The purpose of this study is to analyze the teacher's perception about educational use of a game as a supportive method for teaching and learning process in the educational context. The result will be used as a good index to spread the game-based learning in the future. We have derived the following results through the investigation. Firstly, teachers have some limitation to get the topics and contents for game-based learning curriculum. Secondly, they were frequently required to design and arrange their teaching process by the level of learner's ability in the game-based learning. Thirdly, public institution has to supply various information and guideline for teachers to use the game-based learning. Finally, they demand systematic approach and executive and financial support to encourage the game-based learning.

Perceived game realism (PGR) has recently emerged as a key concept in explaining the mental processing of digital game playing and the societal impact of digital games. However, few studies have examined its conceptualization and educational effects from an empirical viewpoint, especially in educational games. This study's participants included 292 university students in South Korea. A total of 212 questionnaires were valid and used for the analyses. They learned English expressions using a computer-based educational game and then completed questionnaires on the research variables. We investigated six factors of PGR: simulational realism (SIR), freedom of choice (FRC), perceptual pervasiveness (PEP), social realism (SOR), authenticity (AUT), and character involvement (CAI). We expected the factors to have valid effects on the university students' flow and learning satisfaction after a game-based learning (GBL) experience. Our research results demonstrated a causal relationship between SIR, FRC, CAI, and learning satisfaction. Furthermore, the indirect effects of SIR and CAI on learning satisfaction through flow were statistically significant.

Recently, there is an increasing interest in game based learning as a teaching method for digital native learners. This study set kinect game contributes to engaged learning as the competition and cooperation play (achievement goals, interaction), the digital game play (multisensory stimulation, fantasy and curiosity, chance, accurate feedback, control), and the body movement play (embodied cognition, presence). After performing classes using the motion recognition game developed for the elementary school history class, this study conducted semi structured interviews based on engaged learning elements of kinect game based learning for students who were successfully participating in learning. In the result, each element appeared to a successful learner. Based on these results, this study hopes to assist researchers as a basic evidence to introduce kinect game-based learning for engaged learning.

Teaching and learning are one of the major issues during this pandemic (COVID-19). Since the pandemic started, there are many changes in teaching and learning styles as everything related to studies started online. Game-Based Learning has got remarkable importance in the educational system and pedagogy as an effective way of increasing student inspiration and engagement. In this field, most of the work has been carried out in digital games. This research uses an Animated Game-Based Learning design in enhancing student engagement and perception of learning. In teaching Computer Science (CS) concepts in higher education, to enhance the pedagogy activities in CS concepts, more specifically the concepts of "Data Structures (DS)" i.e., Array, Stack, and Queue concepts are focused. This study aims to observe the difference in students' learning with the use of different learning methods i.e., the traditional learning (TL) method and the Animated Game-Based Learning (AGBL) Method. The experimental results show that learning DS concepts has been improved by the AGBL method as compared to the TL method.

The social interest for collaborative learning and educational game has been increased. In this paper, we investigates the educational value of collaborative learning and game. Based on this investigation, we propose an educational on-line game model for collaborative learning. Although the proposed model is still conceptual design, it sufficiently shows that on-line RPG game can be a good collaborative learning method for young children. In detail, we speculate about the conventional educational method performed in normal school. And then, we describes the elements of a computer game which complies with the real collaborative learning program.

This article aims to present an effective and systematic learning methodology of game curriculum which is oriented convergence education. In particular, I will present the 4PBL model reflecting the trend of the changing times from teacher-centered learning to learner-centered learning environment. The 4PBL model consists of Personal based Learning, Problem based Learning, Project based learning and Performance based Learning. In this article, I will explain the concepts and characteristics of PBLs at each stage by providing concrete examples of game education courses. Such an attempt may have a meaningful value in that it can suggest a learning environment in which knowledge can be structured subjectively in a changing educational paradigm.

SCORM is an implementation reference model and also a de-facto standard technology designed for developing e-learning contents and systems effectively. For recent years, as many researchers have been more interested than ever in game based learning, ADL as a SCORM developer, has initiated a basic research on game based learning. However, the game based learning research of ADL has been performed conceptually as well as separately from SCORM so that it lacks in efforts for developing a game based learning SCORM content by incorporating concrete game data into SCORM data model. In this paper, we first present a method for applying game data elements to SCORM data Model, and then illustrate a game based learning SCORM content developed by our method.

The effect on creative problem solving ability and learning flow is analyzed by applying game-based learning using sandbox game, Minecraft Edu for elementary school students. It appeared to be effective when applied to sand box utilizing game-based learning than traditional lecture teaching method on creative problem solving ability and learning flow. It is found to be a significant difference observed in all sub-elements on Creative problem solving ability and it is found to be a significant difference in all sub-elements on learning flow except sense of control and transformation of time.

This study examined the effects of simulation game-based learning on academic emotions (positive, negative) and achievement (factual, conceptual, procedural knowledge acquisition). Sixty-three students from a high school located in South Korea were chosen for the study. The students were assigned to either an experimental group for simulation game-based learning or a comparison group for instructor-led lectures. The results demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the comparison and experimental groups in both positive and negative academic emotions. However, there was no significant difference in factual, conceptual and procedural knowledge acquisition. The results indicate that simulation game-based learning generates more positive emotions than instructor-led lectures.

This paper proposes object-oriented learning method of using reverse-engineering based on game development environment. The game has advantages such as interest and enjoyment. Also, the reverse analysis of game help us understand the technique to be used in game. Through this process, we introduce learning method enabling us to actively understand object-oriented concept. Thus, the proposed method describes case learning based on XNA game development environment, and presents a scenario according to role of teacher and learner.
