Nowadays, gamification has gained widespread acceptance in education. However, limited studies have focused on whether and how game-based learning impacts university students' creativity. This study aims to explore the relationship between university students' engagement in game-based learning and their creativity. By drawing upon flow theory…

Creativity mindset (CM), grit, and self-determination have been defined as critical motivational variables affecting learners' self-efficacy. Therefore, this study pioneers the examination of the relationship between these motivational variables and creativity self-efficacy (CSE) during game-based learning. A Creativity Mindset Inventory (CMI) and…

This research aims to develop a combining game-based learning with design thinking using block-based programming to enhance computational thinking and creative games for primary students and will be referred to as game-based learning from now on. The purpose of this research is to 1) develop a model for game-based learning, 2) develop the system…

The study aimed to examine the impact of a gamified distance learning system on enhancing digital creativity in distance education. The research involved 36 graduate students from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University enrolled in the Public Administration Innovation course.

In the early years of school, pupils have a very positive approach towards any new topic. Very often, the first contact with mathematics in the Italian school risks giving a limited and somehow negative impression, generating long-lasting effects. In this paper, we report on a series of experiences carried out in a second-year class of a primary…

The paper presents an experiment with a squiggle game in a design class: a joint drawing activity. The squiggle game, which comes from psychoanalysis, has been adapted to a teaching-learning situation in order to observe how graphic design practices and skills develop through creativity. The hypothesis is that the game impacts the training of…

To date, few online game-based learning studies have focused on developing children's growth creativity mindset (growth CM). This study, therefore, aimed to develop a game-based learning system to help children develop their growth CM. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between growth CM, hope belief, and creativity self-efficacy after…

The relationship between two-dimensional elements and three-dimensional objects is an abstract process which generates difficulty for learning. This ability can be improved with exercises designed to improve spatial abilities. Many of those exercises aim at offering a single solution with the result that they are not the most suitable for…

The presence of digital technologies in classroom settings is relentlessly getting stronger and has shown to have powerful playful qualities. In recent years, digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been introduced in schools. In this paper we explore game-based design activities to unfold playful and creative actions and interactions among…

Learning in the twenty-first century is becoming more dependent on the use of digital tools and interactive media. Teachers play a crucial role in creating game-based learning procedures and enhancing learning and motivation. The aim of this article is to determine what kinds of expertise educators could require to effectively use game-based…

"Dungeons and Dragons" is classified as a table-top role-playing game (TTRPG) and it is not surprising that TTRPGs exist for every genre and period that can possibly be imagined. TTRPGs are, as the name suggests, played around a table and benefit from not relying on some of the potential barriers players may perceive when playing…

While the development of creativity, or creative thinking, in mathematics is considered important by many researchers, there are several difficulties in implementing creative tasks, especially before secondary school. Within the original context of a mathematical escape game, this paper reports two episodes exemplifying the difficulties met by…

There has been a decrease in the motivation levels of primary school students towards learning their native language. In Singapore, the native language is also known as the Mother Tongue Language (MTL). There is also a need for more research on Experiential Learning in primary schools worldwide and MTL classrooms in Singapore. Using the basic…
