“…They provide valuable learning alternatives, fostering cognitive skills like attention, perception, creativity, and abstract thinking (Zhonggen, 2019;Gaurav, Kaushik, Supraja, Yadav, Gupta & Chaturvedi, 2022). Serious games effectively foster and strengthen essential learning skills, including mathematical and logical reasoning abilities among high school students (Sánchez & Lara, 2021). However, few studies explore the relationship between complex thinking skills and serious games, especially when players can engage at their own pace without assigned learning objectives (Rosenthal & Ratan, 2022).…”

This study investigates the impact of game-based learning (GBL), an increasingly popular educational approach, on the development of self-directed learning (SDL) skills in complex scenarios, particularly in undergraduate logistics education. A key component of the three year study is LOST (Logistics Education Simulator), a serious game platform, deployed in an undergraduate engineering course in Mexico. An extensive literature review was carried out using Scopus to examine recent works published between 2019 and 2024, providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field. Subsequently, a survey based on the scale created by Fisher, King, and Tague (2001), known for its extensively evaluated internal consistency, revealed five distinct factors of self-directed learning. The findings underscore that the LOST platform significantly enhances self-directed learning, promoting the development of Self-management Skills, Openness to Learning Opportunities, Initiative and Independence in Learning, Self-concept as an Effective Learner, and Love of Learning. The students demonstrated a significant increase in their perception of these skills over the course of the study, highlighting the effectiveness of GBL in promoting such learning skills. These findings highlight the multidimensional nature of learning skills that can be fostered through GBL. The study concludes by discussing the vital role of GBL in complex scenarios, particularly in enhancing the development of self-directed learning skills in undergraduate logistics education.

Este artículo presenta los principales hallazgos de una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la inclusión de juegos digitales en propuestas de enseñanza del área de Matemática. La búsqueda documental se llevó a cabo a partir de la triangulación de fuentes incluidas en las bases de datos Scopus y Dialnet, entre enero de 2020 y febrero de 2022. Para la selección se siguió el método PRISMA, y se identificaron quince documentos para el análisis. Los resultados muestran el interés creciente de parte del profesorado de distintos niveles educativos por mediar las clases de Matemática con juegos digitales. Se destaca que las principales áreas de inclusión de juegos son aritmética, geometría y álgebra, con mayor presencia de juegos serios que comerciales.

Complex thinking is an important tool for effective decision-making, as it helps people to better understand uncertain situations by considering the multiple variables and relationships involved in a situation, thus being able to identify patterns and connections that would not otherwise be evident. This article presents the results of a bibliometric study to identify academic publications that consider the correlation between decision-making in the business area and complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The intention was to have a theoretical horizon that provides a complete overview of the current academic situation regarding the correlation of both professional skills to identify areas of opportunity for new studies. Methodologically, we conducted a literature review using Scopus and Web of Science databases under the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol from which a sample of 339 articles related to both topics was obtained. R, Rstudio, and Bibliometrix were used for the quantitative analysis of the data. The results showed an academic tendency to associate decision-making in business with critical thinking, paying little attention to the other sub-competencies of complex thinking. Furthermore, we found a concentration of research in specific universities and countries, repeating a tendency to study only a few sub-competencies. Overall, this work sheds light on the broad opportunity to link the complex thinking macro-competency with decision-making in business, to provide more extraordinary skills and tools to future professionals.
