A Comparative Study on the Sea-heroes Narrative Structure between Game 'Dave the Diver' and 'Tale of Geotaji'

The purpose of this study is to examine the cultural originality of folktales and the media specificity of game narratives by comparing and analyzing the narrative structures of digital games and Korean folktales. To this end, this study focused on the fact that both the game <Dave the Diver> and <Tale of Geotaji> feature sea-heroes narratives that follow the structure of a hero’s journey based in the sea. First, this study analyzes the universality inherent in games and folktales through the structure of return between the sea and land and the occupational characteristics of the main character. In Korean storytelling culture, the sea is assumed to be a space interrelated with the land, and sea heroes also perform by utilizing acquired skills. And this study analyzes how archetypal folktales are transformed to fit the game medium. The sea-heroes narrative appears as a structure of juxtaposition in which quest games are repeatedly performed through the participation of players and quest narratives are continuously accumulated. In addition, the main character establishes a dual identity by coexisting with his everyday appearance on land and extraordinary appearance under the sea.

Beyond Game Culture: How Genshin Impact Gamers Construct Their Identities through Game Media

Game cultures and related industries have boomed in China after the Covid 19 pandemic, attracting a wide range of Chinese.

Side-Eye from the Side Kid: Child Sidekicks as Disciplinary Tools in Contemporary Video Games

In this article, I analyse the function of supporting child-characters in contemporary videogames. I integrate Stephen Zimmerly’s typology of sidekicks in Young Adult literature with critical writing on the ‘Daddening’ of videogames, a coinage that refers to the rise in the number of videogames that centre on the filial bond between a father figure and a child. Bringing these ideas into conversation with each other allows me to expand Zimmerly’s sidekick typology to include the ‘Ludic Gateway’, the ‘Morality Certificate’, and the ‘Disciplinary Tool’. I explore each category in greater depth using two case studies: The Last of Us series (2012; 2014; 2020) and the God of War series (2008; 2018; 2022). These commercially successful, critically acclaimed franchises rely on young deuteragonists to humanize and redeem the gruff, aggressive, violent male player character. Furthermore, the child sidekicks also serve to regulate the player’s in-game behaviour by way of a parasocial relationship. Using a close reading approach, I demonstrate that the supporting child-characters function as meta-critical devices to discipline gaming communities and the video game medium itself.

Chemistry Game Cards as an Alternative Media for Learning: A Literature Review

Along with many chemical game media studies in the last 5 years, therefore the purpose of this literature review is to provide the latest information regarding student perspectives on chemical game card media. The review was conducted by searching international articles from ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Mendeley Search, ERIC, ACS Publication and Springer Link databases related to articles published between January 2019 and September 2024. To ensure conclusions based on high-quality evidence with longitudinal studies with a sample of >500 articles within the last 5 years, the search resulted in 6,779 articles from 6 databases. With a total of 23 articles with student subjects and 18 articles with student subjects who expressed their opinions about chemistry games and 2 articles with review article subjects. Overall, students and university students stated that chemistry game activities are effective as an alternative fun learning media to increase student engagement, motivation and learning outcomes. However, in this review, it was found that the use of games integrated with the internet was less in secondary schools than in universities. Meanwhile, the use of chemistry games without internet integration in high school and college is relatively the same. Overall, the perspectives of students and college students showed a positive attitude towards chemistry games.

The difference between digital educational game and powerpoint-based video on oral hygiene knowledge in children aged 7-8 years : a quasi-experimental

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Oral and dental health problems can be prevented through dental health education in which methods and media play an important role in increasing knowledge. Media that is often used in schools is still conventional, therefore research on modern media use is needed. This study intended to analyze the difference between digital educational games and PowerPoint-based videos in improving oral hygiene knowledge. Methods: This study method was a quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group and pretest-posttest design. The study population were 36 second-grade students at Elementary School 20 Kalumbuk, in Padang, Indonesia, selected using total sampling, with inclusion criteria being 7-8 year olds who brought informed consent forms which were already signed by parents and were in good overall health. The sample that met the inclusion criteria was 32 students and were divided into two groups. A total of 16 students in the experimental group (Group A) received oral health education through digital educational game media, while the remaining 16 students in the control group (Group B) were provided with PowerPoint-based video media. Data were collected by giving questionnaires both before and after education. The data analysis was using a paired t-test and an independent t-test. Results: The oral hygiene knowledge average increased 2.94 in Group A and 1.68 in Group B. The paired t-test showed significant improvement in both groups (p = 0.000). The independent t-test revealed a significant difference between digital educational games and PowerPoint-based videos (p = 0.037). Conclusion: There is a significant difference between digital educational games and PowerPoint-based videos in improving dental and oral hygiene knowledge among children aged 7-8 years. The digital educational games demonstrated a higher increase in knowledge compared to the PowerPoint-based videos.
