies, the online game in the current study incorporated…

Labus, A.; Despotovic-Zrakic, M.; Radenkovic, B.; Bogdanovic, Z.; Radenkovic, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
This paper reports on the investigation of the possibilities of enhancing the formal e-learning process by harnessing the potential of informal game-based learning on social networks. The goal of the research is to improve the outcomes of the formal learning process through the design and implementation of an educational game on a social network…

Hooshyar, Danial; Yousefi, M.; Wang, M.; Lim, H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Although game-based learning has been increasingly promoted in education, there is a need to adapt game content to individual needs for personalized learning. Procedural content generation (PCG) offers a solution for difficulty in developing game contents automatically by algorithmic means as it can generate individually customizable game contents…

van de Ven, M.; de Leeuw, L.; van Weerdenburg, M.; Steenbeek-Planting, E. G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This study examined the effects of an intervention with a multicomponent reading game on the development of reading skills in 60 Dutch primary school children with special educational needs. The game contains evidence-based reading exercises and is based on principles of applied gaming. Using a multiple baseline approach, we tested children's…

Hsiao, H-S.; Chang, C-S.; Lin, C-Y.; Hu, P-M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2014
In this study, we developed a digital game-based learning (DGBL) system, called the ToES, to foster students' creativity. Fifty-one fifth-grade students from two classes in a public school in Taipei, Taiwan, were recruited and consented to participate. Both classes consisted of students with mixed abilities studying a foundation unit entitled…

Klopfer, E.; Sheldon, J.; Perry, J.; Chen, V. H. -H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
This paper provides a rationale for a class of mobile, casual, and educational games, which we call UbiqGames. The study is motivated by the desire to understand how students use educational games in light of additional distractions on their devices, and how game design can make those games appealing, educationally useful, and practical. In…

Huizenga, J.; Admiraal, W.; Akkerman, S.; Dam, G. ten – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
Using mobile games in education combines situated and active learning with fun in a potentially excellent manner. The effects of a mobile city game called Frequency 1550, which was developed by The Waag Society to help pupils in their first year of secondary education playfully acquire historical knowledge of medieval Amsterdam, were investigated…
