“…Although the positive effects of health gaming have been demonstrated by a large body of research, [1][2][3][4] numerous studies have systematically reported potentially harmful effects games can have on human health due to its potentially addictive properties [5][6][7] and overall detrimental effects [8][9][10][11] in several life domains for a minority of gamers. Such harmful effects related to addiction to gaming can include decreased levels of exercise and sports, 12 impaired decision-making, 13 poorer psychosomatic health, 14 greater incidence of psychiatric symptoms, 15 lower expected college engagement and grades in adolescent students, 5 compromised prefrontal cognitive control over emotional interference, 16 in addition to other psychiatric disorders and abnormal behaviors.…”

In the latest (fifth) edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5), Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) was included as a tentative disorder worthy of future research. Since then, several psychometric instruments to assess IGD have emerged in the literature, including the 9-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-ShortForm (IGDS9-SF), the most brief tool available to date. Research on the effects of IGD in Portugal has been minimal and may be due the lack of psychometrically validated tool to assess this construct within this particular cultural background. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties the Portuguese IGDS9-SF. A total of 509 adolescents were recruited to the present study. Construct validity of the IGDS9-SF was assessed in two ways. Firstly, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to investigate the factorial structure of the IGDS9-SF in the sample and the uni-dimensional structure of the IGDS9-SF fitted the data well. Secondly, nomological validation of the IGDS9-SF was carried out and the nomological network analyzed was replicated as expected, further supporting the construct validity of the IGDS9-SF. Criterion validity of the IGDS9-SF was also established using key criterion variables. Finally, the IGDS9-SF also showed satisfactory levels of reliability using several indicators of internal consistency. Based on the results found, the IGDS9-SF appears to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess IGD amongst Portuguese adolescents and further research on IGD in Portugal is warranted.

The incorporation of videogames into the training of students is a reality that becomes very important to the extent that they are becoming more relevant in their personal lives. Linking aspects of their informal to formal life implies taking into account how students perceive this link. The purpose of this work is to determine what the perceived utility values are among secondary school students towards the inclusion of video games in the curricular development of the contents of the said educational stage, paying attention to the educational approach of video games. The quantitative methodology used is based on explaining the relationship between variables through a multiple linear regression analysis, targeted at 223 secondary education students. It has been proven that this utility is linked to the attitude that the student has towards the following aspects: The culture of educational success, diversity, and inclusion, as well as coexistence. Therefore, we consider that the linkage development of content-video games is an element in value to be incorporated into the classroom methodology by the teacher.

“…Learners use their thinking ablity in order to complete activities like puzzles or quizzes. Novak & Tassell, (2015) investigated that the relationship between the time of usage of game between two groups. The learners who play the game for 10 hours show significant improvement in memory and gemotery performances.…”

This paper is an attempt to analyze critically the existing empirical studies of digital game-based learning courseware in Mathematics education. The major purpose of this meta-analysis is to identify effective game-based element to customize an engaging learning courseware. The meta-analysis was done focusing on Mathematical subjects to understand how digital game-based learning affects the learners' knowledge in mastering new Mathematical concepts. This article review is comprised of 17 empirical studies which were constructed on different framework of game-based elements. The findings revealed that there are twelve essential game-based elements namely fun, play, rules, goals, interaction, outcome, adaptive, winning conflict, problem solving, interaction and representation which are essential to create sense of engaging when adapting DGBL Courseware in Mathematics' education. The systemic review enables the researcher to design a game model for Mathematics learning.
