“…This is because game-based media provides visual and audio effects so that abstract mathematical material can be transformed into more concrete. In addition, Amorim et al (2023) state that an interactive learning environment and the application of evidence-based strategies with interesting content in the media are also factors that can improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The games featured in the media can also increase student enthusiasm and motivation so that students are more active in learning activities (Bang et al, 2022;Fajriani et al, 2023;Kyriakides et al, 2016;Qohar et al, 2021;Rofiqoh et al, 2020;Setiawati & Qohar, 2020).…”

Cognitive abilities are very important for students to have because they are related to the thinking process. However, students' cognitive abilities in Indonesia are relatively low, so efforts are needed to develop students' cognitive abilities. Currently, games have become a popular activity for children. Games designed specifically for learning mathematics have the potential to help students understand abstract mathematical material. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review on the use of games-based learning media to support students' cognitive abilities in mathematics learning. The research method used is a systematic literature review. The stages are research question, data selection and extraction, and data analysis. Data was obtained by collecting all articles related to the research topic. Articles are taken from Google Scholar and Springer Link databases. From a total of 1836 articles obtained from the two databases, 15 articles were selected based on quality assessment criteria for analysis. The results of the research are that the use of games-based learning media in mathematics learning has various positive impacts on students' cognitive abilities. Games-based learning media can improve numeracy skills, mathematical communication, mathematical representation, and higher-level thinking. This research can become literature for researchers who will develop games-based learning to support students' cognitive abilities.

“…Using mobile apps in classroom settings is becoming more and more prevalent (Zhang et al, 2015;Ninaus et al, 2017;Harrison and Lee, 2018;Amorim et al, 2023). Furthermore, the interest in utilizing tablets and other mobile devices has grown considerably with increasing technological advances over the last decades (Coovert et al, 2015;Algoufi, 2016).…”

IntroductionSignificant threats to our environment tremendously affect biodiversity and related gains. Particularly wild bees actively contribute by pollinating plants and trees. Their increasing extinction comes with devastating consequences for nutrition and stability of our ecosystem. However, most people lack awareness about those species and their living conditions, preventing them to take on responsibility.MethodsWe introduce an intervention consisting of a mobile app and related project workshops that foster responsibility already at an early stage in life. Drawing on principles from multimedia learning and child-centered design, six gamified levels and accompanying nature-based activities sensitize for the importance of wild bees and their role for a stable and diverse ecosystem. A pilot evaluation across three schools, involving 44 children aged between 9 and 12, included a pre-, post-, and delayed post-test to inspect app usability and learning gains.ResultsMost children perceived the app as intuitive, engaging, and visually appealing, and sustainably benefited from our intervention in terms of retention performance. Teacher interviews following the intervention support the fit with the envisioned target group and the classroom setting.DiscussionTaken together, the obtained evidence emphasizes the benefits of our intervention, even though our sample size was limited due to dropouts. Future extensions might include adaptive instructional design elements to increase observable learning gains.
