In recent years, educators have become increasingly interested in improving methods in order to engage students and enrich their learning experiences. With technology's continual advancement, educators are recognizing the effectiveness of Game-Based Learning in enhancing student learning. This paper aims to identify and highlight the key role-playing elements that foster student engagement in the classroom, proposing strategies to enhance educational games through these elements. A qualitative research study was made with a semi-systematic literature review and the use of the Minequest game prototype, which includes 9 of 10 RPG elements identified in this paper. Thirteen students have participated in this study and overall results show that they have found the game prototype engaging, but not educational enough only by itself. Therefore, it could be better if similar educational games with role-playing elements were used as a complement to conventional teaching methods.

Development of a game in the form of software for game-based learning poses significant technical challenges for educators, researchers, game designers, and software engineers. The game development consists of a set of complex processes requiring multi-faceted knowledge in multiple disciplines such as digital graphic design, education, gaming, instructional design, modeling and simulation, psychology, software engineering, visual arts, and the learning subject area. Planning and managing such a complex multidisciplinary development project require unifying methodologies for development and software quality evaluation and should not be performed in an ad hoc manner. This dissertation presents such methodologies named: GAMED (diGital educAtional gaMe dEvelopment methoDology) and IDEALLY (dIgital eDucational gamE softwAre quaLity evaLuation methodologY). GAMED consists of a body of methods, rules, and postulates and is embedded within a digital educational game life cycle. The life cycle describes a framework for organization of the phases, processes, work products, quality assurance activities, and project management activities required to develop, use, maintain, and evolve a digital educational game from birth to retirement. GAMED provides a modular structured approach for overcoming the development complexity and guides the developers throughout the entire life cycle. IDEALLY provides a hierarchy of 111 indicators consisting of 21 branch and 90 leaf indicators in the form of an acyclic graph for the measurement and evaluation of digital educational game software quality. We developed the GAMED and IDEALLY methodologies based on the experiences and knowledge we have gained in creating and publishing four digital educational games that run on the iOS (iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch) mobile devices: CandyFactory, CandySpan, CandyDepot, and CandyBot. The two methodologies provide a quality-centered structured approach for development of digital educational games and are essential for accomplishing demanding goals of game-based learning. Moreover, classifications provided in the literature are inadequate for the game designers, engineers and practitioners. To that end, we present a taxonomy of games that focuses on the characterization of games. / Ph.

People often have very little knowledge about the impact of unsustainable human population growth on the environment and social well-being especially in developing countries. Therefore, an efficient method should be explored in order to educate, and if possible, to convince the members of the public to realize the environmental and social problems caused by the unsustainable population growth. Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) has been highlighted by some studies as an innovative tool for learning enhancement. While only a handful of studies have scientifically evaluated the impact of DGBL on knowledge outcomes, the approach is an attractive tool to increase knowledge and motivate engagement with environmental issues surrounding population growth because of its potential to improve learners’ motivation and engagement thereby compared to traditional learning approaches. Therefore, the three primary research questions for this study are: 1) "Can a single-player digital game be an appropriate and attractive learning application for the players to gain insight about the relationship between the growing human population and the environmental issues?" 2) "How can we design environmental games for the players to gain insights about the relationship between the growing human population and the environmental issues via playing a game?" and 3) "What are the obstacles preventing the players from adapting environmental knowledge obtained from the learning mediums into the real-life?" To inform the development of an efficacious DGBL game to impact learning outcomes, critical reviews of environmental issues related to population growth as well as critical reviews of commercial and serious environmental games in terms of their educational and motivational values were undertaken in this study. The results of these critical reviews informed the development of a Guideline for Environmental Games (or GEG). The GEG was developed by combining the engaging game technology with