Research articles reporting on these factors, however, tend to focus on select serious game elements and do not combine all salient factors for successful learning with serious games. Recently, I was doing some work for a peer-reviewed article and came across this interesting piece. Good guildelines for creating serious learning games.

All current reviews of adequately designed and peer-reviewed research have found NO learning or motivational benefits from games. The research shows that people can learn from games.

A recent article in Wired presented an interesting research finding. After the game was over, participants waited as the researcher then “accidently” spilled a cup of pens a few feet away. Other research has shown that pro-social games—games where the player is helping others—have a positive influence on pro-social behavior.

2) Does research prove that serious games really promote learning (and maybe retention) as well as–or better–than traditional learning? Research can only provide evidence to support hypothesis or ideas but can’t prove something. So research needs to be a guideline but can’t be taken as “proving” anything.

It is a way of aggregating research data to make informed conclusions rather than relying on the data of one study. However, until now research has shown little evidence for these assumptions. However, the results provide strong evidence of publication bias in simulation games research. A meta-analysis is a study of studies.
