“…Multiple representation-based learning supports the learning needs of many students concerning age and grade in elementary school. Multiple representations learning helps students learn to understand concepts with a direct approach to the objects represented by students (Nche et al, 2019). Applying multiple representations in elementary science learning makes evaluation easier for teachers because of thorough student understanding.…”

The paper investigates the multiple representation approach as used in elementary school science learning. A systematic literature review (SLR) method and preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) protocol were employed in this research. This included systematic review stages, eligibility and exclusion criteria, review process procedures, and data abstraction and analysis assisted by Publish or Perish 7, VOSviewer, and NVivo 12 Plus applications. The search for publications on Scopus through the Publish or Perish 7 application yielded 605 publications, and for the ERIC database, there were 2018 publications, making 2623 publications. The publications were then filtered according to compatible themes and 50 were selected to be used as material for the SLR. The 50 publications were analyzed according to the assigned topics through the NVivo 12 Plus application, and the results are described in this paper. According to literature, multiple representations is a learning approach that involves using more than one or two representations. This is done by utilizing text, video, tables, audio, animation, diagrams, analogies, cartoons, movements, formulas, and graphs to reflect, interpret, and solve scientific problems in elementary science learning. The multiple representation approach is implemented through task assignment, visualization technology; representation of images, symbols, tables, pictures, and graphs; scientific investigations; engineering design; technological skills; applications; recordings; and written symbols. The impact that the multiple representation approach has in elementary science learning is an increase in reasoning skills, critical thinking skills, communication skills, solving of science problems, concern for nature conservation, and social and visual intelligence. This paper contributes to research examining multiple representations in elementary school science learning.

Using games in education has the potential to increase students’ motivation and engagement in the learning process, gathering long-lasting practical knowledge. Expanding interest in implementing a game-based approach in computer science education highlights the need for a comprehensive overview of the literature research. This scoping review aims to provide insight into current trends and identify research gaps and potential research topics concerning game-based learning in computer science. Using standard methodology for scoping review, we identified 113 articles from four digital libraries published between 2017 and 2021. Those articles were analyzed concerning the educational level, type of the game, computer science topic covered by the game, pedagogical strategies, and purpose for implementing this approach in different educational levels. The results show that the number of research articles has increased through the years, confirming the importance of implementing a game-based approach in computer science. Different kinds of games, using different technology, concerning different computer science topics are presented in the research. The obtained results indicate that there is no standardized game or standardized methodology that can be used for the creation of an educational game for computer science education. Analyzed articles mainly implement a game-based approach using learning by playing, and no significant focus is given to the effectiveness of learning by designing a game as a pedagogical strategy. Moreover, the approach is mainly implemented for developing computational thinking or programming skills, highlighting the need for its implementation in other topics beyond programming.
