OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS OF A CLASSROOM TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICE BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY AND SERIOUS GAMES ON MOBILE PLATFORMS (Diffusion de nos travaux)

This qualitative research is part of a learning effort to better understand how serious games are exploited in a science education context. The research team examined this issue by focusing on augmented reality as a technological innovation imbedded on a tablet. Given the current state of knowledge related to serious games and augmented reality, and given the fact that its use in the context of teaching/learning is not extended, this paper focuses on an initial exploration of how a new teaching [...]

Maximum Similarity Index (MSI): A metric to differentiate the performance of novices vs. multiple-experts in serious games (Diffusion de nos travaux)

AbstractIn learning environments, appropriate objectives are needed to create the conditions for learning and consequently the performance to occur. It follows that appropriate metrics would also be necessary to properly measure what actually constitute performance in situ (within that environment), and to measure if learning has indeed occurred. Serious games environments can be problematic for performance measurement because publishers often posit the game would automatically facilit [...]

Facilitation matters: A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Diffusion de nos travaux)

AbstractThis thesis explores the use of serious games from an instructor perspective. More specifically, it aims to study the roles of instructors and how they can be facilitated within an instructor-led game-based training environment. Research within the field of serious games has mostly focused on the learners' perspective, but little attention has been paid to what the instructors do and what challenges that entails. In this thesis, I argue that serious games, as artefacts used for learning [...]

About using serious games to teach (Portuguese) sign language (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Abstract Sign language is the form of communication used by Deaf people, which, in most cases have been learned since childhood. The problem arises when a non-Deaf tries to contact with a Deaf. For example, when nonDeaf parents try to communicate with their Deaf child. In most cases, this situation tends to happen when the parents did not have time to properly learn sign language. This dissertation proposes the teaching of sign language through the usage of serious games. Currently, similar [...]

A Preliminary Study of Serious Game Effect Model based on Construal-Level Theory (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Many of recent studies have suggested various positive outcomes of serious games. However, relatively little emphasis has been placed on the roles of user-centered factors from a psychological perspective. One of the main goals of serious games is the change of the user`s perception and behavior towards a positive direction. To achieve this goal, psychological factors should be applied to the user`s playing process in serious games. Inspired by construal-level theory(CLT), we propose a CLT appli [...]

Jeux sérieux : De quoi parle-t-on ? (Diffusion de nos travaux)

L’utilisation du jeu comme mécanisme d’apprentissage n’est pas nouveau et existait bien avant l’avènement du numérique et avait ses adeptes dès l’antiquité. Platon préconisait d’utiliser le jeu comme vecteur d’apprentissage : « Garde toi de donner par force aux enfants l'aliment des études, mais que ce soit en le mêlant à leur jeux, afin d'être encore plus capable d'apercevoir quel [...]
