Abstract (sommario):

Education is an important for students. Based on the recapitulation of the senior high school exam by Ministry of Education and Culture (KEMENDIKBUD), the average exam results for biology in 2017 below graduation level and the value is 45.01. This is because of limited class hours. For this reason, new media is needed to help students deepen the lesson, in this case the media is game. Educational game is one of the media that can be used to provide education to players through interactive media. In its making, this game uses the MDA framework, which is to analyze game design by breaking it into three components, mechanical, dynamic and aesthetic. In previous paper, MDA was used to create educational games in the form of semaphore movements on kinect. So this study made an immune system educational game design with the result that MDA can be applied into the education game Sel Imun as needed based on a post-test conducted on 30 respondents in the category of gamers, non-gamers, non-gamers, and non-gamers non-gamer students with the result that each MDA component can be applied to the Sel Imun game that is obtained from testing the suitability of the game's final result with the pre-designed questionnaire with 82.69% result or into the suitable category. Keywords–– Educational Games, Learning, National Exam, Immune System, MDA.

Abstract (sommario):

This article explores the writing of educational games, outlining the key elements of games and their methodologies for selecting educational content. The aim is to consider how to write educational games, utilizing a literature review methodology. The instructional approaches, traditional and alternative, form a polarized narrative, leading to reflection on the best way to adapt educational games to the curriculum. The traditional approach teaches the elaboration of instructional objectives before the design of educational games. The alternative approach proposes a storytelling-based model for selecting instructional content. Stories are created by emotional conflicts and interests, using these conflicts to create a narrative of antagonists favors engagement and meaningful learning. Appropriate technical tools employed in the creation of educational games should always be studied, aiming at the efficiency of game design and the effectiveness of learning. The main conclusion of this work is that the traditional and alternative approaches are not antagonistic, and both can be integrated in the writing of educational digital games.

Abstract (sommario):

To employ educational games in education as intended, it is required to show students’ cognitive structures for this concept. As a result, the purpose of this research was to reveal the cognitive structures of secondary school students regarding educational games. The research was a survey-based descriptive study. A total of 340 secondary school students were included for this research, which included fifth graders (n=80), sixth graders (n=95), seventh graders (n=69), and eighth graders (n=96). Simple random sampling was used to choose the participants. Data were gathered using the Word Association Test (WAT) and a drawing test. Six categories are used to organize the students' responses to the educational game's concept. ‘Individual gains,’ ‘lessons,’ ‘sports,’ ‘lesson tools/applications,’ ‘games,’ and ‘features of games’ were all of these. Four categories were used to categorize the drawings made by the students to represent the concept of educational games: ‘physical ability games,’ ‘intelligent and strategy games,’ ‘puzzle,’ and ‘mixed games.’ As a result of this research, it is possible to conclude that students’ cognitive structures for the concept of educational games include games played in classes, and educational games highlight the game aspect more. Besides that, there was little vocabulary diversity in their cognitive structures for the educational dimension. To enhance students' cognitive structures toward educational games, focus should be given to the instructional feature of educational games in research to be undertaken in the relevant field.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Game-based learning has been a rapidly expanding field in the 21th century, with research reports praising the motivational effects and learning outcomes of games. At the same time there have been doubts on the learning outcomes of even the most seriously designed learning games. The generation that today enrols for university programmes is in general a gaming generation, and game construction students are often so called hard core gamers. What are the game construction students’ experiences of educational games, and what are their perceived learning outcomes? This study is based on student essays on gaming habits and game-based learning outcomes, written by students taking a course on game-based learning. Essays from four course batches have been thematically analysed to answer the two research questions. Findings show that students have a rich experience of various kinds of games, but that they do not make any clear distinction between games developed for educational purposes, and other games. Students also perceive that there are cognitive, behavioural as well as affective learning outcomes from both standard entertainment games, and more serious learning games.