environmental learning and persuasion theories. The GEG was then used to inform the development of a prototype game called THE GROWTH; a single-player, quiz-based, city-management game targeting young adolescents and adults. Multiple evaluation methods of the game were used to answer the three key research questions mentioned earlier. These methods included: 1) The Randomized Controlled Trial approach (RCT) where the participants were systematically divided into the experimental and the control group respectively and their knowledge scores (quantitative data) compared and analyzed, 2) The participants’ abilities to recall and describe the environmental and well-being issues were collected and analyzed qualitatively using The Content Analysis method (CA) and, 3) The participants’ overall feedback on the learning mediums was collected and analyzed to evaluate the motivational values of THE GROWTH itself. To this end, THE GROWTH was evaluated with 82 Thai-nationality participants (70 males and 12 females). The results showed that participants assigned to play THE GROWTH demonstrated greater environmental and social-well-being knowledge related to population growth (F(1,40) = 43.86, p = .006) compared to the control group participants assigned to a non-interactive reading activity (consistent with material presented in THE GROWTH). Furthermore, participants who played THE GROWTH recalled on average more content presented in the game when compared to participants who were presented with similar content in the reading material (t (59) = 3.35, p = .001). In terms of level of engagement, the study suggested that participants assigned to the game were more engaging with their learning medium on average when compared to participants assigned to the non-interactive reading activity. This is evidenced by the longer time participants spent on the task, the activity observed from participants’ recorded gameplay, and their positive responses in the survey. The semi-structured interviews used in this study highlighted the participants’ attitudes towards the environmental, social, and technological issues. Although the participants’ perceived behavioural intention towards the environmental commitments were not statistically differed between the two study group, their responses still provide some evidences that leaps may occur from the learning mediums to the real-world context. Furthermore, these responses can be valuable evidences for the policy makers and for the future development of environmental serious games. Overall, the results suggested that digital environmental games such as THE GROWTH might be an effective and motivational tool in promote the learning about sustainable population size, the environment, and the social well-being. The game’s ability to convince the participants to change towards sustainable lifestyles, however, might be subjected to the future research and other real-world circumstances such as the governmental and public supports. In summary, the research in this thesis makes the following contributions to knowledge: • The Guideline for Environmental Games (GEG) contributes to knowledge about making theoretically-based environmental games. It has particular significance because the guideline was validated by demonstrating learning improvements in a systematic randomized controlled trial. • The use of Multi-Strategy Study Design where multiple systematic evaluation methods were used in conjunction to provide conclusive findings about the efficacy of DGBL to impact outcomes. • THE GROWTH itself is a contribution to applied research as an example of an effective DGBL learning tool.

The traditional history educational methods mainly consists of and are focused on memory, reading, repetition and writing skills, however this paper aims to give an overview of research regarding “Game-based learning”, it’s uses in education of history, and if it can be used as a way to complement the traditional education and give history teachers the tools to make their teaching more diverse. Useful materials were found in the databases: EBSCO, IEEE Xplore och Science Direct. Each of the 3 practical and 3 informational studies has been carefully selected by their subject relevance and the quality of the study’s gathering, use and compilation of data. The results in this overview are both positive and negative. The studies found on the subject show that the students not only learn historical facts when using game-based learning but also become very engaged in the lesson and achieve a deeper historical perspective where they can understand the historical events in the historical context and relate to people of that point in time. However, the drawbacks are that some students have been reported to have missed some facts altogether, and that would have been avoided in traditional education (Erhel & Jamet, 2013). Another drawback that has been noted is that Game Based learning is incredibly time consuming and if it is not used correctly it risks creating a dilemma for the history teacher where the teacher has to choose Game-based learning or traditional education of history (Watson & Mong & Harris, 2010). But if it is used correctly, studies have also shown that they can be combined (Erhel & Jamet, 2013; Kuran & Tozoglu & Tavernari, 2018).

