“…The utilization of game-based learning represents a promising method to stimulate students' motivation and cognitive engagement in situational learning (Hou, 2022). A game-based learning environment offers a method for university teachers to integrate digital gaming aspects into classrooms successfully, aligning the course content with the gaming objectives by following a series of steps and activities (Emihovich, 2024). The application of immersive games in innovative educational practices holds promise, as the utilization of situational learning pedagogy provides students with an effective experiential learning process (Lau, 2023).…”

Background and Aim: Educational games offer interactive learning experiences that engage students, enhance motivation, and improve learning outcomes. This study compares game-based learning with traditional methods to enhance academic performance among Computer Science students at a vocational college in Chengdu. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods design was used to compare the effects of game-based learning and conventional instruction. 103 students were selected via stratified random sampling, with 51 in the control group and 52 in the experimental group. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured learning outcomes across four knowledge types. Results: Game-based learning significantly improved all knowledge types compared to traditional methods. Post-test scores were notably higher, indicating the effectiveness of game-based teaching. Both mean and t-test analyses supported the superiority of game-based learning. Conclusion: Implementing web game-based teaching positively impacts academic performance in Computer Science students at a vocational college in Chengdu. This approach significantly enhances learning outcomes across various knowledge types, offering valuable insights for educational program design in computer science.

This study focuses on the potential of Systems Thinking‐assisted serious games to facilitate learning at multiple levels. These levels refer both to the actors (primarily the designers and the players, but also the facilitators and the educators) involved throughout the main stages of a serious game lifecycle and the typology of learning that is facilitated (i.e., single or double‐loop learning). From a methodological point of view, this study presents and discusses an action research‐based case study aimed at developing a Systems Thinking‐assisted board game in the field of urban sustainability. Systems Thinking (in terms of methods, principles, and tools) is employed in all the phases of the design and use of the serious game and is key in fostering learning, both for the players and the game designers. Overall, this paper not only provides novel insights into the field of serious games but also leads to the proposal of a core set of methodological suggestions based on Systems Thinking principles and methods that can assist academics and practitioners in creating and using board games for educational purposes.
