Animation that can function as informal learning media have been widely available in the internet, however animations containing BISINDO learning, where the animated characters perform sign language are still very rare. Like normal children, deaf children also have the right to get animate shows that can be used as informal learning medium. This research aims to produce an animation that contain BISINDO learning elements in it. In conducting the research, an exploratory sequential mixed method approach was used which went through three stages. The first stage is data collection which result in identification of visual content an teaching concepts of BISINDO. The second stage is making the animation process, in which the animation result are shown to deaf children to be evaluated how the comprehension and interest of deaf children towards the animation. From the evaluation, it can be concluded that deaf children are interested in the animation's visual and understand the sign language conveyed in it.

ICT-based solutions are seen to be almost totally environmentally friendly, but game-based solutions for energy saving have not been explored yet. This paper describes a comprehensive analysis and an in-depth interpretation of the life cycle environmental impact of a game-based solution for domestic energy saving, developed and validated within the EU-funded Horizon 2020 project EnerGAware—Energy Game for Awareness of energy efficiency in social housing communities. Life cycle impacts were calculated with SimaPRO 8.5.2.0 using the ReCiPe 2016 v1.02 midpoint and endpoint methods and information contained within the Ecoinvent v3.4 database. Although the pre-competitive solution, directly arising from the research project, was found to have a relatively high environmental impact, its future exploitation, which mostly relies on existing infrastructure, was found to be highly competitive from an environmental perspective. The game will help reduce the life cycle impact of domestic energy...

Concerns about climate change associated with the combustion of fossil fuels urge a call for widespread reductions in household energy use. Determining means of achieving this is a key challenge faced by environmental scientists. The current research presents insights gained from a 12-month empirical trial of new serious game for energy, ‘EnergyCat’; which was designed to encourage household energy reductions in the UK social housing sector. Effects of gameplay on consumption behaviours and energy awareness were explored using 82 UK social housing households (versus a no-game control). Results indicated the intervention did not lead to any substantive changes in awareness or consumption practices. However, post-intervention feedback highlighted several issues in terms of game design and usability that may explain why the game failed to change behaviour in this instance. We provide a framework of suggestions as to how the game design process could be improved in order to engage resid...

We present a gamified video conferencing platform that integrates real-time WebRTC-based video chat with multiplayer educational games (using Phaser3 and Colyseus) to boost engagement in children (ages 5-12). The system uses a web front-end (React/JavaScript) for the UI, PeerJS/WebRTC for peer-to-peer video, and a Node.js server (with Colyseus) to synchronize game state. In a pilot evaluation with 30 young learners, the gamified platform produced markedly higher engagement and learning gains than a conventional video lesson. For example, students reported an average engagement score of 4.2/5 on the gamified platform versus 3.1/5 on a standard video call. These results are consistent with prior studies showing that game-based learning yields moderate-to-large improvements in motivation and engagement. Overall, our findings suggest that embedding interactive gaming elements in a video class can significantly enhance young students' participation and learning outcomes.

When students are given agency in playing and learning from a digital learning game, how do their decisions about sequence of gameplay impact learning and enjoyment? We explored this question in the context of Decimal Point, a math learning game that teaches decimals to middle-school students. Our analysis is based on students in a high-agency condition, those who can choose the order of gameplay, as well as when to stop. By clustering student mini-game sequences by edit distance --the number of edit operations to turn one sequence into another --we found that, among students who stopped early, those who deviated more from a canonical game sequence reported higher enjoyment than those who did not. However, there were no differences in learning gains. Our results suggest that students who can self-regulate and exercise agency will enjoy the game, but the type and number of choices may also have an impact on enjoyment factors. At the same time, more investigation into the amount and means of delivering instruction to maximize learning efficiency within the game is necessary. We conclude by discussing digital learning game design lessons to create a game that more closely aligns with students' learning needs and affective states.

Researchers have recognized the lack of systematic investigation on the integration of digital games into the classroom. In this study, a semi-structured interview is used to gain insights from four instructors into their teaching practices of integrating the Variant game into STEM classes. Thematic analysis is used to generate codes, define themes, and produce the reports in this study. The findings of the study indicate that the successful integration of digital games into the classroom expects instructors to be aware that educational digital games are designed for learning purposes and to modify teaching methods as needed before the implementation. In addition, instructors should facilitate a game-based learning process during the implementation and evaluate the implementation process for future improvement. The authors suggest that instructors’ deep understanding of the relationship between content, teaching, and the game is a critical factor that contributes to effective game-based learning.