Impersonal, non-face-to-face contact and text-based interfaces, in the e-Learning segment, present major problems that are encountered by learners, since they are out on vital personal interactions and useful feedback messages, as well as on real-time information about their learning performance. This research programme suggests a multimodal, combined with an edutainment approach, which is expected to improve the communications between users and e-Learning systems. This thesis empirically investigates users’ effectiveness; efficiency and satisfaction, in order to determine the influence of edutainment, (e.g. amusing speech and facial expressions), combined with multimodal metaphors, (e.g. speech, earcon, avatar, etc.), within e-Learning environments. Besides text, speech, visual, and earcon modalities, avatars are incorporated to offer a visual and listening realm, in online learning. The methodology used for this research project comprises a literature review, as well as three experimental platforms. The initial experiment serves as a first step towards investigating the feasibility of completing all the tasks and objectives in the research project, outlined above. The remaining two experiments explore, further, the role of edutainment in enhancing e-Learning user interfaces. The overall challenge is to enhance user-interface usability; to improve the presentation of learning, in e-Learning systems; to improve user enjoyment; to enhance interactivity and learning performance; and, also, to contribute in developing guidelines for multimodal involvement, in the context of edutainment. The results of the experiments presented in this thesis show an improvement in user enjoyment, through satisfaction measurements. In the first experiment, the enjoyment level increased by 11%, in the Edutainment (E) platform, compared to the Non-edutainment (NE) interface. In the second experiment, the Game-Based Learning (GBL) interface obtained 14% greater enhancement than the Virtual Class (VC) interface and 20.85% more than the Storytelling interface; whereas, the percentage obtained by the game incorporated with avatars increased by an extra 3%, compared with the other platforms, in the third experiment. In addition, improvement in both user performance and learning retention were detected through effective and efficiency measurements. In the first experiment, there was no significant difference between mean values of time, for both conditions (E) & (NE) which were not found to be significant, when tested using T-test. In the second experiment, the time spent in condition (GBL) was higher by 7-10 seconds, than in the other conditions. In the third experiment, the mean values of the time taken by the users, in all conditions, were comparable, with an average of 22.8%. With regards to effectiveness, the findings of the first experiment showed, generally, that the mean correct answer for condition (E) was higher by 20%, than the mean for condition (NE). Users in condition (GBL) performed better than the users in the other conditions, in the second experiment. The percentage of correct answers, in the second experiment, was higher by 20% and by 34.7%, in condition (GBL), than in the (VC) and (ST), respectively. Finally, a set of empirically derived guidelines was produced for the design of usable multimodal e-Learning and edutainment interfaces.

Le phénomène du décrochage scolaire est encore très présent dans notre société, particulièrement chez les garçons. Notre mémoire s’intéresse à la question et vise à mieux comprendre la dynamique motivationnelle d’un échantillon (N=11) d’élèves masculins considéré comme étant « à risque » de décrochage au 3e cycle d’une école primaire de Montréal. De plus, notre expérimentation vise spécifiquement à décrire l’influence de l’utilisation d’une activité pédagogique dite « motivante » : le jeu éducatif numérique « Math en Jeu » sur la dynamique motivationnelle à apprendre en mathématiques. Il s’agit d’une étude de cas avec une approche mixte de collecte de données. Nos résultats révèlent quatre profils de dynamique motivationnelle chez les élèves de notre échantillon : 1) les élèves en difficulté en mathématiques, 2) les élèves démotivés et 3) les élèves démotivés et en difficulté en mathématiques, puis, 4) des cas plus complexes. Notre analyse montre que « Math en Jeu » suscite un grand intérêt chez tous les élèves de notre échantillon. L’influence du jeu sur la dynamique motivationnelle semble toutefois mieux convenir aux élèves avec des dynamiques motivationnelles de type « démotivé » ou « démotivé et en difficulté en mathématiques » et dans une certaine mesure, certains élèves catégorisés comme étant des « cas complexes ». Nos résultats indiquent que le jeu pourrait notamment avoir une certaine influence sur le sentiment de compétence à réussir de l’élève. Toutefois, pour être en mesure de mieux décrire et analyser ces influences, il serait préférable de mener des recherches sur une plus longue durée, dans un contexte naturel de classe et sur un échantillon d’élèves plus grand. / The phenomena of school dropouts remains an area of grave concern in North American society, and one that is particularly present among boys. Our research aims to better understand the motivational dynamics of elementary school boys considered “atrisk” (Student Subjects = 11). Our research, both theoretical and practical, analyses the influence of an educational video game called "Math-a-Maze" on the motivational dynamics of boys at-risk, when learning mathematics. This is a case study with a mixed approach to data collection. Our sample of students represents four types of motivational dynamics : 1) Students that struggle in mathematics, 2) Students that are disengaged, 3) Students that are disengaged and that struggle in mathematics, and, 4) More complex cases. Our analysis revealed that “Math-a-Maze” generated great interest and enthusiasm among all students in our sample. The influence of this learning tool on the motivational dynamics of our subjects was more pronounced for students displaying motivational dynamics 2 and 3, "disengaged" or “disengaged and struggling in math” and some students of more complex cases. For example, our results indicate that this educational game could have a positive influence on the student’s sense of competency, and thus, their self-confidence in the subject. In order to more thoroughly explore the possible influences of this teaching method however, more in-depth research is suggested, over a longer period of time, in a natural classroom environment and with a larger sample of students at-risk.

