Student engagement in a science classroom is challenging and most students perceive science courses as difficult. Gamification is an emerging strategy used by educators across various disciplines to increase student engagement and promote active learning. One known gamification technique is team Jeopardy, however, there is a gap in knowledge about…

Background: The impact of digital gamified language learning on language achievement has been corroborated in the literature; however, its impact on language achievement, especially in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context needs further investigation. In addition, the related literature has not sufficiently confirmed the impact of…

A growing body of research suggests that comprehension of expository texts presented digitally is a challenging endeavor, particularly for children. Many reading interventions, both from traditional classroom settings and computer-based contexts, have focused on much needed strategy instruction but have simultaneously neglected a focus on…

Gamification, including game-based learning (GBL), is a widely recognized pedagogical approach used for imparting and reinforcing cybersecurity knowledge and skills to learners. One innovative form of GBL gaining popularity across various educational levels, from secondary schools to professional development, is escape room-style education. This…

Given the rapid advancement of modern information and communication technologies, as well as the increasing demand for distance and hybrid learning models, it is imperative that prospective teachers attain a high level of digital competence.

The impact of evolving technologies, including in education, has prompted researchers to enhance the educational process through flow experience in technology-enhanced learning environments in Informatics in Education. This study investigates the effects of a gamified educational environment with competition and collaboration elements on students'…

When designing learning scenarios for first-semester university students, instructional developers should not only impart knowledge and skills but also support transition to university, for example by providing opportunities to build a sense of belonging. In our case study, we illustrate how we addressed these goals by creating a motivating…

The integration of classical and modern teaching strategies enables the creation of an effective educational environment that meets the needs of various types of learners. The aim of this study is to explore the potential for integrating mobile applications into vocal education by analyzing their accessibility and effectiveness as learning tools,…

Virtual escape rooms (ERs) require learners to solve puzzles and answer riddles while trying to "escape" a digital room. Although the educational merit of such gamified learning activities continues to be realized, guides on the development of ERs are lacking, as well as student perceptions on how, if, and where they should be integrated…

Purpose: This article analyzes the practices university faculty members developed after participating in a training program on inclusive emerging technologies. The faculty members employed active methodologies such as gamification and flipped-learning using technological resources. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative methodology was used to…
