Beyond the Digital: Analogue Games´ Creative Potential in Deepening Data Literacy

: In an era where digital technology often dominates the educational landscape, the enduring appeal and educational potential of analogue learning games remain significant. These traditional, non-digital games, offer a tactile and interactive approach to learning that is both unique and impactful. Unlike their digital counterparts, analogue games require physical presence and direct interaction, which bring benefits to the educational process (Ribeiro, 2019; Medeisiene et al., 2021). This small case study explores, through a sociocultural lens, how analogue learning games influence creative learning processes in Continuing Education students. The results of a questionnaire to 43 participants enrolled in a course on Data Literacy in Norway, show that analogue learning games promote active engagement, foster social interaction, and stimulate innovative thinking connected to the course content when the setting around the activity feels safe for the participants. Participants also expressed that the tactile and social nature of analogue games encouraged more profound group discussions, leading to diverse perspectives and novel ideas. This resonates with findings from Medeisiene et al. (2021) who highlight the pedagogical value of game-based learning in enhancing engagement. These interactions not only bolstered creativity but also enhanced and deepened understanding and retention of knowledge from the Data Literacy course content. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of context and facilitation in maximising the benefits of analogue games for Continuing Education students. The findings suggest a promising avenue for further exploration into using analogue games in educational contexts. The study concludes with advocating conducting more research on the integration of learning games into continuing education curricula as a strategy to leverage the benefits of social interaction and active engagement, and to enhance creative learning that can deepen learning of course content.

Collaborative digital game design and play to facilitate college students’ creativity development

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate how digital games affected college students’ creativity development. A sample of 60 college students participated in the digital game design and play instruction, grounded in the playful constructivism theory. The data incorporated the students’ pre- and post-creativity scores in game design, the first and final versions of game design, and the students’ responses to the open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that the students’ creativity was developed after digital game design and play instruction, facilitated by three key creative learning processes, including collaborative digital game design, digital game-playing for providing peer feedback, and redesign of the games after receiving peer feedback. These collaborative processes encouraged the students’ role-reversal between designers and players, enabling the students to provide and receive peer feedback for the exchange of creative ideas. Through reflecting on received peer feedback, the students refined their initial ideas and tailored their reflections to redesign the games for the target learners, thereby cultivating their creativity in educational digital game design. This study suggests collaborative digital game design and play instruction is an effective strategy to facilitate college students’ creativity development.

Older adults often present with complex and multiple healthcare needs. Engaging in critical reflection can assist nurses to provide the high-quality, person-centred care required to meet those needs, support older people to retain their independence and enhance their well-being. This article discusses critical reflection within the context of nursing older people and describes various models that can be used to support the reflective process. The authors use a practice example to illustrate how using critical reflection in practice can enable nurses to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and use what they have learned to enhance their delivery of person-centred care.

An embodied perspective on an augmented reality game in school: pupil's bodily experience toward learning

There has long been an increased focus on and investment in digital technology in schools to improve the quality of education. While digital tools have gained access to pedagogical spheres, physical activity has been overlooked, as pupils often engage in activities that require minimal bodily movement. In this article, we discuss pupils’ experiences with learning through an augmented reality (AR)-based game application and explain how the application supports embodied learning. Digital tools, including gaming, can supplement traditional activities, motivate children to become physically active and enhance their learning experiences. Integrating technology and physical activity can create a more varied, meaningful, and dynamic school day, positively supporting pupils’ learning processes. The AR game associated with this study facilitated physical activity and learning experiences through a mobile device application. The empirical material for the study includes interviews with pupils participating in an AR game in mathematics. The findings show that participating in an AR game promoted embodied learning and positively impacted pupils’ motivation, engagement and learning processes. More specifically, AR facilitated learners’ engagement in the learning process by fostering their active involvement through physical and social collaboration and by enhancing the pupils’ joy of learning. Additionally, the pupils expressed that they enjoyed the application’s variations and the experiences that followed working collaboratively with the tasks. Moreover, they commonly found the physical and collaborative components of the AR game exciting and academically motivating. Studies on AR games and technology focusing on the opportunities and pedagogical foundations for their use in education are relevant in these precarious times. Indeed, more knowledge is needed on the ways creative and flexible learning processes that transpire within a technological learning environment influence embodied learning, knowledge that is essential for designing teaching and learning in the technical future.
