What is Educational Games Design?
Educational Games Design is the process of creating game mechanics, narratives, and assessments in serious games to enhance learning outcomes in subjects like math, science, and physical skills.
This subtopic integrates gamification with multimedia elements to boost engagement and knowledge transfer. Key studies evaluate VR-based flood management games (Rismayani et al., 2022, 18 citations) and game-based volleyball techniques (Risma et al., 2020, 17 citations). Over 10 recent papers from 2019-2023 focus on empirical validation in Indonesian contexts.
Why It Matters
Educational games improve retention in disaster preparedness, as shown in gamified flood planning apps (Arinta et al., 2020, 15 citations), aiding risk reduction in flood-prone areas like Makassar. They enhance physical skills via games for volleyball (Risma et al., 2020) and futsal (Irawan and Prayoto, 2021, 14 citations), supporting inclusive education for deaf students through dance games (Septiani and Al Irsyadi, 2020, 13 citations). Multi-language math games foster verbal skills (Qolbi et al., 2019, 12 citations), transforming digital motivation in STEM.
Key Research Challenges
Balancing Engagement and Learning
Games must sustain fun while ensuring educational transfer, as VR flood games show high engagement but variable retention (Rismayani et al., 2022). Empirical tests reveal challenges in aligning mechanics with curricula (Risma et al., 2020). Fuzzy logic aids exploration but needs validation (Prawiyogi and Widayanti, 2023).
Adapting to Diverse Learners
Designs for deaf students or tribes require cultural sensitivity, as in traditional dance games (Septiani and Al Irsyadi, 2020). Multi-language math apps address verbal gaps but scale poorly (Qolbi et al., 2019). Physical games for futsal vary by skill level (Irawan and Prayoto, 2021).
Integrating Assessment Mechanics
Embedding fuzzy logic for exploratory activities complicates evaluation (Prawiyogi and Widayanti, 2023). VR and tile-based plugins demand real-time feedback (Rismayani et al., 2022; Nasution et al., 2019). Multi-objective NPC decisions remain foundational hurdles (Buditjahjanto et al., 2009).
