Digital Educational Computer Games Environments Supporting Education (DECGE-SE)

Abstract

The purposes of the research were 1) to design the Digital Educational Computer Games Environments Supporting Education (DECGE-SE) and 2) to evaluate the DECGE-SE. The research procedure was divided into two phases. The DECGE-SE as follows: (1) Learning: (1.1) Subject area, (1.2) Learning objectives/Player goals, (1.3) Learning Theories, (1.4) Platform and (1.5) Type of game; (2) Instruction: (2.1) Game Cycle and (2.2) Components for educational computer games online; (3) Outcomes and Impacts comprised four elements: (3.1) Knowledge acquisition/content understanding, (3.2) Perceptual and cognitive skills, (3.3) Affective and motivational outcomes and (3.4) Behavioural change. The expert opinions on the DECGE-SE evaluated that it was a very high appropriate level.

The effect of educational computer games on the academic resilience, academic self-regulation, and academic achievement of EFL students

“…It is said that the use of educational computer games has effectively increased the variable of students' academic selfregulation. Comparison with previous results about the variable of academic resilience is consistent with the results of this research (Zimmerman and Schunk, 2001;Alt and Naamati-Schneider, 2021;Hirt et al, 2021;Jantakun and Jantakoon, 2021;Luo, 2021;Staller et al, 2021;Bransen et al, 2022;Raković et al, 2022). This study was found to be inconsistent in the variable of academic self-regulation (The reason for this inconsistency can be because, firstly, the game used in Soltanizadeh and Bazizadeh's research is an intellectual and action style game, and secondly, the statistical population of this research is the city of Isfahan, Iran).…”

“…It was not long before computers became a popular pastime among children, teens, and adults alike. In the early 1990s, the Internet provided a new way of offering games ( Jantakun and Jantakoon, 2021 ). Children and adults were able to play their favorite games online.…”

“…One of the apparent effects of the world is the use of new technologies. In recent decades, traditional learning approaches have undergone fundamental changes ( Sife et al, 2007 ; Jantakun and Jantakoon, 2021 ). Investigation of the factors that influenced the progress, development, and advancement in developing countries indicates that all these countries have capable and efficient education.…”

A Common Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education (AAI-HE Model)

“…AIEd's application is still a hot topic among academics. Artificial intelligence in education (AIED) has opened new avenues for developing more successful learning practices and improved technology-enhanced learning applications or environments (Jantakun & Jantakoon, 2021;Jantakoon et al, 2019). Most scholars and professionals in the fields of computers and education, on the other hand, continue to struggle to implement related practices or programs (Kay, 2012).…”
