“…These findings indicated that personalized RPG environment is effective in improving learning performance, reducing EL, and promoting GL. This is consistent with Chang et al (2017), Toth and Kayler's (2015), Hwang et al (2012), Zualkernan et al (2010), and Zhong's (2022d) studies, which observed significant improvement on learning performance and cognitive load among students who were trained in the personalized gaming environment.…”

“…Personalized learning (PL) has been regarded as an effective pedagogical strategy to improve scholastic path, learning process, and learner satisfaction in different learning environments by providing a unique learning experience through accommodating individual differences in learning (Martin et al, 2020;Zhong & Xu, 2019;Zhong, 2022a). As perceiving the importance of addressing individual learners' needs in gaming environment, game designers began to incorporate PL into games by adaptively tailoring game content (Zualkernan et al, 2010), game structure (Lin et al, 2013), and/or presentation of game materials to individual game player (Soflano et al, 2015). Previous studies have proved the effectiveness of personalized games in improving learning (Troussas et al, 2020).…”

While role-playing games and personalized learning have been regarded as effective tools to improve students’ learning, incorporating personalized learning into role-playing games is challenging and approaches are limited to cognitive and motivational variables. Aiming at expanding approaches to incorporate personalization into role-playing games, this study included affective and cognitive variables to develop a personalized role-playing game, guiding by the situational design model. A pilot study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the game on students’ learning performance and cognitive load. Results showed that personalized role-playing game environment was effective in improving students’ performance, reducing extraneous load, and promoting germane load. This study also found that although decreased extraneous load, could leave students more GL capacity for efficient learning, this would not necessarily lead to performance improvement. Students need to be motivated to invest sufficient germane load to actively process the learning materials and thus, improve performance. The findings have several implications for future research designing personalized educational games aimed to promote efficient learning.

“…Personalization feature has been increasingly incorporated into CRPGs because researchers found that students’ individual differences need to be addressed in the gaming environment to better engage students and meet different learning needs (Alamri et al, 2020; Zhong, 2022b). A variety of ways have been used to implement personalization in educational game, such as using prior knowledge level to determine subsequent game questions (Troussas et al, 2020; Zualkernan et al, 2010), utilizing cognitive preferences to adjust game navigation support (Ku et al, 2016), and employing students’ motivational state to personalize game difficulty (Krouska et al, 2020). However, current approaches of integrating personalization into games are limited to cognitive and motivational variables, which resulted in narrow approaches and more variables (e.g., affective variables) are suggested to be included to design personalize games.…”

Engagement in educational games was conceptualized as four dimensions but few studies have examined the four dimensions together. Additionally, game features vary greatly in different game genres that demand different engagement dimensions. However, engaging game features were studied in general and did not inquire specific game genres in extant literature. This study aimed at filling in this gap by examining students’ engagement patterns as well as what and how game features provided engagement opportunities in a personalized computerized role-playing game environment through the lens of the four-dimension engagement framework. Results showed the instability of engagement and certain engagement dimensions would predominate in different gameplay stages. Students exhibited cognitive engagement both during and after gameplay. Behavioral engagement dominated during gameplay while affective engagement dominated after gameplay. This study also found that gender, age, employment status, and gameplay experience affected engagement during gameplay. All features of personalized computerized role-playing game could engage students but manipulating a fictional world and portraying game characters could best engage students. Implications and future research were also discussed in the study.

ABSTRAKDalam bidang pendidikan dasar, matematika merupakan sebuah pelajaran dasar dan fundamental. Namun, banyak peserta didik yang tidak menunjukkan sikap positif terhadap mata pelajaran ini. Untuk itulah diperlukan inovasi dalam pembelajaran, salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan game edukasi.Puzzle adalah game dengan aturan yang sederhana, mudah dimengerti dan dapat merangsang kemampuan matematika. Sedangkan RPG adalah game yang alurnya variatif, interaktif dan dapat meningkatkan ketertarikan pemain. Puzzle RPG adalah penggabungan kedua jenis game tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan dan mengukur efektivitas game dari ketiga jenis game tersebut sebagai sarana belajar matematika pada tingkat sekolah dasar (kelas 1-3).Keefektifan game edukasi dilihat dari peningkatan hasil belajar yang diperoleh setelah dilakukan percobaan. Untuk mengetahui jenis game manakah yang paling efektif adalah dengan cara membandingkan peningkatan hasil belajar setelah meggunakan ketiga game tersebut. Analisis perbandingan akan dilakukan dengan uji perbedaan menggunakan ANOVA dan uji lanjut menggunakan scheffe.Hasil percobaan menunjukkan peningkatan hasil belajar pada game puzzle RPG sebesar 53,9%, game RPG sebesar 41,7% dan game puzzle sebesar 33,9%. Setelah dilakukan uji ANOVA, didapatkan hasil bahwa terdapat perbedaan signifikan pada ketiga hasil tersebut. Untuk mengetahui perbedaan pada masing-masing game dilakukan uji scheffe dan didapatkan hasil bahwa hanya hasil belajar antara game puzzle dan puzzle RPG saja yang perbedaannya signifikan. Kesimpulannya, berdasarkan peningkatan hasil belajar, game puzzle RPG memiliki pengaruh terbesar. Berdasarkan uji lanjut dan perbandingan, game berjenis puzzle RPG hanya lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan game puzzle, dan tidak jauh berbeda dibandingkan dengan game RPG. Sedangkan game RPG tidak jauh berbeda dibandingkan dengan game puzzle. Kata Kunci: Efektivitas, Game Edukasi, Matematika, Puzzle, RPG. ABSTRACT Mathematics is a basic and fundamental subject in primary education. Nonetheless, students tend to have negative attitudes towards the subject. As a consequence, this suggests a call for innovations in the learning using educational games. Puzzle is a game with simple and easy-to-understand and RPG is a game that allows a wide range of variations and interactions. Puzzle RPG is the combination of the two. The current study was aimed at measuring the effectiveness of the three types of games as a tool in the mathematics
