In the designed learning environment, digital games were introduced to pre-service teachers, they were asked to play the games, take notes regarding the game during the game play, and reveal the mathematical results behind the games. After the game activities, teacher candidates were asked to evaluate the games. The data obtained were evaluated qualitatively and the thinking styles of the teacher candidates in the process of playing games and their views on games were presented with direct quotes and screenshots. The findings of the research revealed that the designed learning environment offers prospective teachers unique opportunities to think about mathematically strong contexts and to experience different methods of teaching and learning mathematics. The learning environment provided opportunities for teacher candidates to get to know, play, and understand and evaluate the mathematics behind the games, as well as discuss, think and collaborate in a meaningful context. In the study, it was concluded that educational digital games can become a powerful tool and an effective learning environment for learners, and prospective teachers need a radical approach that makes mathematics teaching interesting.

Transfer of learning in accounting programs: The role of business games

Transfer of learning has gained prominence in the literature, considering that students’ ability to transfer learning to solve real-world problems is increasingly expected. This study analyzes the relationship between transfer of learning and the development of soft skills based on the use of specialized software in a game-based course that is part of an accounting curriculum. To meet the objective, a survey with senior students was realized. The results were analyzed based on descriptive and inferential statistics using Stata®. Findings bring fresh and sustained evidence of accounting majors, using the business game software, being able to deal with real world issues in a controlled environment. They were also able to develop soft skills, predominantly collaboration and adaptability. Tests indicated that the development of skills for the accounting professional in the 21st century can be driven by transfer of learning and that the business game course has strongly contributed to this development. These results pose potential to contribute to the development of educational institutions, faculty and students, as it shows that skills and knowledge acquired and transferred throughout the course reflect on a better prepared professional to face typical business issues in the real world.

User Interface & User Experience Design of World War II Firearms in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Game

The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds video game or known as PUBG is a shooter type game that is well known by video game enthusiasts both on computer platforms (Personal Computers) and Mobile Phones. In the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds video game there are various types of firearms used in the game, some of which are firearms during World War II. The view and experience given in using these firearms in video games gives players a different image than modern firearms for players. How players perceive the visual appearance and experience of using World War II firearms is something interesting to discuss. The perception of World War II firearms being considered outdated and inadequate compared to modern weapons is a questionable factor in influencing the course of this video game. In this study using a pre-experimental method. This method was chosen to identify the initial description of the user interface and user experience perceptions related to World War II firearms in the game. This method is applied by selecting a group of player respondents to be conditioned under certain conditions so that they can provide conclusions regarding the user interface and user experience. The results showed that from the experience of the players, on average they had a perception that World War II weapons were old weapons and tended to replace them with modern weapons even though it did not affect the way of playing and the outcome of the game. Likewise, from the appearance aspect, the perception that firearms with materials that look old affect the feelings of the players in playing this weapon. The conclusion is that the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of firearms from World War II in the PUBG game are strongly influenced by the image of the firearms from outside the game itself, such as movies or the fame of the weapon from the media circulating and perceived by the public

The Effectiveness of Application of Moodle Software in Traditional Sports Game Courses

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of Moodle software to improve student learning outcomes in traditional sports game courses. This research uses a quantitative approach. The design used in this study is the pretest-posttest control group design. This research uses a student cognitive test instrument to measure the increase in student learning outcomes in traditional sports game courses. Based on the results of the test of information on the ability test of student learning outcomes with the test subject again 40 students (20 students for the experimental class and 20 students for the control class) obtained a significance value (sig.) in both the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or the Shapiro-test. Wilk 0.05 so that the data are normally distributed. Then, the test was carried out using an independent sample test, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) was 0, 000< 0.05 so that Ho (Statistical Hypothesis) is rejected and Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) is accepted so that there is a significant average difference between the post-test results of the experimental group and the post-test of the control group. Based on the N-Gain score test, the average N-gain score for the experimental class was 0.7, the findings were 0.85 in the high category. Meanwhile, the average N-gain score for the control class is 0.3, which is 0.34 with a low type. So it can be concluded that the implementation of Moodle software can improve student learning outcomes in traditional sports game courses.

