Qian and Clark. 2016. Game-based Learning and 21st century skills: A review of recent research

Qian, M., & Clark, K. R. (2016). Game-based learning and 21st century skills: A review of recent research. Computers in Human Behavior, 63, 50-58. doi:10.1016/j.chb.2016.05.023 The purpose of this paper was to conduct a literature review of the current research of 21 studies that were focused around game-based learning and 21st century skills as the outcome. “The findings suggest that a game-based learning approach might be effective in facilitating students’ 21st century skill development.” (p. 50). This paper also has some recommendations about what future researchers, teachers, and game designers should to about implementation of games as well as educational game design. Or rather that Game-Based Learning (GBL) is dependent on game design. Specifically, game designs which feature a blending of established learning theories with game design elements proven successful in the entertainment game industry are most likely to lead to effective learning. With regard to game genres, ...

Przybylski, A., & Weinstein, N. (2019). Violent video game engagement is not associated with adolescents' aggressive behaviour: evidence from a registered report

Andrew Przybylski and Netta Weinsteins’ study shows that violent video games have a null effect on aggressive behavior in adolescents. The study was done in 2019 and was authorized by University of Oxford. Although Przyblski and Weinstein initially predicted that adolescents who played violent video games would be more aggressive. The data collected from the psychological form used showed that aggression increases were null. “Despite the null findings identified in the present study, history gives us reason to suspect the idea that violent video games drives aggressive behaviour will remain an unsettled question for parents, pundits and policy-makers. Although our results do have implications for these stakeholders, the present work holds special significance for those studying technology effects, in general, and video games, in particular.” (Conclusion). This study used 1000 adolescents (500 male and 500 female) as the study group. This group would then play video games that ei...

Loge, Kenneth Et Al. (1992). Virtual reality: A new learning environment. The Computing Teacher, 16-19.

This article starts out with giving sufficient information on the process of Virtual Reality and how it works. It goes into detail about how a set of LCD screened goggles “generates a three dimensional visual and aural sensory experience” (Loge, 1992). This data is shared to a “ fiber optic interface” (Loge, 1992). called a DataGlove, which can help the user regulate his movement and the objects around them. The uses for VR in training environments show to vary from tank drivers to medical benefits. Using a virtual world to train tank drivers allows them to practice without the exorbitant costs for weapons and armor. The three most important applications for VR in the training area are visualization, simulation and construction of virtual worlds. Visualization provides easy comprehension of interactions and relationships with objects within any virtual landscape. Simulation allows for a artificial copy of reality that can be explored and interacted with, while construction of virtual...
