“…A sample of 44 students was interviewed, and it was concluded that the students positively reacted to the game and were positively motivated. Leach & Sugarman (2005) also demonstrated the positive influence of jeopardy-style educational games on the library instruction and motivation. They developed the game at Georgia State University.…”

“…Though the authors selected to use online, digital games for the research at hand, a brief review of the use of non-digital games will help provide additional context on game-based learning in academic libraries. Leach and Sugarman (2005) note that the success of a library instruction game is dependent upon several factors, including the type of game played, the incorporation of learning outcomes, and the instructor's flexibility. The authors present best practices for designing games using their activity based on the quiz-show Jeopardy!…”

AbstractObjective -To determine whether playing library-related online games during information literacy instruction sessions improves student performance on questionnaires pertaining to selected research practices: identifying citation types and keyword and synonym development.Methods -86 students in seven introductory English composition classes at a large urban university in the northeastern United States served as participants. Each class visited the library for library instruction twice during a given semester. In the experimental group students received information literacy instruction that incorporated two online games, and the control group received the same lesson plan with the exception of a lecture in place of playing games. A sixitem pre-and posttest questionnaire was developed and administered at the outset and conclusion of the two-session classes. The 172 individual tests were coded, graded, and analyzed using SPSS. Evidence Based Library and Information Practice 2015, 10.1 21Results -A paired sample t-test comparing the control and experimental groups determined that that there was a statistically significant difference between scores on pre-tests and post-tests in the experimental group but not the control group.Conclusion -Students who played the online games improved significantly more from pre-test to post-test than students who received a lecture in lieu of playing online games, suggesting that participating in games related to the instruction they received resulted in an improved ability to select appropriate keywords and ascertain citation formats. These findings contribute to the evidence that online games concerning two frequently challenging research practices can be successfully applied to library instruction sessions to improve student comprehension of such skills.

“…A number of scholars agree that using games in educational settings has positive impacts on student learning and motivation [8], [10], [19] which makes students more interested and involved in the process of learning. Motivation in the learning process can be guided internally or externally.…”

Abstract-The new paradigm in education requires new attitudes and approaches to teaching and learning practices. There is a need for more interactive technologies which will put learners in the centre of attention. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of gaming on the learning process as well as learning outcomes in business education. Students are put in a simulated business environment through a real-time business game specially designed to help develop competences relevant to the world of work. The game is based on imitation of the future business processes of manufacturing bulldozers and supply chain management in a manufacturing company.Analysis of students' opinions in the form of interviews is carried out. Participants find the game challenging and exciting, Analysis of students' opinions reveals their increased motivation and involvement.The game helps develop business-related as well as entrepreneurial competences (goal setting, decision making, teamwork etc.) relevant to the world of work. Some disadvantages of the game are also revealed.
