Despite the Korean Government's efforts, serious games industry still finds difficult to thrive in Korea. The purpose of this study was to analyze systematically why serious games industry is slow to grow in South Korea and to make future suggestions for policy by studying the case of FCPS program. For future suggestions, the government should support the ecology rather than the games themselves by building more infrastructures, suuporting more software, and considering human factors. Responsible play and digital citizenship must also be emphasized.

Due to Covid-19, the un-contact culture has affected society as a whole, and the methods of education conducted offline has been greatly affected. In the private education of preparing for university entrance, the public official examinations and certification acquisition, the method of online education has been shown to have positive effects. While private class and school class which have offered in off-line to cope with rapid changes caused various problems such as decline in quality for education. Due to the characteristic of design class, practical training is important. As interactive feedback between students and educators is more important than one-way of delivering knowledge while class is conducted in online, educators have a challenge when they prepare for class. This study handles the methods of online education for the purpose of practical education methods in university nowadays, Especially, the non-face-to-face education methods for game animation production. Based on this study, I propose an effective educational method with non-face-to-face class that allows students to be satisfied and increases their knowledge, beyond face-to-face class.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the educational effect of non-face-to-face classes in elementary school social studies using Minecraft. the fourth grade of elementary school is divided into experimental and control groups, and social studies using Minecraft are conducted for one semester. As a result of the study, the experimental group students who experienced elementary social studies classes using Minecraft showed a significant increase in achievement, learning attitude, and sense of place compared to the control group, focusing on questions, explanations, and opinions in the Minecraft virtual space It was confirmed that they were cooperating with each other.

As technological changes continue to accelerate every day, meeting the needs of a shifting educational landscape requires leaving an exclusively "in-person" education behind. Gamified learning environments should be carefully designed in light of conflicting studies to suit students' needs. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to draw conclusive results regarding the application of the most commonly used game elements in education, i.e., badges and leaderboards, through a comprehensive analysis of their impact on academic performance in online learning. Review Manager (RevMan 5.4) was used to analyze eligible studies selected from Emerald, SAGE, ERIC, EBSCO, and ProQuest between January 2011 and January 2022. Analyzing 37 studies found that using leaderboards and badges in online education enhanced academic performance when compared to traditional learning without gamification (SMD = 0.39). The badge-only intervention showed a larger effect size (SMD = 0.33) than the leaderboard-only intervention (SMD = 0.27). Badges and leaderboards together exhibited a larger effect size (SMD = 0.48) than individual game elements (SMD = 0.40). The impact of the game elements on academic performance was greater in the humanities (SMD = 0.51) than in STEM fields (SMD = 0.32) and was greater for K-12 students (SMD = 0.63) than for college students (SMD = 0.31). This study contributes to a timely discussion of the use of badges and leaderboards in COVID-19 online learning trends and provides relevant data for designing integrations of online education and gamification models.

A Serious Game helps the learners to recognize the problems effectively, grasp and classify important information needed to solve the problems and convey the contents of what they have learned. Owing not only to this game-like fun but also to the educational effect, The Serious Game can be usefully applied to education and training in the areas of scientific technology and industrial technology. This study proposes the Serious Game that users can apply to biotechnology by using intuitive multi-modal interfaces. In this study, a stereoscopic monitor is used to make three dimensional molecular structures, and multi-modal interface is used to efficiently control. Based on a such system, this study easily solved the docking simulation function, which is one of the important experiments, by applying these game factors. For this, we suggested the level-up concept as a game factor that depends on numbers of objects and users. The proposed system was evaluated in performance comparison in result time of a new drug design process on AIDS virus with previous approach.

Children interest themselves in all different toys they see, before beginning to speak. The psychological reasons for children′s interest in toys have been investigated for a long time. Thus many scientists have studied on the question "what is game？", but they have not reached a consensus yet. Such contradiction may be dependent upon different points of view of the researchers about game. Besides, the view of game of a child and an adult is different too. According to an adult game is a rebirth and escape from monotony. For child it is a work. The aim of this study is to make mathematics regarding a mass of abstract concepts for the students of grade 1-3 of primary school in the concrete operations period, more attractive with the help of educational and instructional games, and to contribute to student′s developing. The capability of thinking and producing by changing abstract concepts into concrete ones.

A smartphone is a mobile device that has smiler to the computing power of the PC. People who use smartphone applications are increasing and there are a lot of applications for smartphones. Applications for educational games and hence of Korean traditional culture are still insufficient. To do this, we develop Gonu which is a traditional game.

게임의 순기능을 이용해 교육, 훈련, 치료 등의 목적으로 개발된 기능성 게임은 이용자들의 게임 선택을 위해 게임의 품질과 관련된 정확한 정보가 제공되는 것이 중요하다. 기능성게임의 품질을 평가하기 위한 기술적, 비기술적 영역 가운데 비기술적 영역은 기능성게임의 종류를 반영한 요소들로 구성된다. 본 연구는 교육용 기능성 게임의 비기술적 품질 평가 영역을 추출하고 이를 검증하였다. 본 연구를 위해 사용된 방법론은 다른 종류의 기능성 게임의 품질평가 요소 추출을 위한 가이드 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 향 후 본 연구의 결과를 이용하여 교육용 기능성 게임의 품질 평가 메트릭을 개발할 예정이다.

Modern technology offers many ways to enhance teaching and learning that in turn promote the development of tools for educational activities both inside and outside the classroom. Many educational programs using the augmented reality (AR) technology are being widely used to provide supplementary learning materials for students. This paper describes the potential and challenges of using GeoGebra AR in mathematical studies, whereby students can view 3D geometric objects for a better understanding of their structure, and verifies the feasibility of its use based on experimental results. The GeoGebra software can be used to draw geometric objects, and 3D geometric objects can be viewed using AR software or AR applications on mobile phones or computer tablets. These could provide some of the required materials for mathematical education at high schools or universities. The use of the GeoGebra application for education in Laos will be particularly discussed in this paper.
