#game-based learning

[pendragongames]

Hi! I'm Penny, and I make and play games! I recently graduated with an M.S. in Biology, where my thesis project was on using game-based learning to help freshman level college students learn mitosis. Now that I'm out of grad school, I'm finding it hard to stay motivated. Job searching is demoralizing, especially when what I was doing in grad school (making educational games and teaching college biology) is my dream job, but none of the universities in my area are hiring a lecturer and I'm placebound. So, I'm shifting my accountability a little more externally by sharing what I'm working on as a game developer and what I'm playing as a gamer.

I'm a huge completionist, mainly on Steam. I play a lot of survival crafters, story-driven games, and cozy games, but there's not many games that I can't enjoy. As a developer, I'm most experienced in making text-based adventure narrative games in Twine, but I also want to learn and practice making games in RenPy and GoDot. I want to make more game-based learning tools and regular, not explicitly educational games too. My one completed game, Division Quest, which I made for my thesis, will hopefully be hosted by my alma mater soon and be available to play for free!

I'm going to try to keep master posts for what I'm playing and what I'm making. If I'm successful in that, those will go here.

Learn the 4  Advantages of Game-Based Learning Solutions

[bestcloudcomputingcompany]

Learner Emotions and Game-based Learning

How does game-based learning impact learners’ emotions, motivation and learning outcomes? A study published in 2021 found that learners undergo a range of emotions, both positive (enjoyment, satisfaction, motivation, and engagement) and negative (anxiety, confusion, frustration, and aggression). Emotions related to the subject under study, if any, can also impact the learner’s emotions when engaging with game-based learning.

We believe that the four most important emotions inspired by game-based learning are Satisfaction, Motivation, Social Belonging, and Competitive Anxiety. We delve into these in more detail, below.

Satisfaction

The primary objective of a game, of course, is to boost gamer satisfaction. Gaming formats such as virtual reality games deliver higher levels of satisfaction owing to the greater levels of immersiveness. Learners are more involved and therefore more keen to continue playing.

Through contextual learning — real-world case studies, simulations, and other learning activities that place learning in realistic or real-world contexts — learners’ motivation, attitude, and satisfaction in the game are enhanced. Game-based learning integrates learning materials into gaming scenarios and increases game learning satisfaction. By contextualizing the learning with real-life examples, pleasure and interactivity increase.

Motivation

Extrinsic motivation includes such motivators as rewards, badges, and leaderboards. Extrinsic motivators, however, have lower long-term success. Intrinsic motivation — interest in the game itself — increases game enjoyment, and therefore engagement. Intrinsic motivation is effectively increased through clearly defined goals, feedback mechanisms, assistance tools, and strategies. These tools reduce the learner’s anxiety levels and increase immersion.

Social belonging

Collaboration strategies, in an era where technological advances are taking over every aspect of social life, are effective in enhancing a sense of social belonging. There is an increasing dependence on technological support for collaboration in game-based learning to practice self-regulation and improve social skills. There is a positive correlation between collaborative roleplaying games and a sense of social belonging. This is especially true among learners with social difficulties as they are obliged to participate and engage during team collaboration.

Competitive anxiety

One emotion resulting from game-based learning that can be thought of as a negative outcome is competitive anxiety — that is, anxiety caused by competitiveness or competition. This may inhibit task achievement or have a negative impact on learning performance, engagement, and game enjoyment.

However, when channeled correctly, competitive anxiety is also shown to have a positive correlation with interest — anxiety can be used to trigger the competitive instinct, pushing high achievers to outperform.

The advantage of game-based learning is that, by its very nature, it generates enjoyment and satisfaction. Gamification drives extrinsic motivation, while gameplay drives intrinsic motivation. Satisfaction and motivation together deliver better learning outcomes and higher engagement. At the same time, competitive anxiety should be managed smartly to ensure that the game does not hamper learning outcomes.

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!
