Applying Motivation Theory to the Design of Game-Based Learning Environments

Star, Jon R.; Chen, Jason; Dede, Chris

Pages: 83 –91

[Although there has been a wealth of research exploring motivation within game-based learning environments, few of these studies employ frameworks that are grounded in well-established theories of motivation. This chapter brings a rigorous theoretical framework for motivation to the study and...

Performance in Educational Math Games: Is It a Question of Math Knowledge?

Maertens, Marie; Vandewaetere, Mieke; Cornillie, Frederik; Desmet, Piet

Pages: 117 –131

[In order to develop game-based learning environments (GBLEs) that accommodate to learners’ needs and individual differences, GBLEs can be enriched with learner models that describe learner profiles from which adaptive instruction can be offered during gameplay. Learner models can encompass...

Integration in the Curriculum as a Factor in Math-Game Effectiveness

Vandercruysse, Sylke; Desmet, Elke; Vandewaetere, Mieke; Elen, Jan

Pages: 133 –153

[While numerous claims are made about the effectiveness of games, the studies that examine their educational effectiveness often contain flaws resulting in unclear conclusions. One possible solution for these shortcomings is to focus on separate game elements rather than on games as a whole. A...