O presente estudo busca explicar de que forma o uso de jogos digitais contribui para o processo de desenvolvimento de gestores públicos, considerando-se que a capacitação gerencial é fundamental para o alcance de resultados e para a prestação de serviços públicos de qualidade. O primeiro passo da pesquisa foi compreender na literatura o que significa o uso de jogos digitais para fins educacionais e de desenvolvimento, o que foi feito por meio de um estudo bibliométrico. Na prática, o uso de jogos digitais relaciona-se a conceitos como jogos sérios (serious games), gamificação (gamification) e aprendizado por meio de jogos (game-based learning). O estudo envolveu, então, o desenvolvimento do serious game Liderança em Jogo: Competências, Papéis e Responsabilidades, que leva em conta o contexto do setor público e foi pensado justamente como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento de gestores públicos. A aplicação do jogo foi feita por meio de um curso especialmente concebido para este trabalho e a avaliação de sua eficácia considerou o modelo de quatro níveis de Kirkpatrick (reação, aprendizado, comportamento e resultados). O impacto do uso desse jogo digital foi avaliado comparativamente por meio de um conjunto de dois experimentos completamente aleatorizados, com grupo de controle e no formato pré-teste/pós-teste (experimento 1) e pós-teste apenas (experimento 2). A pesquisa foi multimétodo, envolvendo triangulação metodológica, sendo complementada por análises qualitativas (entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de conteúdo). Como principais resultados, foram verificados impactos nos quatro níveis avaliados. Os experimentos mostraram que, em comparação ao grupo de controle, quem joga (grupo experimental) gosta mais do processo de aprendizado (reação) e apresenta maiores níveis de atenção e relevância do modelo ARCS, desenvolvido por John M. Keller, utilizado para avaliar a motivação; demonstra maiores níveis de aquisição de conhecimento (aprendizado); desenvolve uma visão de gestão mais atrelada aos aspectos humanos (atitude como antecedente do comportamento); e vê mais impactos do treinamento sobre o resultado projetado de seu trabalho para o futuro (resultados). As entrevistas ainda indicaram que o jogo, além de ter seguido os preceitos de game design que o caracterizam como tal, provocou reflexões que resultaram em mudança de comportamento em situações do dia a dia. Assim, considerando-se o desenvolvimento gerencial do ponto de vista das competências como o conjunto de Conhecimentos, Habilidades e Atitudes (CHA) da pessoa, vê-se que o jogo digital utilizado é efetivo para o desenvolvimento gerencial, uma vez que os experimentos detectaram aquisição de conhecimentos e mudanças de atitudes. A contribuição do estudo é relevante pois, além de trazer evidências empíricas necessárias à literatura, integra em um framework conceitual as inter-relações de diversos referenciais teóricos como base para uma pesquisa operacionalizável. As principais limitações do estudo estão associadas à artificialidade dos experimentos e ao não controle de variáveis que possam ter impacto no aprendizado. Além da opção de avaliar apenas os níveis mais baixos de aprendizado da taxonomia de Bloom, com a utilização de questões diretas no instrumento de avaliação de conhecimento, o reduzido número de participantes também foi uma limitação, impactando as possibilidades estatísticas de identificar efeitos sobre os níveis de profundidade do conhecimento adquirido ou diferentes assuntos considerados no curso/treinamento. / This study aims to explain how the use of digital games can contribute to the process of development of public managers, considering that managerial capacity is key to the achievement of results and the provision of good quality public services. The first step of the research was to seek in the literature what the use of digital games means in terms of educational and development purposes. That was done through a bibliometric study. In practice, the use of digital games is related to concepts such as serious games, gamification and game-based learning. The following step involved the development of the serious game entitled Liderançaem Jogo: Competências, Papéis e Responsabilidades, which takes into account the context of the Public Sector and was built specifically as a tool for the development of public managers. The application of the game was made through a course specially designed for this study and the assessment of its effectiveness considered Kirkpatrick\'s four-level model (reaction, learning, behavior and results). The impact of the use of this digital game was evaluated through a set of two randomized experiments, with a control group and in the pre-test /post-test format (experiment 1) and post-test only (experiment 2). The research was multi-method, involving methodological triangulation and was complemented by qualitative analyzes (semi-structured interviews and content analysis). The main results show impacts in the four evaluated levels. The experiments showed that, in comparison with the control group, the subjects who play (experimental group) enjoy more the learning process (reaction) and present higher levels of attention and relevance, according to the ARCS model developed by John M. Keller, used to evaluate motivation. In addition, they demonstrate higher levels of knowledge acquisition (learning); develop a management vision more linked to human aspects (attitude as antecedent of the behavior) and see more impact of the training on the outcomes of their job for the future (results). The interviews also indicated that the game, in addition to having followed the precepts of game design led to reflections that resulted in behavior change in day-to-day situations. Therefore, considering the managerial development from the point of view of the competences as the sum of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) of a person, it is seen that the digital game used is effective, once the experiments detected acquisition of knowledge and changes in attitudes. The contribution of this study is relevant because, in addition to bringing empirical evidence to the literature, it integrates the inter-relationships of several theoretical references into a conceptual framework as the basis for an executable research. The main limitations of the study are associated with the artificiality of the experiments and the non-control of variables that may have an impact on learning. Besides evaluating only the lower learning levels according to the Bloom\'s taxonomy, using direct questions in the assessment instrument, the small number of participants was also a factor of limitation, which might have impacted on statistical inference of the effects on the levels of depth of knowledge acquired or on the different topics approached in the course/training.