Kepemimpinan dan Performa Bermain Bola Tangan melalui Model Pendidikan Olahraga

The implementation of sports activities and learning is carried out to improve performance. The meaning of the values of sports, as the most important thing of positive sports development, has not been sufficiently revealed. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the development and mastery of the students through the implementation of sport education models containing leadership content and without leadership content. This study used a quasi-experimental control group pre-post test design involving 80 students as the samples through the purposive sampling technique. The samples were divided into two groups of students taking handball game courses. The results showed that there were two influential things, namely intentionally simulated student learning and general students learning without simulation. Thus, a finding of interest in the study was that after implementation of sport education models containing leadership content, performance enhancement in a 27% difference in the application of the simulated education model. Meanwhile, there was no difference in handball games performance, which means that both of them were affected. Furthermore, the development of leadership had a greater influence than the increase in handball games performance with a 22% difference. It might be because the students gained valuable values from the handball learning experience through the sports education model that is useful for learners and coaches and can be applied in sports clubs and, most importantly, in educational institutions.

RETRACTED: Research on the teaching of game course in physical education

Game teaching in physical education has become an effective means to develop students' intelligence, physical strength and basic activity ability in all stages. The quality of game teaching is related to the quality of physical education, which can not be compared with the simple standardized and traditional teaching. With the growth of students' age, it is very necessary to carry out the game teaching in a targeted way. Up to now, the reform of physical education curriculum has been deepened, and the organizational form and goal of physical education teaching have changed dramatically. Games are the same sports activities that students like very much. They are rich in content and various in forms. Most of the games have story plots or competition factors, and integrate various activities such as running, jumping and throwing, which is very suitable for the age characteristics and psychological characteristics of students at all stages.

Creative Game Design Training Requirements

Current technological advances have replaced traditional games with digital games, which indicate the rapid expansion of digital or video games. Creativity and innovation are essential elements for designing successful games. However, many games produced in the market failed due to a lack of creativity. There is no specific method of training creativity for game courses taught at higher learning institutions. Game designers also have no specific tool to help them create innovative games. Therefore, a systematic approach to train creative game designing skills is needed. This study aimed to model the requirements for creativity training in game design. Specifically, the study’s objectives are to identify creativity components for game design, develop a training model and validate it. The method used involved document analysis, interviews with game developers and game development educators, and the model’s construction by mapping and validating the model using the expert review technique. Results found that intelligence, thinking style, motivation, personality, experience, game genre, environment, storyline, goals, rules, community, and task distribution are requirements for creative game design. These elements were mapped and categorized as the model components - the designer, knowledge, creativity training in the game design process, method, and technology support. The model validation result using the Inter-Rater Reliability (IRR) coefficient is 0.90 (90 %), indicating excellent reliability as approved by the experts. The creativity training model will be implemented either in software or conventional training modules for designing creative games.

“Things that are taken from one culture don’t necessarily work well in another culture.” Investigating epistemological tensions through preservice teachers’ views on the assessment of a games course in Swedish PETE

a part of the discussion about how movement knowledge is valued in physical education teacher education (PETE), issues of assessment have been brought to the fore. Studies have shown that how and when movement knowledge is assessed is strongly culturally dependent and based different epistemological orientations. The aim of this paper is to analyse and discuss how preservice teachers in Sweden perceive assessment in an invasion games course according to the games performance assessment instrument (GPAI). The empirical material presented in this study is based on a web-survey carried out at the end of the invasion games course where the participants were asked to write comments of how the experienced GPAI and its relevance in school physical education. The findings suggest that the preservice teacher experience prediction and measurement of appropriate and non-appropriate behaviours in GPAI as problematic from a didactic perspective. The ideas of “correctness” and “appropriateness”, which are fundamental in GPAI, is discussed in the relation to the socially critical constructivist epistemology that underpins Swedish PETE.

Fundamentals of Improvement of the physical Qualities of schoolchildren Via Outdoor games

Aim: The objective of the research is the elaboration and the scientific justification of the methodology of the development of physical qualities of junior school children via the method of action-oriented games. materials and methods: The methodology of the research is based on the usage of the theoretical, pedagogical, medical and biological methods, the method of monitoring of the steps and chronometry. The research was attended by the students of the 3rd and 4th year at Poltava general education school No22 of 1-3 degrees. Results: The particularity of the elaborated method of the development of physical qualities is the application of physical exercises and action-oriented games in the course of physical education. The results of the experiment showed that the students from the experimental group had a significantly better level of physical qualities in the course of verification and experience slight fatigue in the course of action-oriented games. 79% out of 100% of the students of the experimental group experienced no difficulties in the course of execution of physical engagement during action-oriented games. Conclusions: According to the analysis and summarization of the information from literature sources, it was discovered that physical qualities are the show of the motional capabilities of a child. Active motional activity leads to faster, but more importantly – to more harmonic maturing of morphological and functional systems of a student.

OSCEGame: A serious game for OSCE training.

Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are amongst the most anxiety-provoking competency assessment methods. An online serious game (OSCEGame) was developed and implemented within the OSCE curriculum. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of this serious game on preparedness and reducing OSCE-related stress. A serious game was designed to help dental students train for OSCEs. Two game courses (4 stations each) were designed according to year of undergraduate training (4th and 5th year), based on 6 pre-existing multi-competency OSCE stations. The OSCEGame was available online on a learning platform 4 to 6weeks before the summative OSCEs. Game use was evaluated by analysing connection data. Preparedness, stress and time management skills were assessed using a questionnaire following the summative OCSEs. The results of 4th -year students (OSCE naive population) were compared to those of 5th -year students to assess usefulness and benefits of such preparation method. In total, 97% and 60% of the students in 4th year and 5th year, respectively, used the game. The game was seen as an essential preparation tool to reduce anxiety (for 60% of all students) and increase time management skills (65% of all students). However, significant differences were observed between 4th- and 5th -year students (anxiety reduction: 65% vs. 22%, p<0.001; time management skills: 59% vs. 41%, p<0.05) suggesting that it is most useful for OSCE naive students. This serious game is a useful time efficient online tool, for OSCE preparation, especially in OSCE naive students.

Investigation of Prospective Teachers&amp;#39; Attitudes towards Game and Physical Activities Course

The purpose of this research is to determine the attitudes of prospective teachers towards game and physical activities subject. In the first part of the study, it is aimed to describe the attitudes of prospective teachers towards game and physical activities course. In the second part of the study, it was analyzed whether the variables of gender and department studied significantly differed on the attitudes of prospective teachers towards game and physical activities course. Screening method was used in this research. Candidates studying in the physical education and sports teaching, classroom teaching and preschool teaching departments of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University participated in the study on a voluntary basis. &amp;quot;Personal Information Form&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Attitude Scale for Game and Physical Activities Course&amp;quot; were used in the data collection process. When testing the research data, 0.05 significance level was taken. In the analysis of the data, ANOVA technique was used. The prospective teachers&amp;#39; attitudes towards the course of game and physical activities course are generally high (X̅ = 4.01). The attitudes of teacher candidates towards the course of game and physical activities course differ significantly according to their genders (p &amp;lt;.05) and departments (F = 8,278, p &amp;lt;.05). Research results show that prospective teachers&amp;#39; attitudes towards the course of game and physical activities course are generally at a high level. However, the mean of male candidates is higher than the mean of female candidates. The attitudes of prospective teachers towards physical education and sports teaching are positive and at high level.

Spaces of Joint Inquiry Through Visual Facilitation and Representations in Higher Education: An Exploratory case study

This study investigates how the use of visual facilitation and representations, e.g. visualisations and video productions, combined with peer‑feedback sessions can create exploratory approaches to game design in online teaching. The article analyses an iterative game development process in an online learning context. The empirical data is primarily based on an explorative case study of “Games for change”; a course held in 2018 in which master students from the international Nordic Visual Studies and Art Education (NoVA) design games that address issues in society. Throughout the course, the students from universities in Finland, Sweden and Denmark engaged in a cross‑cultural collaboration across campuses. The purpose of the study was to explore how to establish an online space for joint design inquiry in the context of ‘games for change’ across time and space as well as cultural and professional barriers. The data used for analysis includes teaching observations, videos of play sessions, photos and visual representations, students’ reflection papers and students’ written and oral evaluations after completion of the course. The analysis is based on different problem‑based learning (PBL) activities; lectures, video instructions, presentation‑ and feedback sessions, reflexive exercises and students’ self‑directed design and learning processes in groups. As part of the game course, teachers presented game theory and exercises through videos and visualisations to support the students’ iterative game design processes. The analysis of the PBL activities shows that teachers’ video instructions relating theoretical game concepts to the students’ actual group work supported the introduction to the game field as well as their design processes. The balance between the value of video instructions with specific feedback and teachers’ time for preparation is a relevant issue for further exploration in online teaching. Moreover, findings show that the students’ visualisations and video productions exemplifying game situations created a visible reference point for further discussions in feedback sessions across campuses, which guided game development. Thus, the combination of inquiry approaches, critical game theory and design processes combined with students’ visualisations and video productions provides interesting connections for bridging gaps between cultures and professions, e.g. in art and games. By the rich and visual descriptions of PBL activities, student work and reflective evaluations, the exploratory case study can function as inspiration for applying similar approaches to new local contexts in higher education.

