“…Most importantly, it shows that integration of traditional games in the elementary schools can provide increased learning outcomes, not just on test scores, but also in children’s interest and engagement, as well as interaction with the teacher and classmates. The practical presentations of the material through the chosen game, enables students to better understand the abstract content and use the knowledge outside of the learning environment, which is a real challenge with GBL [ 11 , 32 ].…”

“…Active engagement of the student following the “learning by doing” theory [ 6 ] with hands-on authentic exercise and tasks, create experiential learning environment that increases the level of students’ achievements [ 7 – 10 ]. Games demonstrate entertainment and commercial potential, but also can be used for “learning by doing” activities providing instructional guidelines, problem solving challenges or practical tests of individual skills [ 3 , 4 , 11 ].…”

“…Different research suggests more integrated approach which focuses on the whole experiential environment [ 29 , 30 ], not just the utilized game, even though the number of studies in this regard is still scarce [ 31 ]. Additionally, even though certain skills, such as problem solving ability increase within a game, the real challenge comes when these skills and learned content have to be used outside of the gaming environment [ 11 , 32 ]. Some studies [ 32 – 35 ] have shown modest to low evidence that gamed learning skills or content can be transferred outside of the GBL environment.…”

This study promotes a novel teaching approach for integration of children’s traditional games in elementary school program. It gives description of six traditional games and their educational prospects, implemented in six learning sessions in five elementary schools in Macedonia, involving 102 students. The comparison of learning achievements between these learning sessions and standard classes revealed increased students’ learning performance on comparable topics. To understand the reason for improvement, we have surveyed students after each session and tested the gathered data set via the development of a structural equation model that examines the relationships between student’s personality traits, motivation and experience with learning outcomes. The findings show that students’ achievements were directly influenced by students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors, as well as perceived experience. Additionally, the integration of traditional games in the elementary school classroom was equally accepted among all students, since their personality traits did not directly influence their experience or learning outcomes. Still, the link between the students’ personality dimensions and motivation revealed that introvert children might have slightly increased motivation and possibility to open up during game-play in such collaborative environments.

“…There are 4 aspects of assessment in developed modules, the first of which is the content feasibility aspect. To maximize the success of learning in learning activities, this module includes exercises to train students to think critically to solve problems (Ruggiero & Green, 2017;Kashani-vahid et al 2017;Iglesias-sarmiento et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2016;Chow et al, 2016).

“…In line with the same approach adopted by Lee, Law and Murphy (2011), it was considered that those who had provided their demographic details to TripAdvisor could be taken as real and genuine, and the reviews about their hotel experiences could be considered authentic. The Excel 2016 Analysis Toolpak and NVivo 11 (Ruggiero and Green 2017) were used to analyze the obtained data, with NVivo specifically used for review coding, generate themes and generate demographic data.…”

Online travel reviews are paramount to trip planning because they help consumers' form images of destinations. Despite ample studies on hotel service attributes, knowledge is scarce regarding culturally nuanced attributes, including security perceptions. This study examines consumers' perceptions of service attributes and security/safety concerns of hotels in Africa. Data were extracted from three hotel categories (3, 4, and 5-stars), which were based on TripAdvisor rankings from Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. A hybrid analysis revealed that hotel service attributes and security/safety are cardinal evaluation criteria for visitors to Africa. Additionally, our study reveals that most negative reviews were from 5-star hotels and Egypt received more positive reviews in all the service attributes than other countries.
