| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 數位學習科技研究所 === 99 === Since game-based learning (GBL) in recent studies have been found limited in a small section or chapter of one single subject, this research tries to establish a game-based assessment learning system applicable for various subjects, such as Mathematics, English, and Chinese etc. Compared with traditional assessments, GBL is much more interesting and motivating, even though GBL costs more money and time.
The GBL assessment system must be easy for students to use and be effortless for teachers to set the exam questions. And the most important thing is to make a real commercial web game of the GBL assessment system. In order to create a real GBL assessment game, the system is simply introduced to elementary school students in a short time, and the students may have the right to decide whether to use/play the “Game” or not. The results of this research are shown as below:
1.Parents are deeply concerned about the game which their children are playing. Parents will rest assured of it when they find their children are playing the game made by school teachers that its purposes are for assessment and learning.
2.Parents even encourage their children to play the “Game”, but still expect the game maker to design an anti-addiction mechanism (time limit) to avoid excessive exposure to computers, playing the game for too long.
3.Children are really aware that the system is for learning and assessment, but it seems to all students like a “Game”, and they are willing to spend their leisure/after-school time in the “Game.”
4.Through peer assessment of the system, students are highly motivated to learn and accordingly have higher correct answer rate in the GBL assessment.
The GBL assessment system helps student master various subjects, like Mathematic, English and Chinese. It makes children feel happy by learning in an informal style. Teachers and parents as well feel satisfied at the positive influence of the system.
