ABSTRACT This paper presents a comparative study of cognitive mediations at work in the scope of pedagogical device dedicated to introduce robotic/computer science to learners of last section of kindergarten (5-6 years old). The device used for the experiment is a robot named «Blue Bot» and presents three modalities in the scope of proposed serious games: the body, the robot and digital tablet. This study highlights on how mediator-in

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

Workshop aimed at experimenting with the evaluation protocol to be deployed around the Volar research project. The latter is a Serious Game using tangible objects. The aim of this research project is to carry out a comparative study between an all-digital Serious Game and a hybrid Serious Game involving both digital and tangible objects.

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

BLUE BOT PROJECT Serious digital games are attractive educational tools and resources which are undoubtedly relevant in appropriate contexts and situations (Alvarez et al., 2016). Faced with growing screen consumption by young children and its dangers on the development of several capacities, the exposure of kindergarten children is questionable (Tisseron, 2013). In order to benefit from the potential of serious digital games, without achieving overexposure to the screen, the use of toys su

Abstract A Serious Game (SG) is a virtual process designed for the purpose of real-world problem-solving. In SG analytics studies, learning processes are tracked using diverse techniques to support the personalization of instruction. However, it is a challenge to find potential meanings of each parameter of the tracking logs and define an appropriate indicator for a user’s behavior. Game tracking logs often only provide limited information regardless of a game context. Therefore, rese