Abstract (sommario):

Improv games, which are used to train actors in how to do improvisational theatre, may be used to train other professions as well. The games assist in the development of simple skills and also give context for the skills’ use. The director chooses a series of these quick and simple games, tailoring the games to the already existing skills of the students. The skills built through the games may assist with further exercises, which may vary widely depending on the field in which they are taught. Instructions on how to create improv games, and hazards to avoid, are also included, should a teacher or director decide to create some games.

Abstract (sommario):

It is widely recognized that there is value in making use of modern Games Technology in Serious Games for educational purposes in the classroom and yet tools that enable teachers to construct such Educational Serious Games (ESGs) with minimal programming, artistic, or GT skills are not yet widely available. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of employing the FPS game genre for teaching purposes in the classroom. This is done by starting with a typical FPS game and constructing metaphorical correspondences with the desired ESG category. This mapping highlights the mentality level of FPS games and what it would take to modify them towards the level for real knowledge acquisition as in ESGs. By changing the game world rules to correspond with a classroom study area, we create a metaphorical educational FPS game. In this paper we describe two metaphorical educational FPS games and report on preliminary testing of their use in education. If testing of these metaphorical educational FPS games indicates that they would be beneficial in school classes then we intend to pursue the design of software tools and tutorials to enable teachers to develop their own metaphorical educational FPS games in two months or less.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of the study is to research, analyse and explain the media values and educational values of digital games. The work is based on the philosophy of education according to Vuk-Pavlović and the semiotics of the media according to Barthes’ theory. The aspect of media pedagogy towards digital media is discussed, especially the context of adventures and interactive drama. It answers the question of what the hidden meanings of digital games are. The author starts from the hypothesis that digital games users receive media messages on a semiotic level, and by deconstructing symbols, educational values and media meanings are revealed. The context of media literacy was observed from the aspect of understanding the symbols of digital games in accordance with media competencies. Since digital games reflect social reality, at least in the context of messages, attitudes and values, media competences represent the ability to understand and compare cultural and media literacy. In this sense, digital games have a specific aesthetic, ideological, pedagogical, and symbolic impact on users, which results from the critical thinking of society. Kellner’s theory of media culture will help us to understand the reasons why certain content, symbols and myths become popular and to raise awareness of the social environment of media culture from which digital games emerge. The research results of this study confirm that the observed digital games have educational values and that media meanings are deconstructed through semiotic analysis. This is especially true of the archetypal roles of parents and guardians.

Abstract (sommario):

Most game-designers likely stick to the assumption that background music is a design feature for fostering fun and game play. From a psychological point of view, these (intuitive) aspects act upon the intrinsic motivation and the flow experience of players. However, from a pure cognitive perspective on instructional design, background music could also be considered to be redundant information, which distracts from learning. The presented study investigated the influence of background music (present vs. not present) within an educational adventure game on motivational (intrinsic motivation, experienced flow) and cognitive variables (cognitive load, learning success). The results suggest a high motivational potential of background music. However, neither positive nor negative effects on learning were detected. Thus, background music can be considered as a motivating design element of educational games without negative side-effects on learning.

Abstract (sommario):

One of the trump cards of digital educational games is their enormous intrinsic motivational potential. Although learning game design is often understood on a one-fits-all level, the actual motivational strength of an educational game strongly depends on the individual learners, their very specific goals, preferences, abilities, strength and weakness, personality, and experiences with gaming. Considering motivation being a fragile and constantly changing state, it is important to continuously assess learning and gaming processes and the oscillations of motivation and immersion within a game. With this premise in mind, the authors developed a psycho-pedagogical approach to a non-invasive embedded assessment of motivational states and learning progress, feeding into a dynamic, ontology-driven learner (and gamer) model. To evaluate the approach, the demonstrator games were subject to intensive quantitative and qualitative experimental research. Results show that a meaningful personalization and an individual support are key factors of the success of learning games.

