A Systematic Review of Examples and the Effectiveness of Game-Based Learning Used To Teach History in K-12 Education
Authors: Bjørner Thomas
Published: October 2024

This systematic review is intended to assess the examples and effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) in teaching history in K-12 education. The review also aims to identify gaps in the current GBL literature and provide future research and development guidelines to improve learning outcomes when incorporating GBL in teaching history. This systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, focusing on studies that utilized games to address historical teaching in K-12 education. The PRISMA methodology procedure was followed. A total of 688 studies were initially identified, and after the first screening, 360 studies remained. Twelve studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The systematic review concludes that games used to teach history in K-12 education vary considerably in content, users, contexts, teacher approaches, and technology. Most of the included studies reveal positive motivational factors when GBL is used. However, only very few studies can provide significant results on the learning outcomes. Most evaluations are based on self-reporting, primarily questionnaires and knowledge tests. Specific learning objectives are rarely included in the games. Future studies could include more participants and other methods to measure the learning effectiveness of GBL.

Published: October 2024

The adolescence period is characterized by significant changes in individuals' lives, which can lead to various emotional and behavioural problems. Therefore, it is important for young adults to have tools for self-regulation, understanding, and controlling their physiological symptoms. Integrating these tools as gamified elements into new technologies is a way to engage a younger audience. In recent years, the effectiveness of immersive Virtual Reality has been repeatedly demonstrated in fields such as Psychology and Education. The combination of this technology with biosensors enables individuals to be aware of their real-time physiological states. This physiological monitoring can lead to adaptations in applications based on the individual's emotional state, for example. This work describes the design and development of an immersive Virtual Reality game whose main interaction is through biofeedback. The game is called "Alice, Beyond Reality", and its objective is to help young adults learn to self-regulate their physiological responses. The game draws inspiration from the well-known story of "Alice in Wonderland". In this story, the Queen of Hearts has transformed all the characters into cards, and the players must help them escape before it's too late. To achieve this, the players are guided by the White Rabbit through different levels where interaction through physiology is key. For instance, the players must learn to increase and decrease their heart rate to solve puzzles that allow them to progress to the next level. Throughout the game, gamification elements such as points, progressive difficulty, and various challenges are included to motivate the players to continue advancing in the game. Through the biofeedback system, the players become aware of their physiological changes to control them voluntarily. In the final screen, the players are shown their progression throughout the game so they can recognize their evolution. In the near future, an initial validation with users will be conducted to assess the usability and functionality of the game.

Published: October 2024

Narrative-based serious games are accessible, engaging technologies that connect users’ lived experiences to pedagogy. Despite having patient-centered goals, most narrative-based serious games are not designed alongside patients and communities, limiting their likelihood of acceptance, uptake, and impact. Literature reveals that many serious games intended for patients merely evaluate efficacy with end-users after game deployment and with a lack of consistent participatory design. This work aims to describe a patient-centered participatory approach to game development to teach self-advocacy skills to patients newly diagnosed with cancer. First, characters were developed based on panels that included patient advocates, cancer survivors, clinicians, and researchers. Second, storyline development created realistic story arcs, decision-points, and consequences based on qualitative interviews with patients, patient advocates, and cancer survivors. Third, game evaluation metrics (e.g., 1st vs. 3rd person perspective, game fail states that incentivize replaying the game, and provision of implicit or explicit feedback) were developed based on accessibility, usability, and patient preferences. Based on patients’ insights, we implemented changes accordingly to maximize the game’s efficacy and collected qualitative data on patients’ assessment of the game’s accessibility, relevance, and impact. During initial game development, patient and advocate feedback built relatable characters with a particular focus on providing sensitive information (e.g., palliative care) and inclusive storylines (e.g., diverse family situations). Following a prototype, patients and advocates suggested refinements to characters and additional storylines, including common and/or distressing experiences related to pain management, family dynamics, financial struggles, and disrespect from healthcare providers. Participants in a randomized trial of the game (N=34) found the scenarios relevant and realistic. Patients reported increased comfort speaking up, seeking support, and interacting with their families and healthcare team after playing the game. Our process demonstrates the essential role patients can inhabit in the development of narrative serious games, particularly in how patient input permeated every aspect of Strong Together's development, from initial design to evaluation. Such integration allows for adjustments to address patient concerns and refine patient-relevant metrics.

