“…Our finding is in line with the findings of Selvi & Çosan (2018), who found that educational games enhance students' achievement and are an effective tool for providing the retention of new knowledge. Within the scope of the study, the experimental group students' views on the use of educational games were obtained at the end of the implementation, and they were generally positive.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine how the use of didactic games in teaching science affects the learning environment, achievement, and motivation among primary school students. The research population consisted of 188 5 th grade students from two primary schools. This group was divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research tools consisted of two questionnaires: one to determine the motivation to study science, and the other to determine the learning environment. Moreover, a pre-test in science was administered before the intervention and a post-test was administered afterwards. In addition, 20 pupils were interviewed. It was found that the use of didactic games in teaching significantly increases student motivation to learn science and that it has a positive effect on all the components of the "learning environment", as perceived by the students. In classes in which didactic games were used, the classroom atmosphere improved more than in classes where such games were not used.

“…This is supported by the results of research by Cheng and Annetta [23] which stated that by using educational games, students are more actively doing several learning strategies to help student learning activities to be more efficient when interacting in the learning process. In line with the results of this research, Selvi and Cosan [24] stated that educational games can increase student interest in learning which impacts on improving student learning outcomes.…”

This study aims to find out the description of the use of educational game media and its impact on the mathematics learning outcomes of grade VI elementary school students. This study included quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test control group design. This study involved 29 sixth grade elementary school students at Makassar. Determination of sample was done by using simple random sampling technique. Students' mathematics learning outcomes data are obtained by using test of students' learning outcomes in essay forms (pre-test and post-test) given classically to students. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The results of this study indicated that the average value of students' learning outcomes before and after the use of educational game media has increased from 44.14 to 85.00. The test scores of students' learning outcomes were only centered on the medium, low, very low category before the use of educational game media. The average score in the very low category is at 31.92 with a frequency of 13 students, low category is 49.50 with a frequency of 10 students and for the moderate category is 61.66 with a frequency of 6 students. The average value of student's learning outcomes after experiencing the use of educational game media increased with a high category of 81.58 with a frequency of 19 students while for the very high category 91.50 with a frequency of 10 students. This indicates that there was an increase in students of learning outcomes after the use of educational game media in learning mathematics.

“…Selvi and Çosan observed that students developed strategic skills by playing games that provided an environment of competition among themselves, which encouraged the students' decision-making processes [35]. However, the focus was not on measuring the ability to beat their peers' strategies but on understanding student motivation.…”

Assessment in Software Development for Competitive Environments: An AI Strategy Development Case Study

Competitions are being widely used to motivate students in diverse learning processes, including those in computer programming. This paper presents a methodology for designing and assessing competitive learning scenarios that allow students to develop three different coding skills: the ability to compete against unknown competitors, the ability to compete against known competitors and the ability to compete against refined versions of known competitors. The proposal is based on peer code review, implemented as an improvement cycle after the dissemination of the code among participants. A case study evaluating the methodology was conducted with two cohorts of students in an undergraduate course. The analysis of the obtained grades suggests that while performance after our assistance was improved, students could still fail or succeed independently of the assistance. Complementary data from student questionnaires and supervisor observations are aligned with this finding. As a conclusion, the evidence supports the validity of the methodology. Additionally, several guidelines based on the experience are provided to transfer the proposal to other environments.
