“…The r strategy is adopted by species living in a disturbed or newly created environment (Brown and Lomolino, 1998). These species are pre-adapted to colonize such environment thanks to their broad ecological tolerances and the fact that species adopting r strategies have a large number of offspring at an early age (Brown and Lomolino, 1998;Parry, 1981).…”

Abstract. Natural disasters are too often presented as resulting from extreme natural phenomena affecting helpless populations, with people being insufficiently aware of the factors leading to disasters and of the existing strategies to mitigate their impacts. We developed a board game aimed at raising awareness about geohazards and disaster risk reduction strategies. The target groups are (1) secondary school students and citizens and (2) scientists and stakeholders involved in risk management activities. For the first group, the aim is to induce a better understanding of the geohazards and disasters they are confronted with in the media or in their daily lives; for the second, the objective is to generate discussion about risk management strategies. The game was tested with students in Belgium and with citizens, earth scientists, and risk managers in several African countries. Based on analysis of the most common game strategies observed, the players' reactions during the game, and their answers to a short questionnaire, we analyzed the main learning outcomes conveyed by this game. The game Hazagora appears to positively enhance the players' insights into processes involved in disasters. As such, the game is an effective, fun learning tool to introduce participants to the concepts of geohazards and disasters and to generate discussion.

“…Serious games are designed to support learning and raise awareness of important issues (Boyle et al, 2014;Pereira et al, 2014). Their main purpose is not entertainment but to use the potential of games to get people engaged and motivated in order to transfer knowledge (Susi et al, 2007).…”

“…Several studies have committed in the development of educational games to support the teaching of basic 21 st century skills (Boyle et al, 2014). Game based learning describes an environment that contains materials game and a game of knowledge and skills to gain score in which this game activity involves problem solving skills and challenges to students with a bit of disappointment (Kirriemuir & Mcfarlane, 2004).…”

Student's critical thinking and their learning result depend on learning design and student's activity. Most students use their spare time with playing game. Students are more challenged by the difficulty in playing game rather than facing the difficulty in understanding the lesson. This phenomenon is the basic reason of the researchers to develop a game that has the essence of the subject matter, namely Chemistry Board Game (CBG) or we can call it with Al Chemist Knight. This research aims to develop a suitable digital game based on android system. In this research media was used to improve the cognitive learning and critical thinking. It also has purpose to evaluate the response of learners in learning chemistry through alkane derived compound topic. The development of this game was adapted from the procedure of game development process in mobile 3D presentation. The collection of evaluation data model applied was pre test and post test in trial class. The result showed that in the pretest the learning result average was 34.35 with classical target of 5%. While the posttest learning result average was 80.51 with classical target of 85%. The n-gain factor was 0.703. Based on the result of the students questionnaire data analysis, 3.025 of students responded positively to the implementation of CBG. A CBG media makes an assessment of critical thinking, in which the indicator of critical thinking which are focusing on questions get 3,1 point, giving arguments get 2.95, asking and answering questions get 3.0, making decision get 3.05, and the average score of critical thinking indicator is 3.025 which belongs to good category. Based on the students' response questionnaire, we get the average score of 3.3 or 82.5% which is classified in good category.

On the other hand, it is argued that game-based approaches can be effective on learning in all areas, messages that are deepened with graphic designs in school life can be given with a fun and interesting approach (Boyle et al, 2014).…”

Video games today have turned into an important commodity with the use of art, design, science-technology and marketing techniques together, and the target audience has constantly evolved their expectations from game producers with the goal of getting huge profits so this technology developed. One of the most important factors of this development is the environment and space design used in the game production process. "Assassin Creed Unity" is a game which is produced by using the technology in the environment and space design at a very good level. The 3-dimensional spaces used in the games, which have been modelled with great success, have recently been associated with real-world examples by directly copying the original spaces. While the player's perception of the environment and space during the game are both auditory and knowledge, which is a result of hand and eye coordination and this acquisition process is also facilitated with the guidance, instructions and directions provided by the game. The story, architectural and graphic elements used in the game made extremely important contributions to the success of the game. This significant impact has been confirmed with a survey conducted with on a number of people that is actively using video game.
