Educational Games

1. A Study on Applications of
Educational Games to
Enhance Students Learning

2. ABSTRACT
• While educational games have been increasingly popular in education, insufficient
studies have comprehensively reviewed their effectiveness.
• To complement this missing link, this study explored game-based learning
outcomes including academic achievements, problem-solving, and critical thinking
abilities, knowledge, learning efficiency, skills, student attitudes, and behaviours.
Both negative and positive effects of educational games on motivation were also
explored based on comprehensive literature analysis.
• The role of engagement in game-based learning was studied, coupled with the
ways to enhance student engagement. We also explored the importance of gamified
components in student satisfaction and provided constructive suggestions for
designers and practitioners.
• Future research should highlight learning analytics and data mining techniques of
educational game-based learning and try to find out solutions to address various
problems to improve the effectiveness of educational games.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Gamification in education has become the focus of attention in recent
years. While “gamification is the practice of using game design elements,
game mechanics and game thinking in non-game activities to motivate
participants”, educational gamification is a teaching method that requires
learners to participate in competitions according to preset rules. It has been
an interdisciplinary and prevalent tool for educators to utilize in teaching in
the past few years. In view of the rapid development of technology, learners
may expect teachers/lecturers to employ this tool in lessons/lectures.
• E-learning through mobile game application is basically associated with
game-based learning. Educational games have been described as
applications which use video-related mobile game features to build
engaging and immersive learning experiences with specific goals.

students’ learning ability and understand students’ perceptions of
educational games.