長期以來，國小圖書館受限於經費及人力的不足，使得其功能無法充分發揮，有些學校圖書館甚至沒有規劃圖書館利用教育的課程，學生雖可到圖書館中自由閱讀，但若不具備找尋圖書的能力，常會因而無法找到自己有興趣的書籍而在廣大的書海中迷失，使圖書館的功能逐漸喪失，因此如何藉由圖書館利用教育課程教導學生找尋書本的能力也就越顯重要。 隨著電腦科技日益發達，學習教材和學習方式也變得多元化，近年來利用遊戲方式進行學習的研究有愈來愈多的趨勢，學者認為若能將遊戲融合教學，將能達到寓教於樂的教學目標。本研究透過實際開發遊戲系統的方式，嘗試以情境學習理論為發展基礎，將擴增實境互動技術應用到圖書館的學習環境上，透過「遊戲互動擴增實境圖書館利用教育學習系統」的建置，來發展創新的圖書館利用教育學習模式，並藉此系統的發展來支援國小圖書館利用教育的實施。 實驗結果顯示利用「遊戲互動擴增實境圖書館利用教育系統」進行學習，各方面成績皆有顯著的進步，且學習成效可排除授課者個人因素之影響，具有穩定的教學品質。另外，本研究所發展的系統，對於高、低分群和場地相依的學習者來說，使用本系統進行學習，其學習成效在「應用型題目」上明顯優於傳統圖書館利用教育，並且可以加強學習者學習動機。除此之外，使用本系統之教學成效不會受到個人使用電腦的熟悉度所影響，因此未來在發展和推廣本系統的同時，不需要考慮學生是否具備良好之基本電腦使用能力。 / Due to the limited budgets and human resources, most libraries in the elementary schools of Taiwan have been unable fully functioned and utilized as its role should be in school organization. Some schools do not plan and provide library utilization education for children. Although students can go to libraries enjoying readings, they are not well trained for search library collection and resources. As a result, they are usually unable to find the books they are interested and easily getting lost in enormous information environment. This study proposes the importance of library usage training as a significant program in elementary school; promoting students’ abilities of finding books they need both for school works and personal interests. With the advance in computer technology, the learning materials and learning methods have become diversified in recent years. In particular, the instruction method of game-based learning has drawn much attention in education research. Many education researchers and scholars think the integration of teaching and games will promotes students’ performances while the learning activities are also functioned as entertaining process. This study attempts to develop educational gaming system on the basis of situated learning theory, adopting the innovative augmented reality interactive technology on the library's learning environment. This study hopes students’ library knowledge of library usages could be promoted through the "Interactive Augmented Reality Games Library Education Learning System." Moreover, the study could develop innovative learning model for elementary schools in library usages as well as to support future implementation programs for elementary library usage education. Experimental results show that students have significant improvement on learning performance after using "Interactive Augmented Reality Games Library Education Learning System." The assessment also showed improvement based on the exclusion of personal factors from teachers. In addition, this system promotes better learning performance and motivation for learners of high and Low graded groups as well as the field-dependent learners in the “application questions” tasks. Moreover, the education effectiveness of this system will not be affected by personal factors such as familiarity on computers skills. Therefore, there would be less consideration on students’ computer skills needed for future adoption on this system in library usage programs.
