Kirsi Syynimaa; Kirsi Lainema; Timo Lainema – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2024
The application of digital game-based learning (GBL) methods has lately received more attention in higher education (HE). An extensive body of previous investigations has recognised the potential of instructional games to advance the learning of appropriate work life skills. However, there seems to be a lack of understanding in the current…

Morin, Jennifer; Tamberelli, Frank; Buhagiar, Tarek – Journal of Education for Business, 2020
Many educators utilize simulations to create active learning environments suitable for learning outcome achievement and soft skill development, which are critical for student success in the workforce. However, many educators focus primarily on affective benefits of simulations, such as engagement and motivation, rather than cognitive impacts, such…

Anupam, Aditya; Gupta, Ridhima; Naeemi, Azad; JafariNaimi, Nassim – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Quantum mechanics (QMs) is a foundational subject in many science and engineering fields. It is difficult to teach, however, as it requires a fundamental revision of the assumptions and laws of classical physics and probability. Furthermore, introductory QM courses and texts predominantly focus on the mathematical formulations of the subject and…

Giraud-Carrier, François C.; Schmidt, Glen M. – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2015
When deciding whether to get on the freeway during rush hour, did you ever stop to consider that if you did so, you would slow everybody ELSE down? When we ask our students that question, they typically laugh--their only consideration is how long their own trip will take. When a decision maker does not account for all the costs or benefits…

Williams, Dina – Industry and Higher Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to bridge a gap in our understanding of the role business simulation games can play in the development of entrepreneurial capabilities in undergraduate students. While entrepreneurship education has come a long way from being a branch of business and management studies, to its current status as a core discipline in…

Swier, Robert – JALT CALL Journal, 2014
Recent studies of learner interaction in virtual worlds have tended to select basic tasks involving open-ended communication. There is evidence that such tasks are supportive of language acquisition, however it may also be beneficial to consider more complex tasks. Research in task-based learning has identified features such as non-linguistic…

Cheong, Christopher; Filippou, Justin; Cheong, France – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2014
Games offer people engaging and motivating experiences. The process of recreating this type of experience in systems that are not typically considered games is called "gamification." Improving engagement and motivation in a learning environment is desired by many educators as traditional approaches do not seem to be as engaging as they…

Colley, Ann; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1995
Investigates stereotypes of male and female undergraduates at Leicester University who had experience with computer programming, word processing, or computer games. The application of 16 personality attributes from a previous study is discussed, and gender differences in the perception of the 3 computer uses are considered. (LRW)