Examining the Self-Efficacy of Primary School Teachers and the Problems Encountered in Physical Education and Game Course

This study was conducted in order to determine the self-efficacy of primary school teachers and the problems that they encounter in physical education and game classes. The sample of study are consisted of 391 primary school teachers who were selected by stratified sampling method and working in Konya and Nigde provinces in the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. In research, 'Teacher self-efficacy belief scale' was used. In addition, teachers were asked open-ended questions about physical education and game lesson. According to the findings of the research, it was concluded that teachers are quite sufficient in the field. No difference was found between the self-efficacy scores by gender. Self-efficacy scores are significant in favor of those who do not need in-service training. Significant results were obtained in the sub-dimension of student participation in favor of teachers using physical activity card (PAC) in physical education and game lesson. This course which branch teacher should conduct were achieved meaningful findings in favor of the primary school teacher. The answers of teachers for open-ended questions were converted into frequency tables. According to the answers of the teachers, among the subjects that need in-service training; new teaching approaches, classroom management, special field courses and the use of technology in education have come to the fore. In physical education and game lessons, the movements of displacement, object control and balancing are acquisitions that teachers can do best. The course achievements that are forced in practice; are designing games, using various strategies and tactics, designing appropriate programs to improve physical fitness, preparing a nutrition program to protect health. When the problems encountered in physical education and game lessons are examined, they are generally collected under three headings. These are that the school-environment is caused by the teacher and the student.

The Pitching Problem: Proxy Measures for the Identification of Pitcher Fatigue

ObjectiveThis study assessed the utilization of accessible records and metrics in developing proxy measures for fatigue in professional starting pitchers, and to understand the associated effects within lapses in short‐term and long‐term performance.Design and MethodsLeveraging MLB Statcast AI, we pulled relevant data relating to pitches thrown during the 2015 – 2018 regular and postseasons. The available data was then analyzed in three separate iterations to better understand and isolate the impact of critical metrics. This iterative approach isolated the data based on the following subcategories: anecdotal game, seasonal, and aggregate sets.ResultsThrough the prior detailed approach, we established the significance of three unaccounted for workload factors that represented suitable proxies for the identification of fatigue in starting pitchers. These factors included: strike‐to‐ball ratio, rest period, and a hit‐to‐strike ratio. These metrics represent a means of analyzing fatigue in relation to a pitcher’s performance through the course of a single game, and subsequently, inform optimal strategies as to bullpen management.ConclusionsAs a starting pitcher approaches a pitch count of thirty, management staffs can begin to utilize the prior mentioned proxy metrics as indicators of the impact of fatigue on a pitcher’s performance. These measures represent an alternative to traditional methods and an accessible solution.

Games Education Within the Broader Liberal Arts

According to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), there are currently 519 games programs at higher education institutions in the United States (Entertainment Software Association 2019). The Higher Education Video Game Alliance (HEVGA)’s 2019 “Survey of Program Graduates” finds that ‘520 institutions offered 1200 + game-related programs and degrees in 2018’ (Phelps et al. 2019, p. 14). Although some of these programs are professionally oriented undergraduate and graduate game design, game studies, game arts, and/or game development programs, others are situated within broader disciplines like computer and information sciences, engineering and engineering technologies, and visual and performing arts programs (Steinkuehler et al. 2015, p. 3). Given the geographic distribution of the institutions that offer games programs, the geographic concentration of game industry jobs, and the distribution of the respondents to the survey, I believe it is a fair assumption that there are more students enrolled in academic games programs in the U.S. than there are available entry-level jobs in the games industry. Given that situation, this paper attempts to answer the question: “What are games courses for in a broader interdisciplinary media arts program at a liberal arts college?” It is part autoethnography, part case study, and part position paper, as it acknowledges the specific circumstances of my own game design education and experience. As such, it is a story of my open-ended games education followed by my tacit acceptance and self-imposition of the hegemonic culture of games as primarily economic production. Then, as I went into teaching, a story of my subsequent burnout, eventual reflection on, and acceptance of my academic origins and the origins of my current academic program. I conclude by offering a possible framework for situating a games curriculum as a liberal art by using William Cronon’s essay “Only Connect…: The Goals of a Liberal Education” (1998) as a framing device.

Co-Evolution of Complex Network Public Goods Game under the Edges Rules.

The reconnection of broken edges is an effective way to avoid drawback for the commons in past studies. Inspired by this, we proposed a public goods game model under the edges rules, where we evaluate the weight of edges by their nodes’ payoff. The results proved that the game obtains a larger range of cooperation with a small gain factor by this proposed model by consulting Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) and real experiments. Furthermore, as the following the course of game and discussing the reason of cooperation, in the research, we found that the distribution entropy of the excess average degree is able to embody and predict the presence of cooperation.