Abstract (sommario):

Educational games have been employed among Omani schools but those used by local Omani schools were imported and were mostly designed based on western contexts. For Omani children, these games may be culturally inappropriate and difficult to comprehend and follow, impeding children’s learning. Three questionnaires and one observational checklist were used to gather data from 40 respondents (observers). SPSS was used in data analysis. Through experiments, the behavior of Omani students towards the use of imported educational games was examined. Five main factors, namely, efficiency, learnability, memorability, errors, and satisfaction, of educational games for a target user were measured using Hybrid User Evaluation Methodology for Remote Evaluation (HUEMRE), Training Framework for Untrained Observer (TFUO), and Framework on Educational Games Behavior Intention (EGsBI), which are specifically designed frameworks for this purpose. The results of this study explained that the Omani children are facing difficulties in using the imported educational games; furthermore, this study proves that culture, language, animation, and interaction are contributing heavily to benefiting from educational games, and, therefore, these factors shall be highly considered in the process of educational games design to facilitate and ensure children learning; furthermore, the findings of this study enrich the comprehension of how the specified factors positively affect behavioral intention of Omani students in the use of educational games and in improving the behavior intention level of these students.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine whether specific attitudes and beliefs among pre-service teachers about the use of computer games in mathematics teaching and learning predict their intention to integrate computer games in future mathematics teaching. Data were collected via a questionnaire from 119 teacher education students in a mathematics methods class at a midwestern USA university. Findings indicate that previous experience of computer gaming, gamer identity, self-efficacy for computer game-based teaching, perceived educational benefits of computer games, and gender stereotypes about computer gaming were significantly related to intention to integrate computer games in future teaching. Multi-level linear regression analysis indicates that self-efficacy, perceived benefits and gender stereotypes did not explain significantly more variance in intention for game integration above and beyond that explained by previous experience of computer gaming and gamer identity. Gender and specialization of the preservice teachers were related to previous experience of computer gaming and gamer identity. The results and educational implications of the study for teacher education and policy making are discussed and limitations of the study are addressed.

Abstract (sommario):

Over the past 15 years, various government agencies in Singapore have supported educational game development and research, producing multiple digital games (e.g., Legends of Alkhemia, Statecraft X), and non-digital games (e.g., Green City Blues, Money Matters). Although these games had been successful as research tools used to investigate gamebased learning, their impact in schools has been limited by contextual factors including the school environment and culture (Chee et al., 2014). Further, little is documented regarding the details of designing educational games for these contexts. This paper describes the challenges I faced as a new researcher in Singapore tasked with designing new educational games that could simultaneously be used as research tools while also serving as effective, sustainable learning experiences in classrooms in Singapore. Although research-based educational games in Singapore and around the world have been created to instantiate and test theories of learning, these games have often been created without much attention given to classroom practicality and longer-term sustainability. This paper recounts this process and describes the constraints that were faced. By describing the conditions and constraints from the development process, the author hopes to inform and improve the design of future research/educational games that can have lasting and significant impact on Singapore student learning.

Abstract (sommario):

Educational games are considered interactive activities that should be just as motivating and engaging as regular digital games, but players will learn rather than just be entertained. Despite some limited success over the past few decades, educational games have failed to reach mainstream adoption or success. This chapter claims that such a failure is the result of poor design. Designers can create better educational games once they have a better understanding of how to design games. To this end, three aspects of game design are investigated to see how they relate to the design of successful games. Firstly, how players learn or come to understand something while playing a game. Secondly, how designers can ensure players remain motivated to play the game. Lastly, how both education and motivation should be considered from the perspective of gameplay

Abstract (sommario):

Millions in taxpayer and foundation euros and dollars have been spent building and testing educational video games, games for health, and serious games. What have been the fruits of this frenzy of activity? What educational video game has had the reach and impact of Sesame Street or Blues Clues television shows? By comparison, the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW) managed to get Sesame Street off the ground within a couple of years, writing the basic scientific literature on educational media design in the process. Not only is Sesame Street well known and proven, it laid the basis for every effective educational show to follow. This article explores the differences between the CTW scientific approach to educational media production and the mostly nonscientific approach consuming so many resources in the educational games, games for health, and serious games movements. Fundamental scientific questions that remain unanswered are outlined.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of Newton’s Laws educational games in improving Newton’s Laws achievement and instructional efficiency. Two educational games were developed, namely educational games with self-explanation (DPK) and educational games without self-explanation (TPK). Based on Rapid Prototyping model, these educational games were developed in Malay Language and the contents were arranged according to Form Four Physics syllabus. Unity3D software was used as the main software in developing the educational games. A total of 196 students attended Physics play activities for two hours. Analyses of Newton’s Laws Test, mental load and interviews were conducted to examine the effectiveness of these Newton’s Laws educational games. The findings show that the students’ achievement and instructional efficiency in Newton’s Laws improved with the use of the educational games. This research concludes that the educational games mode plays an important role in increasing the students’ achievement and learning instructional efficiency with the DPK mode is the most effective and efficient. The educational games mode serves as a scaffold for the formation of a coherent mental model and automatic schema.

