Prior research has demonstrated the advantages of applying mobile game-based learning (MGBL) applications to supporting students' learning. However, studies that specifically examine the effects of game quality and different types of cognitive loads on learning effectiveness in MGBL contexts are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to address this…

Undergraduate-level laboratory experiments that integrate multidisciplinary chemistry concepts into a single activity are very appealing and thought-provoking for chemistry students. Here, we use the oscillating chemical reaction to introduce students to the analytical detection concept. The Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is employed as a simple…
