“…(1) face-to-face instruction and (2) game-based e-learning instruction. The findings of this study indicate that it is possible to improve academic achievement across the two methods; however, similar to other studies (Mysirlaki and Paraskeva, 2015;Ros-Morente et al, 2018;Gray et al, 2019;Nikolaou et al, 2019), the improvement was found to be more significant when gamebased e-learning was used. In addition, teacher satisfaction with the 7-week training program was very high for both methods.…”

Background: The primary aim of the current study was to develop a multimethodological teacher training program based on emotional intelligence (EI) as a key competency in order to improve student academic achievement based on two methods: face-to-face instruction and game-based e-learning instruction. Methods: Seventy-four primary education teachers and their 2069 students were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group of teachers (n = 23) were trained to use a face-to-face method. The objective of the training was that the teachers would be able to implement EI into their teaching to improve academic achievement in their students (n = 645) using face-to-face instruction. For the second group (n = 28), the teachers were trained to use an e-learning gamification method. Similar to the first group, the objective of the training was that the teachers would be able to implement EI into their teaching to improve academic achievement in their students (n = 758) using e-learning gamification instruction. The third group of teachers (n = 23) served as the controls and did not receive any special training, nor did they implement EI into their teaching (n = 666). Results: Implementation of EI into classroom teaching effectively improved academic achievement in primary school students using both methods. However, there was a greater increase in academic achievement and higher teacher satisfaction in the game-based e-learning group. No significant differences in student achievement were observed in the control group. Conclusion: Emotional intelligence as a key academic competency.

“…This indicates that digital newspapers publish only part of the reality of the situation, because scientific literature demonstrates exactly the opposite on this issue. For instance, several studies indicate that children frequently use video game apps on smartphones and these are now a fundamental entertainment activity for teenagers [46].…”

The growth of ICTs has led to a new socialization model and a continuous dynamic flow of communication and information, wherein smartphones have become very popular with teenagers. This paper investigates what teenagers use smartphones for and the related intervention measures published in digital newspapers. A qualitative methodology was used to analyze 362 news items published in 53 Spanish digital newspapers. The results and conclusions indicate that teenagers use smartphones mainly for recreational purposes and sparingly for educational ones. The published intervention measures are primarily aimed at stimulating citizens’ reflections on the subject, in order to improve proper smartphone use by teenagers.

“…Furthermore, in primary and secondary schools computer games can be used for simulating conflicts which occur in everyday life situations. By recognizing and controlling their emotions while in simulated conflicts, students acquire emotional competence [13]. Computer games can also be used for learning of safety education by pre-school children, e.g.…”

One of the main drawbacks of delivering new teaching lessons in e-learning systems is the lack of motivation for using those systems. This paper analyses which elements of computer games for learning mathematics have a beneficial effect on intrinsic motivation and give students continuous feedback in order to improve the learning process. While the control group has access to the basic version of the educational computer game, the experimental group uses the version enriched with additional motivational elements which include enhanced graphics for indulging in the game, messages of support while playing the game, and the possibility to compare results with fellow peers in terms of trophies and medals won.
