Minkai Wang; Di Zhang; Jingdong Zhu; Hanjie Gu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Scientific knowledge is often abstract and challenging, making it difficult for students to apply these concepts effectively. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) offers an engaging and immersive approach, but the fixed resources and predetermined learning paths in most games limit its ability to adapt to individual learners' needs. Large language…

Andrea Bertoni; Andrea Maffia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
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…

Radulovic, Branka – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
Modern approaches in Physics classes which involve the game-based student response system (GSRS) have been in use for a while, but their educational efficiency and students' involvement have not been examined. Therefore, this research's main aim was to determine the educational efficiency and students' involvement of GSRS and to assess their…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…

Nurnberger-Haag, Julie; Wernet, Jamie L.; Benjamin, Judy I. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2023
Games are often used to foster student engagement and motivation to learn content, such as mathematics. Although digital games dominate game-based learning research, the table games commonly used in classrooms warrant investigation. Especially for mathematics learning, prior research has not taken into account content-specific frameworks. Integer…

Horn, Margaux A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…

Shu, Liuyi; Liu, Min – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2019
Game-based learning is getting popular in both K-12 schools and colleges. Research is needed to understand how engagement can influence learning and what specific factors of game-based learning that affect learners. In this study, we reviewed a total of 20 empirical studies from refereed journals that examined student engagement in game-based…

Rafferty, Anna N., Ed.; Whitehill, Jacob, Ed.; Romero, Cristobal, Ed.; Cavalli-Sforza, Violetta, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
The 13th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2020) was originally arranged to take place in Ifrane, Morocco. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) epidemic, EDM 2020, as well as most other academic conferences in 2020, had to be changed to a purely online format. To facilitate efficient transmission of…
