Langenhagen, Julian – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Although badges are among the most-used game elements in gamified education, studies about their optimal features to motivate learning are scarce. How should a badge be designed to represent an incentive for a specific goal like optimal exam preparation? This study examines usage data of a higher education learning app to determine whether the…

Liu, Yi Chun; Wang, Wei-Tsong; Lee, Tzu-Lien – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Critical factors that influence the value of digital game-based learning (DGBL) for enhancing learning effectiveness remain debatable. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), people can be autonomously motivated to adopt DGBL to enhance learning effectiveness if their basic psychological needs are satisfied. Additionally, studies that…

College Students' Perceptions of Pleasure in Learning -- Designing Gameful Gamification in Education
A, Gulinna; Lee, Youngjin – International Journal on E-Learning, 2020
Gamification, the use of game design elements in non-gaming context, has been introduced to education as a novel teaching and learning approach to engage learners. Current literature has focused on finding ways to afford the playfulness and gamefulness of gamification. This paper has studied college students' perceptions of pleasure in learning to…

Pham, Linh Le Nhat; Nguyen, Hoang Tan; Le, Van Thi Kieu – Teaching English with Technology, 2021
M-learning is usually thought of as based on videos, digital materials, and high technology. Nonetheless, it is not a complete perspective of this new educational trend. Mobile devices with many functions can be an effective tool to support learning. Furthermore, learners nowadays, who were born in the 4.0 movement, are more familiar with mobile…

Davis, K.; Sridharan, H.; Koepke, L.; Singh, S.; Boiko, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
The current study investigated college students' experiences of a gamified informatics course. We surveyed 139 students aged 18-31 years (M = 20 years, SD = 1.5) enrolled in an undergraduate informatics course focused on social networking technologies. Surveys were conducted at 3 time points during the course (beginning, middle, and end). Overall,…

Yürük, Nurcihan – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2020
Pronunciation is one of the main problems in language teaching and learning and it gets little attention. Most of students underestimate the importance of pronunciation considering that pronunciation is less important than other aspects of language. Many researchers investigated the weakness of pronunciation among students in all stages. However,…
