Abstract

The authors discusses an innovative approach to building and developing mathematical ability and economic acumen through the Math Wonderland application. It also demonstrates how gamification and interactive methods help to increase students' motivation and make the process of applying mathematics more fun and effective, showing how close the links between mathematics and economics are. The game was developed by the authors of the study using Blender and Unity tools. These modern tools and technologies make it possible to animate all the tasks offered in the game for the development of logic, wit, memory and spatial thinking. And well thought-out adaptability and individualization of difficulty levels allow the game to be used by children with different degrees of mathematical skills (the target audience is children aged 5 years and older). The results of testing the game in schools confirm its effectiveness in teaching math, developing critical thinking and economic literacy.

Abstract

The current paper is a review of the monograph by Czech computer games researcher Jaroslav Švelch “Player vs. Monster. The Making and Breaking of Videogame Monstrosity” (2023). Švelch's work is dedicated to the figure of the monster in the gaming industry. The first chapter examines different theoretical approaches to the monstrosity. The second chapter touches on the classic gaming concept: “Player vs. Environment”. The third chapter analyzes “monster realism” as a special form of visuality. The fourth chapter of the monograph is devoted to new trends in game designers’ attitudes towards the monstrous: the manifestation of sympathy for monsters, the formlessness and incorporeality of monsters.

Abstract

Learning computer science (CS) is increasingly becoming a necessary component of K-12 education, but in most cases, teachers do not have either the essential knowledge to teach or a curriculum to follow. In this article, we analyze the outcomes from a yearlong, blended professional development (PD) program to teach teachers game design and coding skills, and we codevelop a middle school curriculum. Using a mixed-methods design, this study presents the findings as we investigate how teachers experienced the PD program. Our findings show that the teachers' level of engagement differed for various reasons, such as challenges related to time, motivation, and interest. We identified a high-engagement group who developed a deep understanding of coding knowledge and engaged in the PD activities more. We also identified a low-engagement group who failed to attend most activities despite mentioning generic interests. We provide an explanation why these teachers might have varied in terms of their engagement and offer how 'data' can be used to predict engagement levels and as a diagnostic tool (e.g., lacked specificity in explaining CS concepts in reflections). We recommend adding motivational strategies and better tracking and monitoring mechanisms for better engagement and PD design considerations for online and blended learning for teachers., Introduction Even though there are new and systematic reform efforts to promote computer science (CS) across all levels in K-12 education (e.g., Australian Curriculum, Assessment, and Reporting Authority, 2015; Bell [...]

9. Modulating the Gameplay Challenge Through Simple Visual Computing Elements: A Cube Puzzle Case Study.

Subjects
PUZZLES, RESEARCH personnel, GAMES
Abstract

Positive player's experiences greatly rely on a balanced gameplay where the game difficulty is related to player's skill. Towards this goal, the gameplay can be modulated to make it easier or harder. In this work, a modulating mechanism based on visual computing is explored. The main hypothesis is that simple visual modifications of some elements in the game can have a significant impact on the game experience. This concept, which is essentially unexplored in the literature, has been experimentally tested with a web-based cube puzzle game where participants played either the original game or the visually modified game. The analysis is based on players' behavior, performance, and replies to a questionnaire upon game completion. The results provide evidence on the effectiveness of visual computing on gameplay modulation. We believe the findings are relevant to game researchers and developers because they highlight how a core gameplay can be easily modified with relatively simple ingredients, at least for some game genres. Interestingly, the insights gained from this study also open the door to automate the game adaptation based on observed player's interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
