Recent studies have shown that teachers 'perception and attitudes about digital tools play a crucial role in how they integrate and use technology in the classroom. The purpose of the present study is to investigate physics teachers' perception and willingness towards educational video games (EVGs). Based on the literature review, a questionnaire…

Background/purpose: This research aims to identify the relationship between digital intelligence and video game addiction among Middle school students, to identify gender differences in digital intelligence, and to reveal the digital intelligence skills that contribute most to predicting video game addiction. Materials/methods: The sample…

This research was carried out to determine the opinions of science teacher candidates about digital game addiction. For this reason, the phenomenology method which one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The sample of this study consists of 5 science teacher candidates studying at different universities in the 2022-2023 academic year.…

Serious games combine education and entertainment to create engaging and effective learning experiences, potentially contributing to science literacy and environmental awareness. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a particular serious game, H2OeduK, in educating children aged 10 to 11 years on the urban water cycle.…

This study explores primary school educators' perceptions of using indigenous-themed digital games in Zimbabwean primary schools, focusing on their views regarding cultural inclusion, pedagogical relevance, and digital adoption. The study employed a concurrent mixed-methods approach involving 120 survey respondents, 40 interviewees, 20 focus group…

This study aims to examine the digital game addiction levels of adolescent mainstreaming students in terms of various variables. 157 adolescent mainstreaming students between the ages of 12-18 who attend secondary school, Anatolian High School, Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, and Vocational Education Center in Düzce province…

Despite considerable advances in knowledge tracing algorithms, educational technologies that use this technology typically continue to use older algorithms, such as Bayesian Knowledge Tracing. One key reason for this is that contemporary knowledge tracing algorithms primarily infer next-problem correctness in the learning system, but do not…

Children's opportunities for outdoor play have declined (Nash, D. 2018. "The Construction of the Decline of Children's Outdoor Play as a Social Problem in the UK." Canterbury: Canterbury Christ Church University) whilst opportunities for online play are increasing (Berrett, B., J. Murphy, and J. Sullivan. 2012. "Administrator…

Object-based learning includes the active incorporation of historic artifacts into educational environments, which may yield meaningful learning experiences. However, gaining access to artifacts and coordinating object-based curricula with museum staff pose immense challenges to educators. Furthermore, digital representations of historic artifacts…

Digital games can be used as educational tools for tackling structural inequalities and promoting social justice. Designing games with these purposes is a complex task that requires a myriad of combined expertise, including games' mechanics, software development, educational game design, pedagogy and knowledge of the educational topic (which can…

This interesting book discusses why, as an activity, topic and metaphor, play and game have become an integral part of modern life. Empirically exemplary and theoretically grounded, this book discusses the developments and expansions in gaming, from easily accessible casual games to the galaxy-spanning gaming worlds of Massively Multiplayer Online…

This study employed a pretest-posttest control group experimental design to investigate the impact of self-explanation prompts on content learning in the game-based context. Additionally, it explored the effectiveness of different delivery timings for the prompts--either during or after gameplay--in enhancing students' cognitive engagement in…

This investigation narrates how digital game playing while integrating augmented reality can help enhance higher-order thinking. Digital game playing, when referring to games played on computers, game consoles, or handhelds, can be considered a powerful learning tool in education. The central problem of this investigation lies in the fact that…

In the evolving landscape of gaming, a need for reliable methods to differentiate expertise levels among players has emerged. This study defines experts by their exceptional skills, domain-specific knowledge, and successful application of these attributes in complex situations. Unlike conventional methods that rely on self-reported experience for…

One important aspect of cognitive control is the ability to stop a response in progress and motivational aspects, such as self-relevance, which may be able to influence this ability. We test the influence of self-relevance on stopping specifically if increased self-relevance enhances reactive response inhibition. We measured stopping capabilities…
