Background: Hemophilia is a chronic bleeding disease and can interfere with daily performance of children. These children require continuous training to prevent bleeding. Since children nurses play an important role in the education of sick children and their self-efficacy and the increase use of educational computer games, the use of educational games for teaching self-efficacy to children wit...

Background & Objective: This study contributed to the current body of literature on educational games by comparing medical students’ flow experience in three types of educational games developed based on three learning theories: behavioral, cognitive, and social. Materials & Methods: A quasi-experimental repeated measure design was employed. A total of 39 second-year medical students played th...

In recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding the adaptive (ultimate) and mechanistic (proximate) explanations for the evolution and maintenance of cooperation. Studies of cooperative behaviour in humans invariably use economic games. These games have provided important insights into the mechanisms that maintain economic and social cooperation in our species. However, th...

The purpose of this research is to get students’ opinions on teaching programming students with the help educational games in conditions additional education computer science. In order carry out study accordance main purpose, phenomenological approach, one qualitative methods, was used. participant group consists 40 studying science departments at various universities Kazakhstan.

Video games and problem-based learning (PBL) are both significant trends in progressive approaches to education. The literature demonstrates a fit between the two approaches, indicating they may be mutually beneficial. With limited literature on implementing games in the classroom, and a growing body of researchers highlighting the importance of the teacher in mediating game use and maximizing ...

Coevolutionary game dynamics is the result of players that may change their strategies and their network of interaction. For such games, and based on interpreting strategies as configurations, strategy– to–payoff maps can be defined for every interaction network, which opens up to derive game landscapes. This paper presents an analysis of these game landscapes by their information content. By t...

We study the problem of computing Nash equilibria of zero-sum games. Many natural zerosum games have exponentially many strategies, but highly structured payoffs. For example, in the well-studied Colonel Blotto game (introduced by Borel in 1921), players must divide a pool of troops among a set of battlefields with the goal of winning (i.e., having more troops in) a majority. The Colonel Blotto...
