Kshitij Sharma; Serena Lee-Cultura; Sofia Papavlasopoulou; Michail Giannakos – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Effort measurement is essential for adaptation to interactive learning technologies. Most contemporary technologies measure effort through the log data (reaction time and correctness). Some adaptive technologies use facial expressions and attention to adapt. Objectives: We present a novel, complementary, and multimodal definition of…

John L. Nietfeld; Kristin F. Hoffmann – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Goal setting has been established in the literature as a critical component of self-regulated learning and for effective problem-solving. Yet, surprisingly little attention has been focused on goal-directed behaviour in digital game-based learning environments (GBLEs) despite their expanding use in educational contexts. Objectives: The…

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…

Eniko Orsolya Bereczki; Zsofia K. Takacs; J. Elizabeth Richey; Huy A. Nguyen; Michael Mogessie; Bruce M. McLaren – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Mindfulness practices enhance executive function skills and academic achievement, spurring interest in integrating mindfulness interventions into education. Embedding mindfulness practice into a digital math game may provide a low-cost, scalable way to induce mindfulness and boost game-based learning, yet this approach remains…

Tsai, Yu-Ling; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
This meta-analysis investigates the relative effectiveness of game-based science learning against other instructional methods (Gameplay design) as well as against science game variants enriched with mechanisms (Game-mechanism design). An overall medium effect size for Gameplay design (k = 14, N[subscript es] = 14, g[subscript RE] = 0.646, p =…

Cheng, M.-T.; She, H.-C.; Annetta, L. A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
Many studies have shown the positive impact of serious educational games (SEGs) on learning outcomes. However, there still exists insufficient research that delves into the impact of immersive experience in the process of gaming on SEG-based science learning. The dual purpose of this study was to further explore this impact. One purpose was to…
