Lilla Bónus; Erzsébet Antal; Erzsébet Korom – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
This research focuses on "BioScientist," a digital game-based, inquiry-based learning program embedded in the biology curriculum that develops inquiry skills in 8th-grade students. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a combination of elements of digital game-based learning (DGBL) with inquiry-based learning (IBL) through…

Traver, V. Javier; Leiva, Luis A.; Marti´-Centelles, Vicente; Rubio-Magnieto, Jenifer – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The periodic table allows students to easily understand the chemical elements and predict the behavior of theoretical yet undiscovered new elements. Many memorization techniques have been used for learning the periodic table, yet serious games (i.e., designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment) have been underexplored to…

Nkadimeng, Mahlatse; Ankiewicz, Piet – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
Video games are a medium most students are familiar with; thus, they can be used as educational tools to meet the needs of twenty-first-century students. Given the popularity of video games with teenagers, they can be incorporated as educational tools in the science classroom. However, the affordances of using Minecraft Education (Minecraft…

Chris Vicari; Barry Joseph; Brittany Klimowicz; Hannah Jaris; Shane Asseltine; Joel Levin – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2019
We designed an activity-based science curriculum that used Minecraft to support microbiology learning for students enrolled in the Lang Science Program at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City. Minecraft offered an option to consolidate complex science content into digestible activities for modeling concepts and…

Ristanto, Rizhal Hendi; Kristiani, Endah; Lisanti, Elsa – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
The learning process with modern technology is an absolute requirement in the digital age. As a science subject with unique characteristics, biology also requires a unique and technology-based learning process. Flipped Classroom--Digital Game-Based Learning (FC-DGBL) is a learning model that combines flipped classrooms and evaluations using…

Yildirim, Zehra; Baran, Medine – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The present study examined the influence of the method of physical activity games and digital games on 9th-grade students' achievements in a physics lesson. In the study, the semi-experimental design was used. The study group was made up of secondary school 9th-grade students from three different groups at a public school. The 1st experimental…

Cloude, Elizabeth B.; Carpenter, Dan; Dever, Daryn A.; Azevedo, Roger; Lester, James – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
Reflection is critical for adolescents' problem solving and learning in game-based learning environments (GBLEs). Yet challenges exist in the literature because most studies lack a theoretical perspective and clear operational definition to inform how and when reflection should be scaffolded during game-based learning. In this paper, we address…

Rahimi, Seyedahmad; Shute, Valerie; Kuba, Renata; Dai, Chih-Pu; Yang, Xiaotong; Smith, Ginny; Alonso Fernández, Cristina – Grantee Submission, 2021
We examined the use and effectiveness of an incentive system--one of the five elements of a theory-based motivational architecture in educational games that we proposed--in a computer-based physics game on students' learning and performance. The incentive system's purpose was to motivate students to access learning supports designed to facilitate…

Zeng, Hui; Zhou, Shao-Na; Hong, Gui-Rong; Li, Qiu-ye; Xu, Shao-Qiu – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
In recent years, game-based learning has attracted much attention in education; however, the effectiveness of game-based learning is still not solidly confirmed. In the present research, a game-based learning in the physics domain with guides provided direct and immediate feedback. The research was conducted among three different groups: the…

Ritson, Darren J. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
A traditional mode of Earth Science instruction in public day high schools for students with severe emotional behavioral disorders (EBD) is teacher-delivered lectures supported with paper-based laboratory exercises. These laboratory experiences are often presented through worksheet problems that students are asked to solve and return to the…
