CEPAJe, un outil pour évaluer une séance ludopédagogique (Broacasting our studies)
This chapter describes the CEPAJe model, which is used to design and evaluate an edutainment sequence. In concrete terms, it presents the CEPAJe model, and illustrates with examples of the use of serious games how it can be used to prepare, upstream, an educational sequence. How it can be used to prepare an edutainment session upstream, and then to evaluate the session downstream, so that the activity can be the activity for the next time.Keywords : Serious game, Play based learning, Evaluation, CEPAJe

An educational robotics experiment conducted with five-year old pupils to learn coding / decoding / design: Statistical results and interpretations (Broacasting our studies)
The main objective of this study is to assess the reliability of the Blue Bot experiment by statistical means. This experiment was carried out in 2017 in France and was based on the reported performances of 230 pupils in 28 Year-1 1 classes for coding, decoding and programming. 35 teachers were involved in the Blue Bot project. This study aims at replying the following issue: Out of the various available modalities (body, robot and tablet), what types of performances were identified when five-ye [...]Keywords : Robot-based pedagogy, Coding / decoding, Modalities, Comparative study, Programming design, Evaluation research, Serious games, Year 1 pupils
A formal approach to distinguish Games, Toys, Serious Games & Toys, Serious Re-purposing & Modding and Simulators (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— While the serious game concept has considerably evolved in the last two decades, it still needs to be clearly differentiated from other types of artifacts. Thus, there is a degree of confusion about the relationship between serious games and other related applications such as simulators or the re-purposing of entertainment games within educational practices for most outside the domain. This article proposes a formal approach toward classifying Games, Toys, Serious Games, Serious [...]Keywords : Formal definition, Health, Health Game, Serious Game, Serious Modding, Serious Re-purposing, Serious Toy, Simulator
Emergence of the "gameplay" term in the English-speaking and French-speaking video game culture sphere in the 20th century (Broacasting our studies)
The present study aims to verify the emergence of the terms « game play » (in one word) and « gameplay » (in two words) within the framework of the Anglophone and Francophone video game cultural sphere. Starting from the writings of Wikipedia who sees the origin of these words associated with the mention « How the game plays ? » which would have appeared on the first coin-op arcade games, we are conducting an investigation of [...]Keywords : gameplay, game play, video game, lexicometry, emergence, coin-op arcade Games, History of video game
Introducing pupils to robotics & computer science: when mediating materials impact the teaching action's grammar (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT : This paper presents a comparative study of cognitive mediations between pedagogical devices dedicated to introduced robotic/ computer science to last section of kindergarten learners. The ludo-pedagogical session “Blue Bot” used for the experimentations was declined in three modalities: the body, the robot and digital tablets. This study highlights how mediator instruments influence acts of teaching through the identification of professional gestures, postures an [...]Keywords : Educational robotics, Cognitive mediation, Activity analysis, Last section of kindergarten, Teacher acts, Professional gestures and postures
PATTERN..PATTERN.. : learning loops without spatial skills (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT : This article presents an educational setting intended to introduce 5-6 year olds pupils to the loop concept. It articulates unplugged activities, problem solving and creative activities through an online platform. The analysis of observations and digital traces collected in an ecological setting shows that it is possible to introduce basic algorithmic concepts by relying solely on visual patterns identification, avoiding spatial tracking difficulties (robot movements). We al [...]Keywords : Computational Thinking, Programming Learning, Game-based Learning, Serious Play
Digital games and Ludopedagogy: Introduction to a special issue (Broacasting our studies)
Vol 6 - Issue 1 By proposing to study both the genesis and the actuality, but also the implementation and the reception of digital games in the educational worlds, this thematic file aims at enriching the reflection in two fields of research, that of the "educations to" and that of a digital (or informational) culture.
