In recent years, Game-Based Learning (GBL) has been widely adopted in various educational settings. This paper aims to review empirical studies that adopt GBL in the field of AI education and explore its future research perspectives. After a systematic keyword search in the online database and a snowballing approach, a total of 125 empirical…

Our theoretical framework is based on Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development focusing on adults' involvement in children's play and we argue that teachers' involvement is crucial in supporting children's play skills. Particularly, this study examines early childhood teachers' (ECTs) sociodramatic and imaginative play skills and their development…

Studies have shown tabletop role playing games (TRPGs) to be effective motivational learning tools that can be utilized in various subject matter. However, limited research has analyzed the elements within TRPGsthat enable them to provide motivation to the users. As such, this study conducted an in-depth examination of the elements of TRPGs…

We present a role play business simulation that fosters experiential learning of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). A web portal simulates stakeholder-to-student interactions during the analysis phase. The simulation generalizes to other business domains by overcoming learning constraints such as non-collocated and asynchronous students,…

Project-based learning (PBL) is well known for engaging students enthusiastically and for supporting strong experiential learning. Less well known is that rigorous PBL also excels at fostering rich civic engagement--of key importance now, at a time of heightened concern about civics education.
