“…And from this research also found other advantages of educational games, such as, an educational games are also very useful for improving children's logic, children creativity and understanding problem, so based on that result research, it can be concluded that educational games can support the educational process [11], [12]. One of the advantages of educational games compared to conventional learning is that there are animations in educational games that can improve memory so that children can store subject matter for a longer time compared to conventional learning [13] [14]. Also based on Gouveia research, using educational games as a learning media can improve children's learning productivity, because children can more easly understanding of learning material from different teaching methods [15]- [17].…”

This research is a continuation of previous research to find out why early childhood children are not too interested to playing educational games than entertainment games, even though both are games, why the children more prefer to play entertainment games? Even though, if the children love to play educational games, there are many benefits they will get, such as new knowledge, productivity and many other benefits. This research aims to determine the level of user acceptance of educational games that build with adding some common elements of entertainment games. This research methodology begins with questions and answers, surveys and interviews to parents who have early childhood aged 5 to 8 years, with the aim of obtaining information, what are entertainment games are favored by children, then, in this research step, the research will continue with the analysis, design and creating education game that applies elements of entertainment games, such as character elements, animation, praise sound and also an attractive colorful user interface to determine the level of user acceptance of the education game application that was built with the addition of entertainment game elements. After creating an education game application with the addition of game entertainment elements, and after testing user acceptance, it was found that the education game with the addition of several entertainment game elements has not been able to attract early childhood to continue playing education games, this is shown from the average result of the questionnaire is only 57.6%, which indicates that there is a need for a significant increase from the education games that have been made.

“…G AME-BASED learning (GBL) describes how gaming principles are incorporated into educational content to foster engagement, motivation, and the learning experience [7]- [10]. Studies show that GBL interventions can enhance learning for children with dyslexia [13]- [15]. In all, 10% of the population in literate countries are dyslexic, with 4% classified as severely dyslexic [17], [18].…”

“…However, reading and writing abilities can be improved through the use of compensation strategies, e.g., auditory therapies, language interventions, and educational supports [38], [39]. Studies also show that educational games can benefit children with dyslexia by promoting engagement and enhancing the learning process [4], [13]- [15], [34], [40], [41]. However, despite such interventions, completely successful dyslexia remediation has not been fully achieved to date [42].…”

“…Studies show that GBL is one of a number of tools that can be used to enhance the learning process of children with dyslexia especially within the context of story, rewards, clear game goals, and objectives and feedback [15]. Furthermore, the incorporation of task-related activities in GBL assists in attention control in children with dyslexia [52].…”

Studies show that reduced literacy skills can negatively influence a child's self-esteem and future career opportunities. Literacy is significantly affected when problems exist in understanding the phonological component or sound structure of language, i.e., phonological awareness. Children with dyslexia in particular experience difficulties in spelling and reading accuracy due to a deficit in this phonological component of language. To support children with dyslexia and reduced literacy skills, intervention programs that focus on phonological awareness elements are recommended. Studies show that game-based learning interventions can enhance learning for children with dyslexia. The purpose of this pilot study was to partner with children with dyslexia aged between 9 and 12 years, to develop a game toolkit called Cosmic Sounds, and to support the teaching of phonological awareness skills. The content for the Cosmic Sounds games was informed by a pedagogical expert in dyslexia. This pilot study addressed the following: "Can a toolkit of games, codesigned by children with dyslexia improve the teaching of phonological awareness skills?" Our findings showed that by including children and their teacher as part of the design team, they were more invested in using the games for learning. Furthermore, when children with dyslexia played Cosmic Sounds, there was a positive impact on their phonological awareness skills progress while their engagement in learning also increased.

“…However, these strategies mainly focus on providing reading materials rather than providing an environment that promotes reading activities and improves reading motivation. Incorporating digital games might be a good strategy because digital games have been shown to not only increase students' reading motivation (Li & Chu, 2021), but also to improve their reading skills (Rakimahwati & Roza, 2020) and reading performance (Bigueras et al, 2020).…”

Background: Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has been shown to be an effective strategy for promoting learning motivation. However, a lack of attention has been paid to investigating the effects of individual differences on elementary students' reading motivation and in-gaming achievements in DGBL.Objectives: This study developed an educational mobile game to facilitate learners' reading activities, and investigated how prior knowledge and gaming experience affected learners' reading motivation, gaming motivation, perceptions and in-game achievements.Methods: A total of 53 third to fifth grade elementary school students participated in this study, and were divided into the high prior knowledge (HPK)/low prior knowledge (LPK) and the high gaming experience (HGE)/low gaming experience (LGE) groups.Results and Conclusions: The HPK learners had higher reading motivation, perceptions, gaming and social achievements than the LPK learners, whereas they had similar gaming motivation and reading achievements. In addition, the HGE learners had lower reading motivation, reading and gaming achievements than the LGE learners, whereas they had similar gaming motivation, perceptions and social achievements. Moreover, correlational results showed that similarities and differences were observed between the HPK/LPK and HGE/LGE learners. Implications:The findings of this study suggest that learners' prior knowledge and gaming experience play influential roles in reading motivation, gaming motivation, perceptions and in-game achievements. A framework is proposed for researchers or game designers to develop personalized DGBL systems to accommodate the HPK/LPK and HGE/LGE learners' individual needs or preferences in DGBL.