Published: October 2024

9.5 per cent of people aged between 15 and 29 in Norway are ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) (Statistisk sentralbyrå, 2022). NEET status is generally associated with several negative factors, such as lack of social mobility, poverty, negative socioeconomic status and persistent exclusion from education and work life (Wrigley, 2017). Work exclusion represents a significant challenge on both a macroeconomic level and for the individuals who experience work exclusion. The perspective of computer games as learning tools has resulted in an increased interest in how games can generate positive changes in the player (Gee, 2007; McGonigal, 2012). From the perspective of career guidance, it is central to look at whether the positive changes and the learning such change implies can be used to develop career competencies and skills that are attractive for the world of work. This paper reports on a project to develop, conduct, study and evaluate an occupational training program for 15 young gamers between the ages of 18 and 30 classified as NEET. The research question for the project is how participants in a work preparation course experience computer gaming as an arena for developing career competencies and skills and how these skills and competencies may contribute to the participants’ employability

Computational Thinking (CT) refers to a specific set of mental skills used to formulate solutions to problems by converting given inputs to produce appropriate outputs while following detailed algorithms to perform this process. Essentially, CT is broadly defined as a combination of thinking processes which include abstraction, algorithm design, decomposition, pattern recognition and data representation.
Board-games can be used in the educational process as a learning tool while creating an attractive and authentic learning environment, providing an educational approach which is transdisciplinary, developing and utilizing multiple skills. Using board-games in Early Childhood Education (ECE) cultivates students' social skills, 21st century skills and cognitive skills, while helping them to increase their motivation and achieve the objectives of the curriculum framework.
In this paper, the aforementioned areas are combined through the presentation of a board-game that was designed within the CThink.it Erasmus+ project (2022-1-MT01-KA220-SCH-000086903) for cultivating CT competency in the early years. The backstory is a toy, lost in a museum and through a series of activities, it is to be returned to the child-owner. Prior to designing the game, a systematic literature review was conducted so as to provide foundation for the game itself and a set of associated lesson plans.
The produced materials were pilot tested in schools. The paper aims to provide preliminary data for the game evaluation, focusing on the issues of playability, age appropriateness, connection to curricula and the teachers’ perspective on the usability of the game as teaching resource for ECE. For that, the research methodology will be presented, along with preliminary findings.
WeAreEurope SD – A playful Sustainable Development Education Approach for Primary School Level
Authors: Bratitsis Tharrenos , Meireles Gonçalo , Koliakou Iro
Published: October 2024

Sustainable Development (SD) has been in the EU’s political Agenda for the past decades. In 2001, the EU established a SD Strategy and more recently contributed to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for SD, reaffirming the political importance it attributes to this pressing matter. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays a vital role in pushing forward the Agenda for SD. The WAE-SD project  has been designed so as to offer a variety of complementary learning solutions that use active learning, game-based learning, and storytelling, among others. These solutions have the potential to engage children, address more complex concepts in a comprehensive manner, contribute to the development of other XXI century and basic competencies, like literacy, teamwork, social competences, ICT skills, among others. The WAE-SD project addresses the educational needs of children (6-10 years old) at 3 levels: a) Envision the future: depict what might happen if we don’t change our lifestyles, so that they better understand what’s at stake, b) What needs to change: learn about the UN’s SD Goals, so that they better understand what should be addressed/emended to create a more sustainable world, and c) Call to Action: learn what we can do as individuals and as part of a community to reach the UN’s SD Goals, and act. To this purpose, the project delivers three results: a) an eBook to illustrate a future scenario for the Planet if we keep up with our lifestyle, b) A Game Add-on to the pre-existing WeAreEurope Digital Game, to introduce and explore the UN’s SD Goals, thus presenting children with what needs to be changed for a more sustainable Planet, and c) an Action Kit, consisting of guidelines for the implementation of SD projects/activities for schools and other settings, thus promoting real change in behaviours and attitudes. This paper focuses on the designed material and the proposed ways of utilizing them in classroom settings

