ABSTRACT

Many studies have confirmed that digital game-based learning can effectively improve students’ learning motivation and that properly integrating learning strategies into digital games can effectively improve students’ learning achievement. However, rare research has been considered the long-term effect of learning retention. In the current study, a game-based learning system that integrated a “Prediction-Observation-Explanation” learning strategy was developed to provide learners with appropriate guidance and feedback during the learning process to improve the learning retention. A quasi-experiment was conducted in an elementary school mathematics course to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. The experimental result shows that the proposed approach can significantly improve students’ learning achievement and learning retention. According to the analysis of students’ behavioral pattern, the proposed approach can help students focus on the learning material of the game. Therefore, the proposed approach is a potential and effective way to help students with better long-term learning performance.

摘要

许多研究证实，基于数字游戏的学习可以有效提高学生的学习动机，将学习策略适当融入数字游戏可以有效提高学生的学习成绩。然而，很少有研究考虑学习保留的长期影响。在本研究中，开发了一种基于游戏的学习系统，集成了“预测-观察-解释”学习策略，为学习者在学习过程中提供适当的指导和反馈，以提高学习保留率。在小学数学课程中进行了准实验来评估该方法的有效性。实验结果表明，该方法可以显着提高学生的学习成绩和学习保留率。根据对学生行为模式的分析，所提出的方法可以帮助学生专注于游戏的学习材料。因此，所提出的方法是帮助学生获得更好的长期学习表现的潜在且有效的方法。
