The article describes a mini-escape game with an environmental theme. The game was prepared using LearningApps and Google Slides. The mini-escape game comprised 7 subactivities: Crossword, Matching Pairs, Multiple-Choice Quiz, Cloze Test, Word Grid, Group Assignment, and Freetext Input. Through completion of these subactivities, students gradually…

Game-based learning has attracted great interest in science education as an effective way to increase student achievement. Most studies in this field have focused on digital or non-digital games. In the literature, some studies generally compare educational games with traditional teaching methods. More studies need to be conducted to compare the…

The range of abstract concepts encountered when learning chemistry and the inability of students to make connections between the macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic representations, used in chemistry teaching, are believed to be the main reasons for students' difficulty when learning chemistry. Prediction and determination of molecular…

In order to help students become scientifically literate citizens, science education should allow them to gain a more concrete understanding of the potential social and ethical impacts of scientific and technological change. Using Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as an imaginative tool, we designed simple hands-on activities and a digital narrative…

This research aims to explore the effectiveness of using computer-assisted games as a learning media to improve the quality of learning in Chemistry. The research was conducted in Indonesia on high school students in three separate classes or groups, in three separate schools that were randomly selected. There were three stages of data collection…

Using Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" as inspiration, this paper presents a Frankenstein-themed transmedia storytelling experience, which encompasses simple hands-on activities and an online narrative experience that allows students to model scientific work and engage in various science activities. The study aimed to test whether students…

Science Hunters is a UK outreach project that uses "Minecraft" (a computer game that allows children to build with a wide range of blocks) to engage children with science. Sessions are based on a range of science topics and include practical activities. A new topic, on bioluminescence, was designed in collaboration with staff and…

The present study explores how gender, ethnicity, and performance-based perceived competence impact students' learning, performance, and enjoyment from playing a digital STEM learning game. We had 199 9th-11th grade students play a 2D digital STEM learning game across six science classes. Based on the results of demographic surveys, matched…

The use of games in the chemistry learning process has a positive effect on students' behaviour, understanding, and interest in the discussed topics. A Chebo Collect (chemical bonding collects) game, which has met validity, practicality, and effectiveness criteria, was used as a medium to learn chemical bonds. This study aimed to assess the use of…

Digital game-based learning has received increased attention in education. As the key stakeholders in education, students, parents, and teachers may have different perceptions and attitudes towards game-based learning, which have a great impact on its adoption and dissemination. However, there is a lack of research examining how the perceptions of…

Many studies have used the potential of computer games to promote students' attitudes toward learning and increase their learning performance. A few studies have transformed scientific content into computer games or developed games with scientific content. In this paper, we employed students' common misconceptions of chemistry regarding the…

Innovative teaching strategies are designing a new and promising landscape in education. They fill lessons with creativity and imagination for either the students or teachers. This article addresses an attempt to make the approach to science easier in a nonscientific environment: primary education at university level. Gamification methodologies…

The development of 21st century competencies and skills in science teaching and learning is a key strategic imperative. Game-based learning platforms can be used to promote pedagogic innovation in various educational settings. Game-based applications such as Kahoot! have been increasingly used in education to facilitate meaningful enactment of…

This report provides information about an interactive computer-based game named Nomenclature Bets and its utilization in the form of a tournament as a didactic strategy to enhance the students' interest in their studies of nomenclature of organic compounds. The game allows high school and first-year undergraduate students to review, in pairs, the…

Purpose: This study reports on the effectiveness of Digital Games (DG) in learning biology among Form 4 students in Malaysia. Likewise it presents the general overview of the students' interest and their problems while using digital games in the learning process. Methodology: This study was conducted in a sub-urban secondary school in Kinta…
