“…The use of this method has produced positive results in the COVID-19 context ( Nieto-Escamez and Roldán-Tapia, 2021 ; Rincon-Flores and Santos-Guevara, 2021 ). Moreover, gamification has been used in different subjects, such as business ( Pakinee and Puritat, 2021 ), computer sciences ( Liénardy and Donnet, 2020 ), and chemistry learning ( da Silva Júnior et al, 2020a , b ), as well as biological sciences courses, such as biology ( Kalleny, 2020 ; Lobet et al, 2021 ), microbiology ( Dustman et al, 2021 ), physiology ( Moro et al, 2020 ; Hennekes et al, 2021 ; Herkes et al, 2021 ; Kane et al, 2022 ), and medical and nursing education ( Gentry et al, 2019 ; Malicki et al, 2020 ; O’Connell et al, 2020 ; van Gaalen et al, 2021 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has enforced social isolation in many countries worldwide, which forced teachers at all levels of education, including the university context, to adapt new teaching strategies. This study presents a method developed in this regard, that is, serious games were used as a complement to synchronous online classes to ensure the continuity of pedagogical activities in a physiology course at Universidad Andrés Bello, Chile. Using serious games is a strategy in the field of gamification, which is a commonly used learning strategy for online teaching as necessitated by COVID-19. This study is quantitative in nature and conducted a questionnaire survey on 108 second-year undergraduate nursing students to determine their perception about this innovation. The results demonstrate that the students well valued the proposed pedagogical innovative model in terms of motivation and engagement. Moreover, they reported that the model can serve as a meaningful learning experience. These perceptions suggest that the model is an efficient strategy for implementing the physiology curricula in the context of online teaching. Moreover, the results imply that the model should be applied to other courses and disciplines in the undergraduate program and provide support that it is a valid strategy for face-to-face teaching. Lastly, the finding points to the potential of the model to be explored as a learning strategy in the age of education post-COVID-19.

“…A cross-continent comparison of the level of satisfaction was also conducted. From the 13 studies that reported higher satisfaction with the use of online learning approach, six were from Asia [ 26 , 51 , 56 , 62 , 74 , 75 ], five were from Europe [ 32 , 41 , 47 , 66 ], one from America [ 77 ], and one from Africa [ 73 ].

Background This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among undergraduate health sciences students using systematic review. Online learning has been chosen as the best approach to continue offering education in this pandemic era. Method: The screening process was done using Scopus, ScienceDirect and PubMed based on the eligibility criteria. Out of 1486 studies, 1269 were screened. A total of 64 eligible studies obtained were included in the quantitative analysis. Results were categorized into i) student attitudes (perceptions/satisfactions/engagements), and ii) student learning outcomes, and compared to the Kirkpatrick model. Results Although facing difficulties, 50% of the studies was moderately satisfied with distance learning, while 36% was highly satisfied and 17% dissatisfied. Most studies (26%) reported flexibility in online learning. Internet issues (19%) and low interaction between learners and instructors (19%) were the most prevalent problems mentioned. Online education engages students better than traditional learning. The learning outcome was assessed using two categories: i) academic performance and ii) skill development. Most studies (72%) stated that online learning improves academic performance, 14% reported a drop, and 14% stated no effect, while an increase in clinical skills and communication skills were reported. Kirkpatrick evaluation revealed 80% of the studies obtained was evaluated at level 1 (reaction), 8% at level 2 (learning), 12% at level 3 (behaviour) and none at level 4 (results). Conclusion Overall, this systematic review found that the online learning performed better than expected during COVID-19, but the data gained is insufficient to say it is beneficial when compared to other types of teaching approaches.

The usability evaluation on mobile learning apps with gamification for middle-aged women

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mobile learning and gamification are becoming increasingly popular, especially in education. Numerous researches suggest that mobile learning apps with gamification can improve student learning. However, there are fewer studies that analyze the gamification effects and usability of mobile apps for middle-aged women. The aim of this study is to propose a new mobile learning app with gamification aspects for the use of middle-aged women in memorizing Arabic words. In the preliminary study, pre and post-tests were conducted to determine the effect of the use of the gamification application on 61 middle-aged women using Kahoot! game. The results from the Kahoot! game shows that participants enjoy learning and can memorize Arabic words effectively, indicating that gamification can motivate learning among middle-aged women. Then the usability of a new mobile app prototype containing learning notes and quizzes for user self-learning purposes was evaluated using three (3) criteria namely effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The considered indicators to measure the application’s effectiveness are (a) tapping behaviour (number of taps used to perform a specific task), (b) number of attempts (how many times users tried to complete the task successfully), and (c) quiz score (score obtained by user after self-learning using the mobile app). Two variables were used to measure the efficiency of the application: the duration of task completion and the number of requests for help. In order to evaluate the satisfaction, a questionnaire was used to determine how respondents rated the mobile app's usability. The usability evaluation results show that the proposed mobile app was effective as users could utilize all the modules provided and successfully answer the quiz questions.