Published: October 2024

Vertical integration is important to know to see whether changes in rice prices in the reference market (consumers) are followed by changes in rice prices in the follower market (producers) which will have an impact on the effectiveness of the Government's policies in stabilizing rice prices. This study aims to determine the price variation and vertical integration of local and superior rice markets in South Kalimantan Province. This study uses local and superior rice price data at the producer (milling) and consumer (retailer) levels from January 2014 to March 2024. The data used was sourced from the Central Statistics Agency and the South Kalimantan Provincial Agriculture and Food Security Office. The Coefficient of Variation is used to see price variations in local and superior rice. VAR/VECM analysis is used to identify vertical integration relationships between local and superior rice markets at the producer and consumer levels. The results of the study show that the highest coefficient of variation in local and superior rice prices occurred in the year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The coefficient of variation in local rice prices of producers was highest in 2020 and 2022 at 10.96% and 15.68%. The coefficient of variation in the price of superior rice for the highest producers in 2022 and 2023 is 16.23% and 12.48%. The results of the study also show that there is a vertical integration of a long-term equilibrium relationship between the consumer and producer of local and superior rice market. In the integration of the long-term equilibrium relationship, when the price of local and superior rice at the consumer level increases, the price of local and superior rice at the producer level also increases. The vertical integration of the short-term equilibrium relationship in the local rice market is full integration because both the consumer and producer markets influence each other but in opposite directions of price transmission. If prices in the consumer market rise, prices in the producer market will fall. The vertical integration of the short-term equilibrium relationship in the superior rice market is not complete because the producer market affects the consumer market but the consumer market does not significantly affect the producer market.

The operation of road transport implies not only the transportation of goods and passengers, but also the maintenance of the car itself. When operating road transport at low temperatures, the risk of failure of the main units increases. The most expensive unit is the internal combustion engine, which experiences a tremendous load during the cold start period. This load depends on the viscosity of the engine oil, which, in turn, is directly dependent on temperature. The greatest danger from the point of view of engine operation without lubrication is the period of engine operation after start-up. In order to increase the viscosity of the oil, improve the starting quality of the engine and reduce starting wear, it is necessary to use engine preheating. The purpose of this work is to identify the temperature or temperature range at which it is possible to “safely” start the engine with pre-start preparation at low temperatures. The temperature range depends on the operating conditions of the vehicles, the methods of pre-start preparation of the engine, which in turn affects the time of pre-start preparation. The paper reveals the temperature range for starting an internal combustion engine at low temperatures with the least wear of rubbing parts and minimal pre-launch costs; the recommended engine oil temperatures before starting internal combustion engines are given.
FEATURES OF THE MECHANISM OF PHAGOCYTOSIS OF FUNGI OF THE GENUS CANDIDA, ASPERGILLUS AND MUCOR IN VITRO AND IN VIVO

The aim of this work was to study the dynamics of phagocytosis of microscopic fungi C. albicans, A. fumigatus, and M. racemosus. The studies were carried out according to the generally accepted method using cultures of pathogens of visceral mycoses (C. albicans st. No. 253, A. fumigatus st. No. 6 and M. racemosus st. No. 195). In the heparinized blood of adult rabbits and calves 5-7 days old, 1-2 drops of a suspension of fungi were added at a concentration of 1x109 spores/cm3, excluding mycelium (pseudomycelium) per 1.0 ml of blood. The tubes were placed in a thermostat with a temperature of 370C. Blood smears were stained according to Romanovsky-Giemsa and examined under a microscope at different time intervals (2-5-10-20-30-60 min). Separate fragments of Aspergillus phagocytosis were studied in a native preparation (hanging drop). For this, a leukocyte mixture was obtained from the blood with the addition of Turk's liquid. It has been established that the presence of neutrophilic leukocytes and macrophages, which phagocytized only small fragments of fungi (conidia, blastospores), is important in the mechanism of phagocytosis of microscopic fungi C. albicans, A. fumigatus and M. racemosus. The hyphae of these fungi destroyed Langhans cells. Studies of immunocellular reactions in calves with visceral mycoses have shown that the destruction of fungi that have penetrated into their body proceeds with a certain pattern. Initially, fungal hyphae are covered with platelets, the function of phagocytes is taken over by neutrophilic leukocytes and macrophages, which “swallow” small fragments of fungi. They also try to phagocytize the hyphae of fungi, but due to their large size they fail to do this, and they are rejected. Then, lymphoid cells are involved in the process of phagocytosis, which lyse fungal hyphae with the help of enzymes (proteolytic, etc.). At the same time, the fungus is destroyed into fragments of different sizes, of which small ones are phagocytosed by neutrophilic leukocytes and macrophages, and large ones are phagocytosed by Langhans giant cells. It has been established that the generally accepted concept of "phagocytosis" is not entirely acceptable to fungi that cause visceral mycoses, since aspergillus, mucor and candida are destroyed not only and not so much by the phagocytic cells themselves, but are mainly lysed due to enzymes secreted by lymphocytes.

