“…Teknologi membuat efek positif tidak hanya pada sosial hidup tetapi juga pada pendidikan. Karena teknologi menjadi semakin lazim dalam pengaturan pendidikan, ada muncul harapan bagi pendidik untuk memanfaatkan alat digital untuk mendukung belajar mengajar di kelas (Akyuz & Yavuz, 2015;Gan, Menkhoff, & Smith, 2015;All, Nuñez Castellar, & Van Looy, 2016).…”

“…Additionally, the assessment model is adaptable to researchers' needs since it is not hardwired to game signals: the way each dependent variable (FA and IA) is calculated can be changed a posteriori, allowing the constants used in assessment model to be updated if required (for instance AMAX and EMAX, in our case study). Additionally, results obtained by this methodology could complement formal experiments to measure serious games effectiveness, which is still an open issue [41].…”

Although serious games are proven educational tools in many educational domains, they lack reliable, automated and repeatable methodologies to measure their effectiveness: what do players know after playing a serious game? Did they learn with it? Literature research shows that the vast majority of serious games are assessed through questionnaires, which strikes a stark contrast with current trends in the video game industry. Commercial videogames have been learning from their players through Game Analytics for years, using non-disruptive game tracking. In this paper, we propose a methodology to assess serious games effectiveness using non-disruptive in-game tracking. The methodology proposes a design pattern that structures the delivery of educational goals within the game. This structure also allows inferring learning outcomes for each individual player, which, when aggregated, would determine the effectiveness of the serious game. We have tested this methodology with a serious game that was played by 320 students. The proposed methodology allowed us to infer players' learning outcomes and assess game effectiveness and to spot issues in the game design.

“…Action research is a systematic process of observation and description, planning, action, reflection, evaluation, modification, where a combination of action and research can provide new insights for improving the quality of educational practices [4,11]. Although previous research has clearly proven the advantage of action research and e-learning over traditional learning [1,7,17], the effectiveness of e-learning in operational research topics, such as linear programming methods, have not been investigated adequately to date. Besides addressing this gap, this paper also aims to analyze the manner in which different linear programming methods are incorporated by students in an e-learning environment.…”

Abstract. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of the e-learning approach to linear programming. The goal was to investigate how proper use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and interactive learning helps to improve high school students' understanding, learning and retention of advanced non-curriculum material. The hypothesis was that ICT and e-learning is helpful in teaching linear programming methods. In the first phase of the research, a module of lessons for linear programming (LP) was created using the software package Loomen Moodle and other interactive software packages such as Geogebra. In the second phase, the LP module was taught as a short course to two groups of high school students. These two groups of students were second-grade students in a Croatian high school. In Class 1, the module was taught using ICT and e-learning, while the module was taught using classical methods in Class 2. The action research methodology was an integral part in delivering the course to both student groups. The sample student groups were carefully selected to ensure that differences in background knowledge and learning potential were statistically negligible. Relevant data was collected while delivering the course. Statistical analysis of the collected data showed that the student group using the e-learning method produced better results than the group using a classical learning method. These findings support previous results on the effectiveness of e-learning, and also establish a specific approach to e-learning in linear programming.
