“…The significant learning experience sought by the developers of Dental Case is in line with the literature that highlights the importance of clinically relevant content consistent with learning objectives and clinical practice [14], [40]. This is because its goal is to increase the player's ability to make appropriate decisions, care for the patient in a humanized way, and make the most appropriate and relevant choices of complementary exams, for both the patient and SUS, economically speaking.…”

Background: Games are intrinsic to society and are used to represent a wide variety of human activities. Contemporary society has been digitalized, and the habit of playing games has naturally migrated to the digital environment. The use of digital games in education, where they are known as serious games, has given rise to the introduction of new educational approaches for dental students and dentists, which complement traditional approaches. A brief conceptual outline of games can help broaden our understanding thereof in social and educational contexts. Objective: To report the designing and development of a serious game for decision-making in clinical case management in the field of dentistry, for use as a complementary teaching tool. Method: The method used was a case study to describe the development of the content and narrative of a Brazilian serious game for decision-making in the dental clinic, called Dental Case. A player in Dental Case takes on the role of a dentist during a consultation, with the mission of completing the steps of anamnesis, clinical examination, complementary examination, diagnosis, and treatment. The clinical cases presented in the game were designed to resemble real-life decision-making situations in the dental clinic of a primary healthcare setting. The content developed was reviewed and validated by specialists, from both a technical and pedagogical point of view, and then included in the game software by an information technology (IT) team. Results: Dental Case was developed from a set of clinical cases. The game targets dental professionals and students, and its goal is to lend support to the teaching of decision-making in the different stages of clinical care. The game is freely available on the web, and on the Play Store and Apple Store mobile application platforms. Conclusions: The resources made available by Dental Case constitute a new complementary pedagogical approach, and a tool for the application of educational technologies in dentistry, which can contribute to expanding the scale and reach of educational activities. Future research is warranted to investigate the effectiveness of Dental Case in promoting learning and should include an evaluation of its performance by its users.

“…110 private college psychology graduates (58 male, 52 female) participated in the present study as part of their three hour lab session in negotiation module [8]. Post-informed consent provided, they were first required to complete demographic information concerning gender, residency, age range, working status (public vs private) and registration to vote in elections questions.…”

Gaming for engaged education and training hold an increasingly important collective theme for academics, researchers and software developers worldwide. Claiming no fixed rules for efficacious negotiation, civic and sustainability game-based learning and capacity decisions, this study builds on investigating negotiation/conflict and civic/sustainability-related attitudes and skills surveyed in serious game play university setting. We report on 110 Greek private university graduate students’ negotiation/conflict and civic/sustainability management-associated attributes after gaming when compared with lecture instruction as part of negotiation module in psychology course sessions in the academic year 2019/2020. After gaming, male and female students indicated beneficial civic learning-associated attributes like knowledge of and favorable orientation towards engagement and practice of political activities, nation-wide, community and town-related challenges. Overall, this civic capacity seemed to be facilitated by less impulsive negotiation/conflict and positive civic/sustainability management behaviour in both genders post-gaming. The negotiation/conflict resolution and civic/sustainability management continuum attributes indicated after gaming are discussed together with theoretical and practical implications and avenues for further research regarding serious games negotiation/civic pedagogy and experience.

“…Games are effective teaching and learning aids, particularly in the era of Education 4.0 [7]. In the Introduction to Psychology course at college, a mini-game is used to teach students how to learn actively in order to improve their professional skills [8]. Game-based learning may help students explore their creativity and learning skills [9].…”

The agile scrum methodology for augmented reality development increases project team efficiency. Private campus are frequently confronted with the dilemma of new students with various backgrounds that come not only from vocational high schools but also from high schools. First year students in the informatics study programme come not only from vocational informatics high schools, but also from high schools that specialize in social studies and languages. This is a difficult task in terms of imparting a comprehension of the fundamentals of programming. This study develops augmented reality in order to teach HTML and Javascript. By combining basic principles with gaming, the proposed augmented reality (AR) makes programming interesting. Players must comprehend their programming logic in order to be immersed in a virtual environment by answering coding bug questions. During usability testing, the System Usability Scale (SUS) assesses user happiness and AR knowledge. Participants from various programming backgrounds were tested on their knowledge of programming languages. According to usability research, 59% of people found AR programming languages useful for learning and understanding basic programming languages. AR and Agile Scrum make programming more enjoyable. This study demonstrates how augmented reality can be used to teach programming languages. These findings imply that Agile Scrum and AR methods can improve learning and programming foundations. More research and development could lead to more complete and complicated AR learning environments for programming instruction.
