“…While game design can be an attractive educational subject on its own [7], there is much more interest in applying games to teaching various subjects with the aim of improving learning effectiveness [8][9][10]. There are numerous examples of the successful application of different types of games (board games [11], card games [12], role-playing games [13], video games [14], and mobile games [15]) at various levels of education (beginning with preschool [16], through primary [17], secondary [18], and higher [19], ending with adult education [20]).…”

With increasing awareness of the advantages of game-based learning, there is a growing number of studies showing its application to both computer science education and sustainable development education. In this paper, we describe, with the example of the Eco JSity application, how both of these areas can be combined into a single tool. The presented evaluation results showed that despite incorporating the sustainable development topics into both the theme and mechanics of the educational game, both the usefulness and ease-of-use of the application were still assessed positively by students. We also identified three clusters of students depending on their attitude towards combining education on computer science and sustainable development. We concluded that game-based learning provided a capable means of incorporating sustainable development topics into teaching of unrelated technical skills.
