“…Motivation is considered a central factor in the majority of reviewed studies (Felicia, 2011;Ljungkvist & Mozelius, 2012;von Wangenheim et al, 2012;Bellotti et al, 2013;Hannig et al, 2013;Ahmad et al, 2013;Pløhn, 2013;Denholm et al, 2012;Dzeng et al, 2014;Lancaster, 2014;Ariffin et al, 2014;Bolliger et al, 2015;Cózar-Gutiérrez, & Sáez-López, 2016;Dankbaar et al, 2016;Fu et al, 2016). Some results suggest the effectiveness of GBL in motivating and achieving learning goals can be found at the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy (e.g.…”

The focus of higher education institutions is the preparation of future professionals. To achieve this aim, innovative teaching methods are often deployed, including games and simulations, which form the subject of this paper. As the field of digital games and simulations is ever maturing, this paper attempts to systematically review the literature relevant to games and simulation pedagogy in higher education. Two researchers collaborate to apply a qualitative method, coding and synthesizing the results using multiple criteria. The main objective is to study the impact of games and simulations with regard to achieving specific learning objectives. On balance, results indicate that games and/or simulations have a positive impact on learning goals. The researchers identify three learning outcomes when integrating games into the learning process: cognitive, behavioural, and affective. As a final step, the authors consolidate evidence for the benefit of academics and practitioners in higher education interested in the efficient use of games and simulations for pedagogical purposes. Such evidence also provides potential options and pathways for future research.

“…In an ideal educational computer game, the student would learn through simply playing a game within a virtual simulation which involves the interplay of roles and platforms [3]. Ariffin [2] notes that it is important to understand the users of such systems, i.e. the respondents, because the learning performance through computer games is affected by elements such as culture, primary language, ethnicity and an intrinsic motivation to learn new concepts and skills.…”

The paper examines literature on the subject of instructional design and game based learning with the aim of identifying its positive effects and impact on users. Special attention was given to learning, encouragement and development of skills acquired through the use of game based learning. Game based learning is considered to be a complex system that requires instructional support geared towards stimulating cognitive processes. Several empirical research papers which provide insight into this field of interest have been chosen. The second set of papers provides confirmation accompanied with an analysis of instructional support as a function of the learning support. Also included were recent works which indicated the need for further research and the heterogeneity of the existing research. Other works complemented the unit and are mutually interconnected by a methodological approach providing insight into the issues that should be investigated in the future.

Pemanfaatan game saat ini telah merambah ke berbagai bidang, salah satunya adalah bidang edukasi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis pengaruh game edukasi pada kemampuan menguasai kosakata bahasa asing, dengan studi kasus bahasa Arab. Game edukasi tersebut menggunakan perangkat bergerak dan salah satunya menggunakan teknologi realitas virtual dengan kakas Google Cardboard. Game edukasi diujikan pada pengguna berusia 10-15 tahun dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, berdasarkan teknologi yang digunakan dan genre game. Pengguna melakukan pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur kemampuan mereka sebelum dan sesudah mengujikan game. Hasil pengujian tersebut dianalisis dengan metode uji hipotesis ANOVA. Dari kedua kelompok tersebut didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa perbedaan teknologi tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kemampuan pengguna. Pada kelompok kedua, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa faktor jenis game, faktor jenis kelamin pengguna, dan gabungan kedua faktor tersebut tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap perubahan kemampuan pengguna dalam menguasai perbendaharaan kosakata Bahasa Arab.
