Understanding the Language of Game Studies: Beyond the Dichotomy of "game" and "play" (Broacasting our studies)

Evaluating the learning efficiency of escape games: a case study in high school (Broacasting our studies)
Lately, many teachers have shown interest in using escape games with their students. However, few studies have been conducted to assess their learning efficiency compared to other teaching methods. To address this issue, we conducted an experiment to evaluate the learning efficiency of an escape game designed to transmit geology knowledge to high school students. The experimental group (71 students) has been exposed to new information through an escape game. The control group (71 students [...]Keywords : escape game
"Distance" Hypothesis applied to robot-pedagogy for children in kindergarten (Broacasting our studies)
The Blue Bot project involved 230 five-year-old pupils of kindergarten in the Nord-Pas de Calais Region (France). The goal was to introduce them to coding, decoding and programming design. A ludopedagogy session was proposed with three main modalities: Body, Robot and Tablet. The statistical results confirmed the reliability of the scientific experiment and highlighted that the two modality combining Robot and Tablet recorded the highest performance scores in a pre- and posttest type evaluation [...]Keywords : Robot, Pedagogy, Tablet PC, Comparative Study, kindergarten, programming design, Coding, Decoding
Datagames: Questioning About the Unproductive Criterion of Play (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT. This paper proposes to question one of the criteria proposed by Roger Caillois to define both play and game. This criterion is the 4th in relation to unproductivity. Based on the datagame, a game category belonging to the Serious Game, we propose a hypothetic- deductive approach to analyze this fourth criterion. At the same time, this process let us to explore the concept of datagame and the identification of benefits for the players.
