Computers in Secondary Schools: Educational Games
Authors: Margarida Romero (LINE, UCA)
Abstract
This entry introduces educational games in secondary schools. Educational games include three main types of educational activities with a playful learning intention supported by digital technologies: educational serious games, educational gamification, and learning through game creation. Educational serious games are digital games that support learning objectives. Gamification is defined as the use of "game design elements and game thinking in a non-gaming context" (Deterding et al. 2011, p. 13). Educational gamification is not developed through a digital game but includes game elements for supporting the learning objectives. Learning through game creation is focused on the process of designing and creating a prototype of a game to support a learning process related to the game creation process or the knowledge mobilized through the game creation process. Four modalities of educational games in secondary education are introduced in this entry to describe educational games in secondary education: educational purpose of entertainment games, serious games, gamification, and game design.

Modèles de jeux sérieux collaboratifs et mobilesIza Marfisi-Schottman, Sébastien George · 2018 · Conf\'erence Environnements Informatiques pour l'Apprentissage Humain, EIAH, Jun 2015, Agadir, Maroc. pp.306-311 · AI summary available
Abstract
Mobile Collaborative Learning Games combine all the ingredients necessary to attract students' attention and engage them in learning activities. However, designing a coherent game scenario that combines mobility, game mechanics and collaborative learning is quite a challenge. In this article, we propose three game patterns that naturally integrate these mechanics in order to support educational goals.

Gamification of Quantum Mechanics TeachingOle Eggers Bjælde, Mads Kock Pedersen, Jacob Sherson · 2015 · Physics Education · Not summarized yet
Abstract
In this small scale study we demonstrate how a gamified teaching setup can be used effectively to support student learning in a quantum mechanics course. The quantum mechanics games were research games, which were played during lectures and the learning was measured with a pretest/posttest method with promising results. The study works as a pilot study to guide the planning of quantum mechanics courses in the future at Aarhus University in Denmark.

Developing a custom GPT based on Inquiry Based Learning for Physics TeachersDimitrios Gousopoulos · 2024 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a valuable assistant in many fields such as marketing, finance, project management, and education. In education, many GenAI tools have been developed to aid teachers in preparing proper educational material and offering personalized learning to their students, tailored to their educational needs. In this paper, we present a custom GPT (IBL Educator GPT) that is designed and developed based on Inquiry-based Learning and offers physics teachers a framework in which they can interact with ChatGPT and design educational strategies. The utilization of the IBL Educator GPT has led to an improvement in teachers' perspectives regarding the ad…

Abstract
The definition of the augmented reality concept is based on the analysis of scientific publications. It is noted that online experiments with augmented reality provide students with the opportunity to observe and describe the operation with real systems by changing their parameters, and also partially replace experimental installations with objects of augmented reality. The scheme for realizing the augmented reality is considered. The possibilities of working with augmented reality objects in teaching physics is highlighted. It is indicated that the use of the augmented reality tools allows to increase the realness of the research; provides emotional and cognitive experience, helps attract s…

How Peripheral Interactive Systems Can Support Teachers with Differentiated Instruction: Using FireFlies as a ProbeNine Sellier, Pengcheng An · 2020 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
Teachers' response to the real-time needs of diverse learners in the classroom is important for each learner's success. Teachers who give differentiated instruction (DI) provide pertinent support to each student and acknowledge their differences in learning style and pace. However, due to the already complex and intensive routines in classrooms, it is demanding and time-consuming for teachers to implement DI on-the-spot. This study aims to explore how to ease teachers' classroom differentiation by enabling effortless, low-threshold student-teacher communications through a peripheral interactive system. Namely, we present a six-week study, in which we iteratively co-designed and field-tested …

Technological conditions of mobile learning in high schoolNatalya Rashevs`ka, Viktoriia Tkachuk · 2018 · Metallurgical and Mining Industry, 3(2015) 161-164 · AI summary available
Abstract
This paper reviews the history of mobile learning, provides a definition of mobile learning. The properties, advantages and disadvantages of mobile learning, areas of its implementation at the Technical University and mobile learning tools were specified. The aim of the article is the analysis of the modern state of mobile learning and the determination of the conditions of its implementation at the high technical educational institutions. The process of the mobile learning in the national education system is in its formation stage. Nowadays the following stages of its development are formed, which are based on the availability of the technical means for the mobile learning and the mobile ac…

How are these papers found?
We compare the title and abstract of this paper with those of every paper summarized on this site, and with the papers Semantic Scholar recommends, those it cites and those citing it (for a much-cited paper, its most recent citations and, from OpenAlex, the most cited ones). Among the prior work and the follow-ups, the papers that use each other in depth, a method it uses and the much-cited follow-ups come a little higher. The levels (very close, close, related) come from the similarity of the texts, not from a judgment of quality; * marks a paper without an abstract, compared by its title. The sentence under a paper is written by an AI from the two abstracts: check it in the papers. A paper marked not relevant by three readers leaves the list.
For now only among the papers summarized on this site: search again to add the prior work, the follow-ups and Semantic Scholar’s recommendations.
