“…When used in the classroom or in online practice, they present motivating strategies that seek effective learning through shared knowledge, cooperative reasoning, and ecosocial empathy. Therefore, they propose basic knowledge about biodiversity, sustainable artisanal fishing, and responsible consumption that transcends the educational environment, transferring the learning [81] they contribute to the daily life of students and their relatives. The measure of the achievement of this horizontal learning will indicate the pedagogical value of these educational games.…”

Oceans provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including food and cultural ecosystem services derived from fisheries. The sustainability of fisheries is addressed by United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 on ocean conservation, and education strategies should include ways to achieve it. In this paper, we describe a game-based learning environmental education experience for the promotion of artisanal fishing developed in northwest Spain, in which more than a thousand primary education students (aged 6–12) participated. Following a qualitative methodology, we analyze our own generated games, their formative assessment, and the results of their implementation in schools and informal education events. Moreover, we compare the educational games generated with other game-based learning experiences on ocean literacy and the sustainability of fisheries. These educational experiences provide play-based learning opportunities in which students show great motivation and increase their knowledge about marine biodiversity, the socio-environmental effects of fisheries, and ocean conservation. Some differences were identifiable in the choice and design of the games, including their type and duration, the dimensions of sustainability analyzed, the specific learning objectives sought, the historical and cultural references used, cooperative peer learning, and the generation of shared knowledge. In this experience, the inclusion of education for responsible consumption (SDG 12) within the sustainability of fisheries represents a remarkable innovation, empowering students in their role as fish consumers.

“…Semantic recoding and re-categorization of the situation appear to be among the core cognitive processes that contribute to flexible responses in problem-solving (Clément, 2009(Clément, , 2022Clerc & Clément, 2016;Scheibling-Sève et al, 2020). In fact, when faced with a problem, adopting a new and more abstract point of view can help individuals to identify the underlying structure of the problem and discover a previously unseen path to its solution (Gros & Gvozdic, 2022).…”

Being cognitively flexible is crucial for academic success, especially in disciplines requiringproblem-solving and abstract reasoning, such as mathematics. Therefore, investigating whetherthe expression of cognitive flexibility can be trained in specific areas of knowledge is a majorchallenge for mathematics education. The current study examines the efficiency of a trainingprogram designed to improve flexibility in solving proportional word problems. 147 fifth gradestudents from high priority educational schools in the Paris region participated in thisexperiment. Ten classes, from five schools, were divided into experimental and control groups;both groups took part in eight learning sessions focused on solving proportionality problems.The experimental group received specific training on flexible categorization and problemcomparison, while the control group followed a more conventional teaching on proportionalityproblems. Students’ ability to categorize and solve the problems was evaluated pre-and postintervention.Results showed a significant effect of the intervention program on children’sability to categorize and solve proportional word problems. These findings highlight the roleof flexible categorization training in promoting arithmetic word problem solving. Theimplications for pedagogical design are discussed.
