“…Regarding game assessment, nearly half of the studies evaluated the games in terms of usability, playability, satisfaction and players’ propensity to adopt games as a new safety training method [ 23 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ]. Other forms of evaluation included training effectiveness through game performance (based on scores and player’s ability to complete levels) [ 37 , 47 , 48 , 52 , 58 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ] or through the comparison between safety game training with traditional training (i.e., performed through lectures, videos and power-point presentations) [ 22 , 23 , 42 , 47 , 51 , 53 , 60 , 72 ].…”

“…Finally, the last group of studies included the smallest number of studies, in which a control group (trained with traditional methods or devices) was compared with an experimental group (trained with a game). Participants who received game training performed a statistically significantly better hazard perception compared with the in-class lecture group [ 42 , 72 ], video-media group [ 22 , 23 ] and those who read the users’ manual [ 51 ]. Moreover, in [ 23 ] a follow-up test was proposed, demonstrating that VR training allows users to maintain longer memories of safety issues compared with video media.…”

Digital games have been successfully applied in different working sectors as an occupational safety training method, but with a very limited application in agriculture. In agriculture and other productive sectors, unintentional injuries tend to occur with similar dynamics. A literature review was carried out to understand how occupational risks are addressed during game-based safety training in different productive sectors and how this can be transferred to agriculture. Literature about “serious game” and “gamification” as safety training methods was searched in WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS, PUBMED and PsycINFO databases. In the forty-two publications retained, the computer was identified as the most adopted game support, whereas “points”, “levels”, “challenges” and “discovery” were the preferred game mechanics. Moreover, an association can be detected between the game mechanics and the elements developed in the game. Finally, during the game assessment, much positive feedback was collected and the games proved to be able to increase the operators’ skills and safety knowledge. In light of the results, insights are provided to develop an effective, satisfying and engaging safety game training for workers employed in agriculture. Games can be best used to learn and they are certain to improve over the next few years.

“…The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the scores of experimental and control groups and pre-testing did not have a significant influence. All et al (2017) conducted a study using the Solomon method on the evaluation of game-based learning and aimed to determine the advantages and disadvantages of pre-testing. As a result, it was determined that the pre-test had no effect and the game-based learning was effective.…”

The aim of this research was to examine the effects of the Augmented Reality (AR)-supported teaching activities on the academic success, motivation of students towards science learning and attitudes of students towards AR application, in the scope of the seventh grade science course, "Solar System and Beyond" unit. For this purpose, "Solomon Four Group Model", which controls the internal and external validity, was used. Research was conducted with 120 students in two different schools and involved two experimental and two control groups established by random method. Experimental (1) and Control (1) groups received data collection tools as pre-test and post-test, while Experimental (2) and Control (2) groups received only post-test. During the six-week research, the students were taught in the experimental groups using the 'Star-Tracker, Spacecraft, iSolarsystem, Space-4D' mobile AR applications, while the control groups were taught with the activities envisaged in the curriculum. "Solar System and Beyond Success Test" and the "Students' Motivation to Science Learning" scale, were used as data collection tools. Findings from the research showed that teaching with AR applications significantly alters the success of students and motivation towards science learning. This showed that teaching with AR applications is effective. Keywords: augmented reality, academic success, solar system, Solomon four-group model, 7th grade students.

Keupayaan untuk memahami dan menguasai konsep pecahan akan menyediakan asas yang kukuh untuk memahami konsep matematik yang lebih kompleks serta membantu dalam melakukan penyelesaian masalah yang melibatkan pecahan dalam kehidupan seharian. Namun demikian, dapatan pentaksiran antarabangsa Trends in Mathematics and Science Studies (TIMSS) dan Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) menunjukkan bahawa pencapaian pecahan di kalangan murid di Malaysia adalah di tahap kurang memuaskan iaitu berada di bawah skor purata antarabangsa. Dengan mengambil kira perkembangan inovasi dan kecanggihan permainan digital masa kini, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji kesan pembelajaran berasaskan permainan digital menggunakan Minecraft terhadap peningkatan pencapaian murid dalam pecahan. Kuasi-eksperimen dengan reka bentuk ujian pra dan ujian pasca kumpulan rawatan dan kumpulan kawalan yang melibatkan 65 orang murid tahun lima dalam dua buah kelas sedia ada telah dijalankan. Melalui pensampelan kluster, sebuah kelas terpilih sebagai kumpulan rawatan manakala kelas yang satu lagi terpilih sebagai kumpulan kawalan. Kumpulan rawatan terdiri daripada 31orang murid yang didedahkan dengan kaedah pembelajaran berasaskan permainan digital menggunakan Minecraft manakala kumpulan kawalan terdiri daripada 34 orang murid yang didedahkan dengan kaedah konvensional. Data dianalisis menggunakan ujian-t dua kumpulan sampel tak bersandar bagi membandingkan min skor pencapaian ujian pasca bagi pecahan antara kumpulan rawatan dengan kumpulan kawalan. Terdapat perbezaan signifikan dalam min skor pencapaian antara kumpulan rawatan (m = 51.096, sp = 17.242) dengan kumpulan kawalan (m = 35.235, sp = 18.171). Hasil kajian ini akan lebih menggalakkan pelaksanaan pembelajaran berasaskan permainan digital menggunakan Minecraft dalam pengajaran matematik bagi meningkatkan pencapaian murid dalam pecahan.