2025, A critical reading of Huizinga: games as re-signification systems in a ludic society

This thesis proposes to define a play concept that makes it possible to understand the ludic attitude as more than an adornment of everyday life and, is this way, help in the analysis of human relations in different areas of contemporary society, whether social, cultural, political and economic, among others. For this, a bibliographical review is carried out, establishing an antithesis to the play concept of the historian Johan Huizinga to, finally, synthesize another concept. Here, the word play is defined as referring to any ludic activity, such as playing, gaming, dancing, reciting, acting and others. Initially, Huizinga’s research is approached, taking into account its potentialities and the criticisms made to them by its readers. Huizinga was chosen due to his relevance to the study of games and for being one of the main representatives of the European tradition of ludic studies. However, his work reflects the time and context in which the author lived. Huizinga’s game concept presented in his main work, Homo Ludens, is subjected to criticism by several authors of his time. Vilém Flusser’s conception of the production process through apparatuses will be used to connect Huizinga’s work to contemporary authors, in order to analyze the unfolding of his concepts today and the attempts to overcome his limits. This discussion is centered in the chapter Homo ludens 2.0: Play, media, and identity of Playful Identities, where Frissen et al. present the ambiguities of Huizinga’s thesis and seek to update his concept. Finally, Salen and Zimmerman’s work is used to understand game structure components from a game designer’s perspective. With this, Huizinga’s thesis and the antitheses of other authors and critics are synthesized in a concept that understands play as a re-signification system of concepts and materials, such as time and space; through institutionalized rules that are imposed or embraced; generating tension and fulfillment; and that can be replayed.

This study was conducted to identify the roles of teachers and students in learning environments enriched with activities based on mathematics museums. The research employed the action research method. The study was carried out with 17 seventh-grade students attending a middle school in the Görele district of Giresun, Türkiye. To collect data, teacher-student diaries, interviews, and observations were utilized. A total of six activities related to mathematics museums-four located in Türkiye and two abroad-were designed and implemented in the classroom environment. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis and descriptive analysis methods. The findings revealed that the most prominent teacher roles were that of an entertainer and a museum guide, whereas students predominantly took on the roles of activity participants and exhibition listeners. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that teachers assumed multifaceted roles beyond mere knowledge transmitters, including guiding the learning process, providing support, and enriching the interaction environment. Students, on the other hand, transitioned from passive recipients of knowledge to active participants who engaged in the learning process through exploration, idea generation, and collaborative learning. The results of this study may provide valuable insights for researchers and educators conducting future studies on mathematics museums. Moreover, it may contribute to the design of flexible learning environments where both teachers and students can adopt diverse roles.

Esse trabalho busca apresentar o projeto indissociável intitulado Grupo de Estudos em Ética e Filosofia Política, que foi criado em continuidade ao projeto de extensão "Divulgando as ciências humanas como área do conhecimento para implementação do ensino médio integrado", desenvolvido em 2019. O grupo de estudos como experiência de indissociabilidade entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão foi desenvolvido a partir da perspectiva de ter um ambiente permanente de discussões nas áreas de Ciência Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas, reunindo discentes, docentes, técnicos de todas áreas do IFRS e a comunidade externa com objetivo de fomentar a leitura, a pesquisa, e a escrita científica dos participantes. O grupo de Estudos tem encontros semanais, onde é lido e discutido textos de Theodor Adorno (1903 -1969), de forma a ampliar as discussões e melhor contextualizar sua elaboração filosófica com as discussões hodiernas sobre a ética, a estética e a política, em diálogo com a educação. Devido a pandemia do COVID-19, os encontros estão acontecendo de forma online, por meio de plataformas digitais, em respeito as medidas institucionais de segurança. Sendo o grupo de estudos uma continuação do projeto desenvolvido em 2019, ele está sendo trabalhado em diálogo com o projeto de extensão "Pluralidade, Mundo e Política", fomentando também atividades internas e externas ao campus Erechim. Diferente de 2019, não se tem encontros presenciais em virtude da pandemia, e assim foi necessário a mudança da metodologia de divulgação e dos encontros. Desse modo alguns desafios têm aparecido, como a ampliação das desigualdades, que impossibilita a participação de estudantes que não têm acesso a internet e equipamentos, pois dependiam das instalações do IFRS. Por outro lado, o uso dessas plataformas tem possibilitado o contato com outros públicos e pesquisadores de todo Brasil. Dessa forma o grupo está em atividade modificando suas metodologias previamente delineadas, sobretudo para executar os objetivos propostos. Assim, o grupo de estudos tem sido uma experiência de formação integral, de experiência formativa, construindo espaços indissociáveis de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, a partir dos quais se busca, nas reflexões sobre a Ética e a Filosofia Política, perspectivas para pensar a sociedade contemporânea e suas condições e possibilidades para o pleno desenvolvimento do humano.

