“…Integrating schema into games enhances knowledge acquisition, retention, cognitive load, and motivation (Ye et al, 2022). Game-based features in intelligent learning environments boost engagement, motivation, attention, enjoyment, and learning achievements (Sun et al, 2023). Lowering game difficulty increases positive emotions, learning motivation, and has consistent effects across different goal orientations, with no significant impact on performance (Cao et al, 2022).…”

The objective of this study is to examine and compare the impact of serious games and gamification on learning achievement and motivation. The results of the meta-analysis indicate that gamification has a more positive influence on learning achievement and motivation compared to serious games. The analysis reveals that gamification demonstrates a stronger impact on extrinsic motivation than on intrinsic motivation. Serious games have a more positive effect on intrinsic motivation in comparison to extrinsic motivation. The overall outcome suggests that gamification has relatively stronger effects than serious games. While the impact on extrinsic motivation is more significant with both approaches, serious games excel in fostering intrinsic motivation. However, further research is recommended to investigate the specific mechanisms that drive these effects and to identify optimal strategies for implementing serious games and gamification in diverse educational settings.

“…Research has shown that game-based learning environments may prove effective in increasing learner motivation and engagement, hence reducing student dropout and increasing student persistence (Sümer & Aydın, 2018;Sun et al, 2023;Zhang & Yu, 2022). However, in online game-based learning environments, persistence in progressing in the game may come at the expense of investing in each of the game's levels, and vice versa.…”

We report on a large-scale, log-based study of the associations between persistence and success in an online game-based learning environment for elementary school mathematics. While working with applets, learners can rerun a task after completing it or can halt before completing and rerun it again; both of these mechanisms may improve the score. We analyzed about 3.1 million applet runs by N=44,323 1st–6th-grade students to have a nuanced understanding of persistence patterns, by identifying sequences of consecutive single applet runs (SoCSARs). Overall, we analyzed 2,249,647 SoCSARs and identified six patterns, based on halting and rerunning tasks, and their completion: 1) Single Complete, 2) Single Incomplete, 3) Some Incomplete and Single Complete, 4) Multiple Incomplete and No Complete, 5) Multiple Complete and No Incomplete, and 6) Multiple Complete and Some Incomplete. Expectedly, we found a positive correlation between SoCSAR length and success. Some patterns demonstrate low to medium positive associations with success, while others demonstrate low to medium negative associations. Furthermore, the associations between the type of persistence and success vary by grade level. We discuss these complex relationships and suggest metacognitive and motivational factors that may explain why some patterns are productive and others are not.

“…All different sectors and levels of education have been irreversibly shaped by experiential, online and simulation learning activities, thus reducing the didactic learning part and expanding the cognitive one (Brailas, Avani, et al, 2017;Maamari & El-Nakla, 2023). Game Based Learning (GBL) pertains to the use of electronic games in education, in order to boost and enhance the teaching and learning experience (Sun et al, 2023). Learning analytics suggest that the whole curriculum of the school systems should be redesigned around games (Kim et al, 2022).…”

“…While GBL accounts for a small component of the entire learning and teaching process, gamification concerns the transformation of teaching in such a way that any directions provided to students come mainly through a game (Sun et al, 2023). According to Avdiu et al (2022), gamification in education is an effective tool towards the creation of inclusive classrooms.…”

Gaming in multicultural classrooms with refugee and migrant children: Exploring the potential of culturally tailored serious games as spaces for second language acquisition

Due to the emergence of technology and people’s dependence on it, coupled with global human flows causing intense student mobility in schools, the need for a new educational paradigm arises. On the one hand, people are becoming increasingly reliant on the satisfaction modern screens provide, and all other stimuli seem uninteresting and dull. In these terms, traditional educational methods appear outdated and ineffective for the modern classroom. Today, education is a critical factor influencing and preparing people to become citizens of a world without borders. Moving in this direction, educational tools should be diversified and adjusted to a multicultural context so that all students can emotionally relate and identify themselves with the knowledge they are taught. The use of gaming in education is a popular new addition to modern classrooms. This article will present the results of a research project that investigated the potential use of serious games in multicultural environments as a space for the acquisition of English as a second language. More precisely, the study focused on the culturally-tailored content of serious games and their ideal design features, according to English teacher practitioners working with refugee and migrant populations in Trikala, Greece.