Abstract (sommario):

Games and Educational Games(EGs)! To what extent do they diverge? How do game designers approach such apposition? The extensive need for games in and outside classrooms demands clarity between games and EGs through game designers’ perspectives. In the Australian context, game designers have witnessed technological advancement, the user-expectation, and the use of games within various contexts, including the classroom. The transformation in technology and the need to adapt and design games corresponds to the needs and requirements of its end-users. Admittedly, it has been overlooked in gaming studies if the designing processes and their perception differs between games and EGs. Respecting that aspect and the knowledge adapted by game designers to achieve players’ experience successfully, we first need to comprehend how game designers position games and EGs within their context, their experience constructed over time, and their beliefs. Therefore, this paper interprets seventeen game designers’ perspectives through semi-structured interviews in Australia. The data is thematically categorized, coded, and analyzed using NVivo. The results are presented through the interpretivism paradigm, which is grounded in the theoretical implications based on Dewey’s theory of experience and concepts to gather the ‘essence’ of game designers’ experience. Furthermore, a conceptual basis is established for game designers and learning designers to consider while designing games and EGs.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper focuses on educational video games with a thematic orientation related to conserving and preserving Cultural Heritage (CH). Educational video games are effective and contemporary tools for influencing and educating users. Not only the educational content is integrated into these games, but they also embody the pedagogical and moral messages of the educator, which are transmitted to the learners in an entertainment game. This paper proposes a classification of educational video games in the domain of cultural heritage according to the significance and importance of Cultural Heritage objects in the three categories, presented in detail in the paper. The recommendations to designers included in the classification will help them purposefully design and develop educational video games for CH. These games will have pedagogical principles and form additional knowledge, values, and attitude in users towards the conservation of the CH at international, national, and local levels. The proposed classification of educational video games for CH will promote CH-related educational video games and provide ideas and opportunities for future developments for such educational video games. In this way, educational video games for CH will serve as powerful tools for raising awareness of protecting and preserving Cultural heritage.

Abstract (sommario):

Educational games are digital products resulting from the application of game-based learning concepts. The main factors forming educational games include combining a learning subject with challenging elements and engaging visualization. Most educational games translate the challenge component of the game in the form of multiple choice quizzes, questions, answers, or puzzle solving. This result causes the mechanical structure of educational games less interesting than the mechanics of entertainment games. This paper proposes a scenario development model for educational games derived from the game goal typology commonly found in entertainment games. This model is expected to be a reference for developing educational game scenarios that can enrich the types of mechanics and increase the engagement of an educational game. The proposed model in the research has been tested on two educational games, both of which received high attractiveness scores of 1.632 and 1.542 respectively on the User Experience Question (UEQ) scale.

Abstract (sommario):