This study investigated the effectiveness of Khan Academy as a supplementary tool in enhancing the performance of Grade 9 students in solving non-right triangles in trigonometry. Conducted at the University
of Eastern Philippines, Laoang Laboratory High School during the school year 2024-2025, the study employed a quasi-experimental design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A 15-item test,
which was patterned from the DepEd module for Mathematics 9 focusing on illustrating the Law of Sines and Cosines, was used to assess students’ understanding, with 29 participants divided into two groups: 14 students following traditional instruction and the other 15 students using Khan Academy as a supplement. The pre-test results showed no significant difference between the two groups, wherein both groups initially performed poorly. However, significant improvement was observed in the post-test scores of both groups, although there
was no significant difference between the outcomes of traditional instruction and the Khan Academy intervention. Also, the thematic analysis of students’ feedback highlighted challenges in using Khan
Academy, including difficulties in navigation, content accessibility, assessments, and technical issues.
Students also reported varied user experiences and suggested improvements such as enhancing technical stability, refining educational content, and increasing accessibility and learning flexibility.

The present study aimed to study the preposition /az/ (i.e., from) in primary school textbooks. Polysemy of prepositions is one of the sources of many students’ perception. A text corpus developed for this study from Farsi, Practical Science, Heavenly Gifts, and Social Studies of elementary school textbooks grades 1 to 6. To analyze the data, Rosch’s (1975) prototype theory and Tyler and Evans’ (2003) systematic prepositions polysemy approaches in the cognitive semantics framework were used. At first, the sample sentences which contained the preposition /az/ (from) were extracted to form the sub-corpus. The set of senses that are obtained from the sub-corpus are “Type”, “Whole Part”, “Tense, Source”, “Comparation”, “with the help of, By, With”, “About”, “Orientation”, “Motion”, “Metaphor”, and “Complement”. Statistical distribution of meanings in the whole sub-corpus (general domain) was “Whole Part”. The senses of the proposition among lessons and grades (domain restricted) are not similar to the prototype sense. This research showed that the sense “Complement” is the prototype for grades 1 to 3, and the sense “Whole Part” is more frequent in grade 4 to 6. Different forms of this preposition are used at the beginning, middle, and end of sentence. Furthermore, the findings showed that the sense “Metaphor” is the prototype for the book Farsi, the sense “Whole Part” is the prototype sense for Practical Science and Social Studies, and the sense “Tense” is the prototype sense for Heavenly Gifts.

Pembelajaran adalah proses yang dinamis dan interaktif di mana pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan pemahaman dikomunikasikan dan diperoleh melalui berbagai lingkungan belajar, strategi, dan teknik belajar (Takdir, 2019). Dalam proses pembelajaran, terdapat unsur-unsur yang bersifat dinamis, artinya unsur-unsur tersebut dapat mengalami perubahan selama proses belajar berlangsung. Unsur-unsur dinamis ini mencakup motivasi, materi pembelajaran, media atau alat bantu belajar, suasana lingkungan belajar, serta kondisi peserta didik (Pamessangi, 2021). Dalam pembelajaran diperlukan keaktifan siswa, baik dalam berdiskusi, refleksi, maupun pemecahan masalah. Dengan keaktifan tersebut, peserta didik dapat meningkatkan kreativitas, keterampilan berpikir kritis, dan analitis. Pembelajaran juga mencakup aspek sosial peserta didik dengan kerjasama dan berinteraksi dengan teman sebayanya.

