CEPAJe, un outil pour évaluer une séance ludopédagogique (Broacasting our studies)
This article describes the CEPAJe model, which is used to design and evaluatean 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 in advance.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 [...]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
Player Personality Profile Grid (PPP Grid) (Broacasting our studies)
The purpose of this article is to propose a model to help trainers assess the player profiles they are likely to encounter among their learners. The goal is to maximize the chances of making an edutainment session as effective as possible. This approach resulted in a first iteration of a model. This model was built and derived based on statistical analysis of 1,126 individuals who completed a questionnaire about their communication personality, age, gamer profile, and weekly play time. Using thi [...]Keywords : Profiles, Players, Personnality, Learners, DiSC Model, Bartle's Typology
(Broacasting our studies)
In this new episode, Dr. Ludus explores the concept of the "video toy", as described by researcher Stéphane Natkin in 2003 in his book "Video Games and Media in the 21st Century". https://www.eyrolles.com/Informatique... How does the concept of "video toy" differ from that of "video game"? That's what Machine and Dr. Ludus explain in this new episode.

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
Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
This article investigated whether it is possible to establish correspondences between game mechanics and particular cognitive stimulations. There are many challenges to prevent and treat cognitive decline with aging or neurocognitive disease. Observing difficulties to establish such correspondences in the scientific literature, we proposed to move away from “classification by genre” or any other type of taxonomy that deviates from the framework of the “Rules/Formal schemas&rdqu [...]Keywords : video games, serious games, game mechanics, cognitive functions, executive functions

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
