This work provides information about
a free-of-charge, trilingual
(Portuguese, Spanish, and English), game-based application. The game
allows high-school and undergraduate students to review chemical nomenclature
in an engaging and fun way on their own by answering random questions
from a database with over 700 questions. Student testing revealed
that the game design, content, playability, and usefulness was helpful
as a complementary didactic tool to aid in traditional study. Assessment
of student knowledge gains was performed. The results revealed that
students who used the game as a complementary tool had higher performance
in tests compared with students who studied nomenclature by only conventional
learning methods.
This report provides information
about an interactive computer
game that allows undergraduate students to review individually stereochemistry
topics in an engaging way by responding to 230 novel questions distributed
at three difficulty levels. Responses from students and instructors
who have played the game have been quite positive. Stereogame is available
free of charge in Portuguese and English and can be played online
via a Web browser or in printable form (board game, cards, and answer
key) that is also available for download.
This paper provides information about
a multilingual (Portuguese,
English, Spanish, and French) hybrid board game composed of a physical
board and an application for the Android and iOS platforms. The students’
opinions were very positive regarding the design, content, playability,
usability, and usefulness. Facing the disruption caused by the COVID-19
pandemic, 44 undergraduate students used the game to review concepts
related to intermolecular forces in a fun way that promotes social
cohesion. Assessment of learning revealed the game promotes learning
as well as a regular problem-solving class and can be used as a complementary
educational tool.
This report provides information
about an interactive computer-based
game named Nomenclature Bets and its utilization in the form of a
tournament as a didactic strategy to enhance the students’
interest in their studies of nomenclature of organic compounds. The
game allows high school and first-year undergraduate students to review,
in pairs, the nomenclature of organic compounds in a fun and engaging
competition by answering up to 650 multiple-choice questions. Students’
opinions have been quite positive, and they consider the game to be
a complementary innovative didactic tool. Nomenclature Bets is available
online via a Web browser free of charge in Portuguese, Spanish, and
English.
This report provides information about an interactive computer game named Say My Name that allows high school and undergraduate students to review individually nomenclature of organic compounds in an engaging and fun way by answering up to 600 questions distributed in three difficulty levels. Responses from students and teachers who have played the game have been quite positive. An assessment of students' knowledge gains was also performed; the results reveal that students who used the game as a complementary didactic tool in their studies had higher numbers of correct answers than did students who studied using conventional learning methods. Say My Name can be played in Portuguese, Spanish, and English online (free of charge) via a Web browser.
