Critical Analysis of Learning Models (Broacasting our studies)
Edgar Dale’s pyramid is often associated with percentages by training organizations to promote active pedagogies. However, this model has a marketing origin and no scientific basis. It is therefore appropriate to turn to other models such as those of Agyris, Schön and Kolb (1984), which emphasize the importance of learning by doing. At the same time, by studying these different models, we can identify the extent to which the use of games and, by extension, serious games ar [...]Keywords : Learning models, Serious Game, Evaluation
Serious Games for Vocational Training: From Emotional Labor to Knowledge Transfer (Broacasting our studies)
SummaryBased on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations. After defining emotional labor, it discusses issues related to the use of a serious game as mediation; whether or not it is accepted; and whether it contributes to the possibility of better regulating emotions. The results suggest that knowledge transfer, in and around work situations, is related more to the acceptan [...]Keywords : Emotional Labor, Knowledge transfer, Recruitment schemes, Serious Escape Game, Vocational training, Work situations
Serious gaming activity in team management training : reflections on emotions and debriefing (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract. In a socio-constructivist approach, our study analyzed a serious gaming activity in a four-day management training program. The executives were mostly men in the engineering field who held management roles for more than 2 years. We observed the executives’ 16 training sessions and interviewed 44 executives of big industrial groups, who had participated in the training, one month after the final session. A psychology of work perspective underpinned our theoretical and methodologic [...]Keywords : Emotionality, Debriefing, Reflexivity, Team management, Serious gaming, Ludopedagogy
Serious game for waste sorting on interactive tabletop with tangible objects: exploratory study (Broacasting our studies)
In the field of microbiology training, in which contaminated products must be handled and recycled, there are new needs in order to reduce risks and costs. New advances in Tangible interaction and serious game domains can provide solutions to answer these needs. We propose a serious game relating to waste sorting. It is available on a tangible tabletop equipped with RFID technology. The design and realisation using tangibility and gamification concepts are presented. An exploratory study with st [...]Keywords : Tangible interaction, Serious Game, Interactive tabletop, RFID, Gamification, Gameplay, Waste sorting, Microbiology
Automatic Extraction of Smart Game Based Learning Design Expertise: An Approach Based on Learning Ontology (Broacasting our studies)
Smart Game Based Learning System (SGBLS) design is a complex area. It requires the intervention of multiple actors with specific skills and expertise. Unfortunately, novice game designers who do not have necessary competency inspired from both educational and video games systems cannot successfully create SGBLS. For that, they have to acquire specific skills and expertise in an efficient and active pedagogical manner. To solve this problem, there are several existing techniques, among them learn [...]Keywords : Smart Game Based Learning System (SGBLS), Game design

Presentation of a Model Dedicated to Assessing Ludo-pedagogical Activities, and Feedback (Broacasting our studies)
This paper first presents the elaboration of the CEPAJe model, which aims at evaluating a pedagogical activity in a reflexive or non-reflexive way. This elaboration, uses a hypothetico-deductive approach and is based on the enrichment of the grid proposed by Sara de Freitas and Martin Oliver in 2006. In parallel, we convene the ESAR system of Denise Garon dating from 1985. In a second part, CEPAJe is described to understand its structure and its various dimensions. Finally, in a third part we pr [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Game, Model, Assessment, Training, Teaching, Ludo-pedagogy, Activity
(Broacasting our studies)
A video game for learning is a complex computer system whose objective is to teach a learner new skills in a specific area of knowledge. Interdisciplinary teams responsible for this type of video game face significant communication and design challenges. They must therefore be able to rely on a formal and well-structured process in order to deal with the delicacy of bringing together education and video games. The method described in this paper combines instructional engineering video game devel [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Video Game, Learning, Instructional Design, Method
Communication system and team situation awareness in a multiplayer real-time learning environment: application to a virtual operating room (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractDigital multi-player learning games are believed to represent an important step forward in risk management training, especially related to human factors, where they are trusted to improve the performance of a team of learners in reducing serious adverse events, near-misses and crashes in complex socio-technical systems. Team situation awareness is one of the critical factors that can lead the team to consider the situation with an erroneous mental representation. Then, inadequate decisio [...]Keywords : Digital collaborative environment, Team situation awareness, Communication, Information, Decision Making, Learning game, Virtual environment, Socio-technical system
