Abstract

This paper aimed to investigate how gamified learning approach influence science learning achievement through a context- aware mobile learning environment and to explain effects on student learning outcome. A mobile learning environment has been developed based on MILS (Mobile Insect Learning System) gamified learning activity. A series of gamified learning activities based on MILS was developed and implemented in an elementary school science curriculum to improve student learning achievement and help students to actively engage in learning activities. A quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the effectiveness of gamification approach by combining game elements with the use of MILS in a real-world scenario. The response to questionnaire indicates that students valued the outdoor learning activities made possible by use of the smartphone and its functions. Pre- and post-test results demonstrated that incorporating mobile and gamification technologies into botanical learning process could achieve a better learning achievement than using non-gamified mobile learning and traditional instruction. In managerial implications, the results could provide parents, teachers, educational organizations to make related educational decision.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