Involving nurses in research and quality improvement is desirable because nurses are often aware of weaknesses in care or organizational processes. In participatory action research (PAR), practitioners are encouraged to identify problems they encounter and, together with the researcher, develop strategies to solve these problems. This study aimed to evaluate the process of involving nurses in PAR, as well as learn what hampers and facilitates collaboration between the nursing team and the researcher and facilitator. Data collected during a 2.5-year PAR process with a nursing team (15–18 participants) on a geriatric rehabilitation ward was deductively analyzed using seven quality criteria (collaboration, prudent handling of assumptions, accountability, participation, reflection, knowledge sources, and transparency). This study describes how reflection and collective learning as core processes of PAR were facilitated using complementary knowledge sources (theoretical models, knowledge based on practical experiences, and results of empirical research collected during the PAR). The study uncovered that providing the time and setting for reflection and collective learning enables a nursing team to be actively involved in PAR: it helps them diagnose their current practice, plan ahead, and critically experiment with actions. Additionally, a positive learning climate is a prerequisite for this process. However, without a strong link between quality policy and consequent facilitation of participation through earmarked time, these efforts might not lead to sustainable changes. A more permanent link between PAR initiatives and organizational ambitions regarding quality of care is recommended.

Mercury is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants due to its high toxicity to animals and humans. The aim of the study was to determine the presence or absence of seasonal changes in the mercury level in small mammals in forest ecosystems near the Cherepovets town. The fur, organs and tissues of the common shrew (Sorex araneus Linnaeus, 1758) and Ural field mouse (Apodemus uralensis Pallas, 1811) were examinied during September 2020–August 2021. The content of total mercury (THg) in dried samples (n = 319) was determined on a PA-915+ mercury analyzer with a PYRO console by cold vapor atomic absorption. The content of THg in the Ural field mouse varies from <0.001 (sensitivity limit of the device) in the kidneys, spleen, brain, muscles, and liver up to 0.560 mg/kg dry weight in the spleen; the average maximum THg value was found in the spleen (0.179±0.072 mg/kg) and the minimum was in the muscles (0.023±0.011 mg/kg). The content of THg in the common shrew varies from <0.001 (sensitivity limit of the device) in the brain up to 4.570 mg/kg dry weight in the fur, the average maximum THg value was found in the fur (0.754±0.152 mg/kg), and the average minimum was in the liver (0.112±0.013 mg/kg). It was established that the level of THg in common shrews was higher in winter than in summer, statistically significant differences were found for the fur, muscles, and liver (p = 0.008, 0.001, 0.033, respectively, at p < 0.05). An interspecies comparison showed differences in seasonal changes in the THg content, namely: in autumn it was higher in the common shrew than in the Ural field mouse; statistically significant differences were found for the fur, kidneys, and muscles (p = 0.005, 0.046, 0.001, respectively, at p < 0.05).

A műfordítás kihívása: az irodalmi többnyelvűség explicit formái : Nyelvi perspektívaváltás, újraírás és fordítás összefüggései
Authors: Vincze Ferenc
Published: October 2024

A tanulmány a többnyelvűség megjelenéseit vizsgálja Claudia M. Florian németül, románul és magyarul megjelent regényében. Az irodalmi többnyelvűség reprezentációinak funkciói egyrészről hozzájárulnak a regény figuráinak identitáskonstrukciójához, továbbá lényeges szerepet játszanak a regionális identitás kialakításában, továbbá az adott régió jellemzésében. Az explicit irodalmi többnyelvűség funkciói mellett a tanulmány a fordítás során fellépő problémákat állítja előtérbe, hiszen amennyiben a szöveget egy olyan nyelvre fordítják le, mely az eredetiben a másik, az idegen nyelv szerepében jelent meg, megváltozik a szöveg nyelvi perspektívája. Ez a változás a fordítás során rámutat a többnyelvűség poétikai szerepére, identitáskonstruáló szerepére, továbbá azok a fordítás folyamatában fellépő nehézségek kerülnek előtérbe, melyeket az irodalmi többnyelvűség explicit megjelenítései okoznak.
