The Ultimatum Game is a two-person, multiple-strategy game widely used in the experimental social sciences to demonstrate the human propensity for costly punishment in response to inequitable treatment. The game serves to provide quantitative evidence for a diversity of fairness norms across cultures. The play of the game and its interpretation…

Incorporating immersive technologies in education has become increasingly popular due to their ability to facilitate active learning and engage students in the acquisition of concepts and skills. One form of immersive technology includes educational games that incorporate movement interaction, allowing children to engage with in-game elements by…

Active recall, the act of recalling knowledge from memory, and games-based learning, the use of games and game elements for learning, are well-established as effective strategies for learning gross anatomy. An activity that applies both principles is Catch-Phrase, a fast-paced word guessing game. In Anatomy Catch-Phrase, players must get their…

This study aims to examine the effect of the "Number and Operation Training Program" on early mathematics ability and mother-child relationship at home. In an experimental design, pre-test, post-test, permanence test were used with control groups. A total of 21 children and their mothers participated in the research; consisting of 13…

Game-based learning offers a compelling prospect for innovative teaching and student engagement, but popular examples often involve either complex, time-consuming systems that invite high-order thinking, or simpler, quick versions that reward memorization. Far less common are games that fit low-stakes activities (such as concept review) but…

For years, hybridization in chemistry has been taught using static pictures and model kits. We decided to reimagine how students learn hybridization through the development of a mobile learning tool. The tool contains gamification features, such as achievements and progressive leveling that keep students engaged, while the mobile platform allows…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to help project management (PM) game designers and educators in simulating complexity in PM games and in assessing the effect of simulated project complexity levels on students' learning experience. To achieve this aim, the authors attempt to design and evaluate two computer-based project crashing games (PCGs)…

Background: Performance goal orientations are influential motivational factors for predicting learning performance. However, a lack of attention has been paid to investigating the effects of performance goal orientations on learning performance and in-game performance in the context of digital game-based learning. Objectives: This study…

Rational number knowledge is a crucial feature of primary school mathematics that predicts students' later mathematics achievement. Many students struggle with the transition from natural number to rational number reasoning, so novel pedagogical approaches to support the development of rational number knowledge are valuable to mathematics…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to design and incorporate gamebased pedagogy grounded in self-determination theory (SDT) for a higher education course in a business school program. Design/methodology/approach: The study evaluates the learning outcomes of students from higher education in gamified and non-gamified contexts. The study was…

This research aims to develop a model of floor gymnastics learning and rhythmic activities with the TPSR approach. The subjects of this study were students of grades 1, 2, 3 of State Elementary School 01 Sampangan Gajah Mungkur District of Semarang City and SDN Srondol Kulon 02, with a total of 76 students. The development research design has used…

Virtual reality (VR) for Language learning has been shown effective in improving students' communication skills. However very few studies reveal the communication strategies students used in communicating in a VR environment, especially in learning Chinese as a foreign or second language (CFL/CSL). In this pilot study, a prototype Virtual…

The number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related jobs is increasing all around the world and especially in Europe. However, teachers face many difficulties in making STEM related classes more attractive and motivating the students to learn. This paper presents two case studies involving 116 students from two European…

There is a good body of literature about digital-game-based language learning (DGBL), but research has mainly focused on students as game players rather than as future educators. This paper reports on a research conducted among 154 teacher candidates at a higher-education institution in Spain regarding the adoption of digital games in education.…

Soft skills (active listening, attention to detail, avoiding technology-based distractions, etc.) are a growing need in today's workforce. Yet, finding the time, methods, and space within marketing classes can be a challenge. Faced with the task of teaching students not only how to function in their daily roles once in the workforce, the authors…
