“…This finding suggests that while game addiction can have negative consequences, it can also be a positive addiction when integrated into learning. This insight fits the theory that game addiction increases students' self-confidence, mood, enjoyment and curiosity (Cruz-Cunha and Cruz-Cunha, 2012; Goethe, 2019; Huizenga et al. , 2019).…”

PurposeA lack of research has reported how playful gamification is applied to adult learners as an idea of andragogical instruction. Thus, this study aims to identify how the concept of gamification was used for adult learners in an online class during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on learning performance and motivation with the guidance of Knowles' andragogical principle.Design/methodology/approachThe study applied an explanatory sequential mixed method in collecting the data. Assessments' scores during the experimental research and questionnaires were used as the quantitative data. For the qualitative data, personal semi-structured interviews were employed.FindingsThe findings indicate that gamification raises student enthusiasm and interest and improves learning outcomes. Students who previously lacked attentiveness to the online class are now waiting for game quiz activities during the class meeting. Furthermore, the experimental groups reported statistically improved assessments compared to their counterparts. Indeed, some recommended other courses with whole activities of gamification and discussion rather than listening to talks.Originality/valueFor its implications, this study has enriched the literature on gamification implementation for adult learners. Regarding its originality, it has discussed an old issue of Knowles' andragogical principle from the novelty angle of gamification.

“…Serious Games. Los Serious Games (Juegos serios, en español) son una derivación de la Gamificación en el ámbito empresarial para aprovechar el poder motivacional de los videojuegos de ordenador para cautivar e implicar a diferentes profesionales con un fin específico, como desarrollar nuevos conocimientos y habilidades que puedan usarse en su labor profesional cotidiana (Corti, 2006;Laamarti et al, 2014;Susi et al, 2007). Los Serious Games deben entenderse como una formación profesional específica que aprovecha su faceta preparatoria para una realidad concreta, sin abandonar su faceta lúdica (Laamarti et al, 2014).…”

El Lore, en la actualidad, se ha convertido en la forma de narrativa principal en los videojuegos. En este estudio se planteó responder a la pregunta de si, al igual que ha sucedido con muchas otras tendencias en el ocio digital, el Lore puede tener una conversión y aprovechamiento en el ámbito educativo formal. Para ello, se realizó una revisión del estado de la cuestión, de las más populares metodologías actuales basadas en el juego (gamificación, aprendizaje basado en el juego y Serious Games) y de las metodologías y paradigmas educativos vigentes, cercanos a la estructura formal y procesual del Lore (conectivismo, diseño universal del aprendizaje, enseñanza multinivel, aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante, entornos personales de aprendizaje, paisajes de aprendizaje, Design Thinking, aprendizaje basado en problemas, aprendizaje basado en retos y el Movimiento Maker). Se concluyó que el aprovechamiento del Lore desde la educación formal es posible, aunque supone un gran esfuerzo y coste de producción inicial, que se compensa en una mayor liberación de tiempo y esfuerzo una vez se ha puesto en marcha y la posibilidad de aprovechamiento a largo plazo.

“…Developing a serious game is, just like playing a game (Corti, 2006; Hummel et al, 2011), a ‘learning‐by‐doing’ process with an important ‘trial‐and‐error’ component. Existing literature on serious gaming offers starting points for game design, which are added with requirements from the professional field.…”

Flood defences are often situated in public spaces and are mostly multi‐functional, multi‐financed and multi‐managed. Cooperation in flood defence asset management is important because roles and responsibilities are fragmented within and between organisations. This complex context calls for mutual understanding from responsible role‐holders. Research has shown that serious games are instrumental to reflect situations in which technical and social complexity both play a role. Serious games motivate participants to learn and to change the way they learn. This paper presents the development, application, and results of a serious game ‘Dike Dilemmas Under Pressure' that aims to create better mutual understanding between actors in flood defence asset management. The game was played with 67 professionals that fulfil a diversity of roles related to flood defence asset management in the Netherlands. The analysis of the results in this paper clearly shows different preferred cooperative attitudes between different groups of role‐holders and indicates potential misperceptions. The game participants were enthusiastic about the insights gained. They indicated that it helped them to recognise the broad variety of asset management dilemmas and become aware of their own cooperative attitudes and those of their colleagues towards dealing with these dilemmas. Future application of the game is recommended to monitor the cooperative attitudes of professionals in flood defence and to support the development of teams.
