“…To accomplish this, they utilize a combined 'Learning Mechanics -Game Mechanics' (LM-GM) model and further add VR characteristics. The study found that VRSGs improve the presence, immersion, and cognitive performance of users as the VR component reinforces players' embodied cognition through a purposeful and interactive design [10]., VR offers additional gaming experiences that don't translate to traditional computerized games.…”

“…The study concluded that the Open Learner Model is effective in personalizing the user's experience, guaranteeing transparency, and helping users selfregulate their skills. Furthermore, in [10], the authors took it one step further by approaching SGs for improving cognitive functions through the lens of Virtual Reality (VR). Thus, their study explored Virtual Reality Serious Games (VRSGs) to optimize the cognitive performance of users.…”

“…Likewise, SGs may also enhance cognitive skills, such as selective attention, an important skill for students' academic performance [9]. Serious games show to increase players' motivation and adaptability to new educational content as the games can create scenarios that aren't easily accessible to them [10].…”

Serious games (SGs) are interactive and entertaining digital games with a special educational purpose. Studies have shown that SGs are effective in enhancing educational skills. Cognitive skills training through serious games have been used in improving students learning outcomes. In this article, we introduce the 'plants kingdom' serious game for improving adolescents' cognitive skills, mainly attention (Focus, selection, and sustained attention) and understanding skills. The game used the grade 8 Science book in designing the game content. The plant kingdom lesson was used for developing the game story and objects, its methods and tools were designed for the purpose of attention and understanding skills improvement. The game was evaluated on 43 students from public schools between the ages of 13-15 years, the study selected data from the students who had completed 5 playing sessions. The attention and understanding skills were assessed using the automatic recording and analysis of the game player's data. The variables utilized from the players' data included player ID, session number, gender, number of trials, level, drag and drop time, distance, reason for failure, position, speed, status, time, and playing tool. Results showed that the game improved the attention and understanding skills of students by 27% and 25 % respectively. The study showed the significant effect of serious games in enhancing students' cognition; thus, integrating serious games into the education system can potentially improve learning objectives and outcomes.

The primary goal of Serious Games is not only for fun but also for lesson. In learning the first stage of soil tillage which using the mouldboard plow, a proper understanding is needed so that the soil tillage process will follow the needs of plant growth. The use of serious games as a study instrument for soil tillage is under the concept of digital game-based learning (DGBL). The problem of players when playing serious games is less motivated to play because the serious game system and scenario are less challenging. That challenges accelerate the shape of knowledge and experience when playing the games (user experience). By referring to the Learning Mechanics Gaming Mechanics (LM-GM) model, which is based on multiplayer in serious games, hopefully the learning process of land management using the mouldboard plow can be optimized. This process can increase learning motivation and elevate the user experience. This research results a design concept of a learning mechanism and a game mechanism for a serious multiplayer game of soil tillage with a mouldboard plow. There are three types of learning mechanisms in conceptual and concrete components, also six types of game mechanisms that can be used as a reference for the formation of multiplayer serious games and the increase player motivation.

“…In chemistry education, much work has been done regarding alternative memorization methods, including concepts and strategies such as “learning by playing”, “edutainment”, or “serious games”, − i.e., games designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. The games can be developed either in a physical format, − a digital format, , or both .…”

Educational Videogame to Learn the Periodic Table: Design Rationale and Lessons Learned

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The periodic table allows to easily understand the chemical elements and predict the behavior of theoretical yet undiscovered new elements. Many memorization techniques have been used for learning the periodic table, yet serious games (i.e. designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment) have been underexplored to complement or even replace such memorization techniques. Since ChemMend, an existing physical card-game, was found to assist learning the periodic table, we explore the potential of e-ChemMend, a digital version of the game as an aid to memorize the group and period numbers of the elements. e-ChemMend is a single-player serious game to explore the eect of four dierent game conditions involving two experimental factors 1 that account for dierent educational scenarios. The rst factor investigates the role of playing through levels of increasing diculty versus playing with all elements from the very beginning. The second factor investigates the role of displaying the group and period numbers of the chemical element along with its symbol versus only displaying the element symbol. Preliminary results show that e-ChemMend is perceived as more enjoyable when the group and period numbers are displayed. In contrast, the game is found to better assist learning when this information is hidden and levels are shown.Taken together, our results suggest that a variety of educational purposes can be accommodated with a range of game settings. Ultimately, the design rationale and the lessons learned while testing e-ChemMend will be valuable for Chemistry instructors and education researchers. A desktop-based Windows executable version of the game is available at http://www.chemmend.uji.es/game.
