Title
A learning cycle approach to developing educational computer game for improving students' learning and awareness in electric energy consumption and conservation
Abstract
Educating on the knowledge of electric energy consumption and conservation has been becoming a focus and
rather urgent issue in energy education. Although
several researchers have attempted to apply teaching and
learning strategies to promote students’
conceptual understanding on the topic,
they still have sub
-
optimal
conceptual understanding of what the major factors of energy consumption are. This led to
less awareness of
electric energy conservation. With the benefit of educational computer game in motivating students’ learning,
this study developed a computer game based on a learning cycle approach for assisting learning on the topic.
When using the comp
uter game, the students were encouraged to use electrical appliances for certain durations.
To examine the effectiveness of the computer game, the study
was conducted with 129 tenth grade students in
eastern Bhutan. The experimental results showed that the
computer game significantly improved the students’
learning achievement on energy consumption as well as their awareness on electric energy conservation.