Education plays a crucial role in disseminating the meaning of sustainable development. It addresses the integration of all dimensions of sustainability, i.e., social, environmental, cultural and economic. Therefore, it is important to include Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) at all levels of education across the world. ESD leads to the holistic development of learners, and also prepares them to understand and respond to diverse scenarios related to sustainability. Therefore, it becomes important to understand how deeply ESD is implemented in schools to transform them into green schools. For this study, a sample of 90 teachers and 18 principals teaching at the middle stage of schooling was purposively selected from 18 Delhi schools. Checklist, open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for the mixed method approach. The findings revealed that majority of the schools faced challenges in incorporating ESD into the curriculum and had insufficient facilities to qualify as schools. Moreover, teachers need to take more initiatives to urgently integrate sustainable development into the teaching-learning process. Therefore, it is essential for schools to integrate ESD into their curriculum to create green schools, a necessity in this globalized world. The study concludes that ESD is an important effort to rethink about the education system at various levels, thereby contributing to building sustainable societies.

This paper endeavours to research about simulation/serious games exploration within University of Algarve (Portugal), namely Cesim SimBrand for Marketing Simulation (course unit). A total amount of 30 learners participated in this study through a mixed survey (openended and closed-ended queries). The empirical evidences exhibit interesting outcomes: (i) a response rate of 50 percent; (ii) these tools increase learning engagement, although it is essential to be more realistic; (iii) teamwork seems to be a controversial topic; (iv) learners had a positive experience; however, some feel unprepared before their usage (prior knowledge). Hence, this survey provides a good platform for future research and approaches how to promote a better exploration of simulation/serious games. To conclude, this manuscript will be divided into six sections: (i) the 5W's of game-based learning; (ii) research (statement of the problem, aims/objectives, philosophical approach and data collection/analysis); (iii) diagnosis (game deliver and learners' pre-perception); (iv) findings (learners' profile, awareness, experiences and preparation); (v) limitations and future work (methodological limitations and tools/analysis upgrade); and, (vi) conclusions.

This intervention study was carried out to identify the impact of health education given to primary school students on their knowledge, attitude and practices related to health. The study was carried out on the students attending to 4-8 th grades of two primary schools in the provincial centre of Kayseri in 2009-2010 educational year. A total of 950 students, 408 students in the intervention group and 542 students in the control group were taken. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers and including 79 questions was applied to the students. Unpaired t test and chi-square tests were used for statistical analyses. It has been determined that the rates of the students who wash their hands when they get up in the morning, before and after the meal and after the toilet have increased in the post-education period in the intervention group. It was established that approximately 60% of the students had breakfast every day and the rate of having breakfast increased in the post -education period. Awareness rate of various infectious diseases and harmful habits such as smoking and alcohol increased in post-education period. It was concluded that knowledge, attitude and practices of the students related to personal hygiene, nutrition, prevention of the diseases and utilizing the health care services were insufficient. Knowledge, attitude and practices of the students can be changed in the positive direction through health education. Health education in the schools should be consistent and supported by the teachers' practices.

Komparativne analize jezicnog usvajanja u proslosti su se uglavnom temeljile na usporedbama podataka dobivenih na razlicite nacine i za svaki jezik pojedinacno. Kako bi se postigle sto vece slicnosti u analizama i uklonile razlike koje prijete pri usporedbi podataka dobivenih razlicitim metodama, americki su strucnjaci sa Carnegie-Mellon sveucilista u Pittsburghu u okviru projekta baze podataka CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System - B. MacWhinney) razvili transkripcijski sustav CHAT (Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts), koji omogucava ujednacavanje transkribiranih podataka za bilo koji jezik. Tako priređen i transkribiran jezicni materijal može se zatim analizirati uz pomoc programa iz paketa CLAN (Computerized Language Analysis). On obuhvaca, između ostaloga, programe za fonolosku, morfolosku i sintakticku analizu. Na pocetku zamisljeni kao alati za olaksavanje analize usvajanja prvog jezika, CHAT i CLAN pokazali su se pogodnima i za analizu ucenja stranog jezika, ...

With the big success that serious games have known in education field a huge need has been created to develop such video games in order to satisfy the demand that does not cease to increase, but the time, the cost, and the interaction of several actors during the creation process of video games can influence on the envisaged result and create several unexpected problems, to avoid such problems we propose in this article a new web-based serious games generator that adapts the process of video game development by replacing game design and game development phases by both programmed game design and gameplays, this new concept will allow the game creators to focus more in pedagogical aspect and pedagogical objectives that the players must acquire during a video game sequence, instead of wasting much time in game design and game development. In addition, the proposed game generator will be equipped with a fuzzy expert system to assist the users during the game generation process; the prop...
