An Analytic Framework for Game-based Learning

Dr JAN Mingfong
Assistant Professor
Graduate Institute of Learning and Instruction
National Central University, Taiwan
Abstract

In this talk, Dr JAN presents a game-based learning (GBL) analytic framework and showcases a systematic review of GBL research published at the Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education (GCCCE). The GBL analytic framework delineates (1) three research trends in game-based learning, (2) four learning objectives in game-based learning research and practices, and (3) three concepts of game-based learning. Researchers and practitioners can employ the GBL analytic framework to better clarify game-based learning research and design orientation. It can also be utilised as a systematic analytic tool for understanding research trends and practices in game-based learning.

Biography
