A serious game for improving the decision making skills and knowledge levels of Turkish football referees according to the laws of the game

Abstract

Digital game-based learning environments provide emerging opportunities to overcome learning barriers by combining newly developed technologies and traditional game design. This study proposes a quantitative research approach supported by expert validation interviews to designing a game-based learning framework. The goal is to improve the learning experience and decision-making skills of soccer referees in Turkey. A serious game was developed and tested on a group of referees (N = 54). The assessment results of these referees were compared with two sample t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-ranked test for both the experimental group and the control group. The findings of the current study confirmed that a game-based learning environment has greater merit over the paper-based alternatives.

Auction‐based serious game for bug tracking

“…The first scenario is depending on real project data from Project X. The second scenario is running the Monte Carlo simulation with parameters in Table 3 and using the gamification ratio, which is drawn from previously published work by Gulec and Yılmaz [50]. The main difference between the two scenarios is using a gamification ratio.…”

“…In our algorithm, we used a gamification ratio while calculating bidding day — this ratio based on a previous related work which was published in 2016. Gulec and Yılmaz [50] examined decision‐making skills on 54 Turkish football referees. They created two groups as an experimental and control group from 54 referees.…”

Teaching ISO/IEC 12207 software lifecycle processes: A serious game approach

“…Because particular tasks and clearly stated objectives of serious games make player easier to follow certain pathways and play their role for a set of planned behaviors. Such planned behaviors can be easily linked to the learning process where gaming may assist and ultimately create a user-oriented learning experience [61,62].…”
