Gamification is a very useful technique, that has been fully increasing in the last years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our innovation teaching group sent to our students several games, that were used by them for self-studying. Considering that many numerical problems can be proposed in Biochemistry, rather than numerical games (sudoku, adding…

Previous research has established that children's experiences of language during in-person interactions (e.g. individual and cumulative experiences of structural choices) implicitly shape language learning. We investigated whether children also implicitly learn structural choices during online interactions, and whether this is affected by the…

This study investigated the effect of the motor game 'Exchequer Motor Game' (EMG) on first-grade children's Level of Geometric Thinking (LGT) and their post-learning mood tracking (PLMT). Thirty children (age 6.1 ± 0.7 years; physical education experience: 0.6 ± 0.4 years), classified at the "Visualization" stage of van Hiele's geometric…

To address this gap, this study analyzes…

In this article, we investigate the effects of the app "Fingu" on a child's understanding of the part-whole concept. Using the Artifact Centric Activity Theory framework, we initially analyse the internalisation and externalisation processes that appear to occur during one child's use of the app. Based on the learning from this process,…
