“…Most of the relationships that were observed were statistically relevant, and most empirical articles show the following main relationships: motivation has a positive influence on perceived learning (Attali & Arieli-Attali, 2015;Buckley & Doyle, 2017;C.-H. Chen et al, 2016;de-Marcos et al, 2016;Filsecker & Hickey, 2014;Gennari et al, 2017;Hanus & Fox, 2015;Ibanez, Di-Serio, & Delgado-Kloos, 2014;Simões et al, 2013), attitudes (Codish & Ravid, 2015;Domínguez et al, 2014;Hanson-Smith, 2016;Kuo & Chuang, 2016;Mekler et al, 2017;Schoech et al, 2013), and flow (Ahmed & Sutton, 2017;Betts et al, 2013;Browne et al, 2014; OPEN ACCESS Cózar-Gutiérrez & Sáez-López, 2016;Ding et al, 2017;Hamari et al, 2016). In turn, flow has a positive influence on perceived learning (Ahmed & Sutton, 2017;Betts et al, 2013;Hamari et al, 2016), attitudes (Browne et al, 2014;Ding et al, 2017;Zamora & Aranda, 2017), and motivation (Ahmed & Sutton, 2017;Betts et al, 2013;Browne et al, 2014;Hamari et al, 2016).…”

Quality of teaching is increasingly important for the success of educational institutions. In this context, gamification is a tool often used to improve the teaching-learning process by helping both teachers and students reach their goals in the short, medium and long term. Given the importance of the topic both in academia and society, this article presents a systematic review of the literature on the use of gamification as a tool to enhance the quality of the teaching process in general, and, in particular, the teaching of management. The study searches the most relevant literature on the application of gamification to educational contexts and describes gamification's main themes and constructs based on a systematic literature review of scholarly articles available in ISI Web of Science and Scopus databases. One of the main results of this study is to describe theoretical approaches to gamification and provide a conceptual model that gathers the contribution of various studies and paves the way for future research.

“…Facial emotion recognition seeks to predict the real feeling that a person expresses based on facial images, with a wide range of possible applications, such as improving student engagement [1], building smart health environments [2], analyzing customers' feedback [3] and evaluating the quality of children's games [4], just to name a few.…”

Abstract.Emotions represent feelings about people in several situations. Various machine learning algorithms have been developed for emotion detection in a multimedia element, such as an image or a video. These techniques can be measured by comparing their accuracy with a given dataset in order to determine which algorithm can be selected among others. This paper deals with the comparison of two implementations of emotion recognition in faces, each implemented with specific technology. OpenCV is an open-source library of functions and packages mostly used for computer-vision analysis and applications. Cognitive services is a set of APIs containing artificial intelligence algorithms for computer-vision, speech, knowledge, and language processing. Two Android mobile applications were developed in order to test the performance between an OpenCV algorithm for emotion recognition and an implementation of Emotion cognitive service. For this research, one thousand tests were carried out per experiment. Our findings show that the OpenCV implementation got a better performance than the Cognitive services application. In both cases, performance can be improved by increasing the sample size per emotion during the training step.

“…Several reasons support researchers' opinion that the facilitation of game design techniques, involving children, is a challenging endeavor. One reason is the numerous and complex cognitive tasks that are required for the creation of games (Moser et al, 2014), another reason is that such design sessions require a long period of time to be organized, requiring continuous interventions in the course of time, causing possible loss of focus for children (Gennari et al, 2017;Schmidt, 2010). As Hiniker and Lee (2017) notice, the greatest part of research on such initiatives with children targets children aged from 6 to 12.…”

This paper presents a teaching experiment with preschoolers, considering games as means for presenting problem‐based situations and focusing on the development of game design in connection to problem posing skills. The study was conducted in a focus group of eighteen 5–6‐year‐old students who participated in game design sessions, compared to a control group of students of the same age, who did not participate in any game design interventions. An experimental design research methodology was applied, where their skills, both in game design and in problem posing, were examined by a pretest and posttest. The findings suggest that the development of game design skills with the support of appropriate organized teaching interventions can also have a positive impact on the development of problem posing skills.
