Exploring enjoyment while playing “Temple Lego”: A virtual reality cultural heritage serious game for architecture students

Serious games are generally considered to induce positive effects in the areas of learning motivation and learning gains. Yet few studies have examined how these factors are related specially in the context of visual aesthetic studies. Therefore, an empirical study was conducted to test the relationship between anticipated enjoyment and willingness to play, as well as between game enjoyment, self-reported cognitive and motivational learning gains and test results. In an explorative study, 25 students from undergraduate course in architecture school played the learning game Temple Lego. The results of pre-test and post-tests were analyzed using multiple linear regressions. The analysis showed that anticipated enjoyment played only a minor part in students’ willingness to learn with serious games. Of greater importance was the students' expectation that the learning game would be easy and instructive. There was a correlation between enjoyment and the post-test scores to continue being engaged with the subject matter of the game. We discuss the findings and pedagogical implications that can be applied to developing serious virtual reality (VR) games to learn about similar historical structures and contexts which is novel and sparsely explored.

The Greenhouse Effect: Using Student-Generated Agricultural Data to Warm Up Students for Data-Based Decision Making

ABSTRACT This article describes a collaborative project across multiple institutions to compare two versions of a regression activity: 1) a website version that collected student data through an online simulation with corresponding apps for visualization and 2) a traditional paper handout version that had a static dataset. This allowed us to evaluate the differences in student learning and attitudes when students have a stronger connection with the data through an interactive—and hopefully fun—data-collection process than they do when they are given a worksheet with a pre-collected dataset. While student and instructor responses indicated they liked the activity in both formats, the PreTest and PostTest results showed evidence of a higher gain in knowledge with the website version. Finally, we discuss how the website version connects with pedagogical strategies for the development of modern statistics and data science courses.