In recent years, scholarly investigations have yielded the consensus that video games possess multifaceted attributes that extend beyond their conventional perception as mere sources of leisure, diversion, and entertainment. The immersive nature of video games has led to increased interest in their use as platforms for engaging in discourses across a diverse array of subject matters with the potential to reach a wider audience and generate meaningful impact. Combined with the sense of presence and ownership that allows players to be placed in the shoes of characters grappling with social or political issues, video games are converting into an effective and accessible tool for learning and engagement with pressing cultural, social and political issues. Current research aims to understand better the potential of educational video games to address these pressing problems, in this case, the refugee crisis, to evoke empathy and raise awareness by looking at the problem 'behind the scenes' with an audience that initially was not interested in the topic. This qualitative study (N=78) employed the narrative research method to examine experiential participatory learning with participants playing the educational video game Against All Odds developed by UNHCR. By immersing players in this virtual experience, this game was created to educate and encourage a greater understanding of the realities faced by refugees, the complexity, and dangers of the refugee experience, as well as the reasons behind their displacement. The promising results of the research show that a video game can address serious social issues by creating a simplified but still dynamic scale model of refugee reality. Participants reported an enjoyable gaming experience, newfound interest in the issue at hand, increased empathy toward refugees, and motivation to help people in need. The study illustrates that by putting players in the shoes of struggling characters, video games could make learning about these topics more engaging and, as a result, more accessible and appealing to a wider audience, including non-gamers and people previously disinterested in the topic. These results invite educators, researchers, and scholars from the fields of education, game studies, social sciences, and cultural studies to explore the potential of video games as a possible tool for engaging students, addressing social issues, raising awareness, and fostering empathy. The article also identifies several prospective domains for future research.

Abstract (sommario):

The presence of a feedback system is a key factor in maintaining individuals' engagement in educational games. This system aims to enhance player motivation and active participation in educational games. In addition, the feedback system can improve the players' learning outcomes by augmenting their knowledge. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of comprehensive research in the field of feedback systems in educational games, leading to an inadequate comprehension of how to construct a proficient feedback system that can more effectively accomplish the objectives of educational games. The overview of feedback systems in educational games is frequently scattered and fragmented, making it challenging to figure out which educational games incorporate such systems. This research not only improves the comprehension of the feedback system in educational games but also addresses an important gap in the existing literature. The aim of this study is to conduct an extensive and systematic review of the existing literature on feedback systems in educational games. This review is based on 36 relevant journal articles published from 2019 to 2023. This research examines the patterns in the utilization of feedback systems in educational games, including the technologies employed to build these systems, the educational domains studied, and the types of products developed through the creation of educational games. In this study, the discussion also includes the design techniques and methods for feedback systems. This text discusses the utilization feedback types as well as the algorithms used to analyze the feedback systems. The text thoroughly discusses the comprehensive selection of feedback components to be delivered as mediums for player feedback. In this paper, we will clarify the impact of using feedback systems in educational games on the players. This study greatly contributes to the progress of learning conducted through educational games.

Abstract (sommario):

The genre of educational adventure games is a common and successful choice in game-based learning. The games combine captivating narratives that motivate players to continue playing with game mechanics that are conductive to learning: the gameplay is slow-paced, allowing players to learn at their own pace, and focused on puzzles that can be infused with educational content. While educational adventure games are well suited for learning in most settings, their creation is often challenging for non-technical experts. Furthermore, existing game editors do not account specifically for adaptive adventure games, which can maximize the learning effectiveness of the games by catering to the players’ needs. To address these two challenges, we present a game model for this genre and use this model to build an authoring tool that lowers the threshold for adventure game creation and supports adaptive educational games. The implementation of this concept was evaluated in several studies.

Abstract (sommario):

Literacy assessment is essential for effective literacy instruction and training. However, traditional paper-based literacy assessments are typically decontextualized and may cause stress and anxiety for test takers. In contrast, serious games and game environments allow for the assessment of literacy in more authentic and engaging ways, which has some potential to increase the assessment’s validity and reliability. The primary objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of a novel approach for stealthily assessing literacy skills using games in an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed for reading comprehension strategy training. We investigated the degree to which learners’ game performance and enjoyment predicted their scores on standardized reading tests. Amazon Mechanical Turk participants (n = 211) played three games in iSTART and self-reported their level of game enjoyment after each game. Participants also completed the Gates–MacGinitie Reading Test (GMRT), which includes vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension measures. The results indicated that participants’ performance in each game as well as the combined performance across all three games predicted their literacy skills. However, the relations between game enjoyment and literacy skills varied across games. These findings suggest the potential of leveraging serious games to assess students’ literacy skills and improve the adaptivity of game-based learning environments.
