    Gameful Learning for a More Sustainable World
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 64, No. 4, 2022) Hoffmann, Greta; Pfeiffer, Jella
    Municipal waste sorting is an important but neglected topic within sustainability-oriented Information Systems research. Most waste management systems depend on the quality of their citizens pre-sorting but lack teaching resources. Thus, it is important to raise awareness and knowledge on correct waste sorting to strengthen current efforts. Having shown promising results in raising learning outcomes and motivation in domains like health and economics, gamification is an auspicious approach to address this problem. The paper explores the effectiveness of gameful design on learning outcomes of waste sorting knowledge with a mobile game app that implements two different learning strategies: repetition and elaboration. In a laboratory experiment, the overall learning outcome of participants who trained with the game was compared to that of participants who trained with standard analogue non-game materials. Furthermore, the effects of two additional, learning-enhancing design elements – repetition and look-up – were analyzed. Learning outcome in terms of long-term retention and knowledge transfer were evaluated through three different testing measures two weeks after the training: in-game, through a multiple-choice test and real-life sorting. The results show that the game significantly enhanced the learning outcome of waste sorting knowledge for all measures, which is particularly remarkable for the real-life measure, as similar studies were not successful with regard to knowledge transfer to real life. Furthermore, look-up is found to be a promising game design element that is not yet established in IS literature and therefore should be considered more thoroughly in future research and practical implementations alike.

    Kollaboration oder Wettbewerb: ein Vergleich der Motivation beim Game-based Learning
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 56, No. 1, 2019) Eckardt, Linda; Finster, Rebecca
    Spielerisches Lernen ist ein aktueller Trend. Sogenanntes Game-based Learning (GBL) führt zu einer positiven Beeinflussung von Spaß, Motivation und Engagement. In entsprechenden Anwendungen sind jedoch häufiger Wettbewerbselemente als kollaborative Elemente integriert, obwohl dies negative Auswirkungen auf ein erfolgreiches Lernen haben kann. In diesem Beitrag wird daher untersucht, ob eine GBL Anwendung nur mit Kollaboration genauso motiviert zu lernen, wie eine Anwendung mit Kollaboration und Wettbewerb. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen, dass kollaboratives GBL genauso motiviert wie GBL mit einer Kombination aus Kollaboration und Wettbewerb. Playful learning is a current trend. Game-based learning (GBL) leads to a positive influence on fun, motivation and commitment. In such applications, competitive elements are more often integrated than collaborative elements, although this can have negative effects on successful learning. Therefore, we examine in this paper, whether a GBL application with collaboration is as motivating for learning as an application with a combination of collaboration and competition. The results of the study show that collaborative GBL is as motivating as GBL is with a combination of collaboration and competition.
