This study aims to depict how academic expert evaluation was conducted to develop a rubric for measuring children’s 21st century skills when designing digital games. The 21st century skills that are related to game design are i) learning skills and innovation; ii) information, media and technology skills; and iii) life and career development skills. The rubric was developed based on cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains of learning. Six academic experts in the field of children’s education, educational measurement and educational technology for children were recruited as evaluators of this rubric. Cohen’s Kappa Coefficient formula was used to validate the results. The finding showed that each skill level should measure analytically and specifically based on game design activity. Researchers also found that children’s skill can be enhanced by adopting the concept of digital game-based learning (DGBL), especially through game design activity. The rubric of children’s ski.....

The activities of urban farming in Southeast Asia are still very limited and dispersed. In order to give valuable insights in relation to urban farming activities in Southeast Asia and to support researchers, there is a need to know in details the available options and gaps in this research direction. Thus, this study is conducted using a structured literature review to provide a coherent taxonomy and future research direction. This research focuses on the following subject matters: urban farming activities, technology application for urban farming and their use in the urban farms and smallholder farming activities in Southeast Asia. The process of reviewing literatures started with selecting the three major digital databases, namely, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus. The study selection process consists of research into literature sources, followed by three iterations of screening and filtering, excluded duplicate articles, screening the titles and abstracts and reading of th.....

Gamification in higher education is a new way in the learning environment for the 21st century. It has become an effective pedagogical tool to increase students’ involvement through immediate feedback on learning activities that allow them to reflect on what they are learning. The use of games as a pedagogical strategy is the basis for student-centered pedagogy as theyhelp promote a flexible teaching and learning environment that is in line with the curriculum stated in counselor  .To date, little research has been carried out that incorporates games in multicultural counseling pedagogy; hence, research needs to be conducted pertaining to this aspect. The article will highlight the development of a multicultural counseling gamification module known as “Immerze” based on the Gamified E-learning Design Process Model proposed by Malas and Hamtini. The Gamified E-learning design process consists of five stages; Planning, Design, Development, Deployment and Review. The article highli.....

Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative technology that immerses users within its environment, holding significant potential across various sectors, including education. Developing a VR-based application in the form of a game for educational purposes necessitates a usability evaluation. This study aims to develop and evaluate usability of a VR game, CT Saber, designed explicitly for learning computational thinking (CT). The name CT Saber is inspired by the popular VR game Beat Saber, with 'CT' denoting computational thinking to emphasize the educational focus of the game. The research employed a Design and Development Research (DDR) approach, encompassing four stages: analysis & definition, design, development, and evaluation. To assess the usability of CT Saber, pilot testing was carried out involving 36 participants (24 male, 12 female) of computer science students aged between 19-22 years. The USE Questionnaire framework was used to evaluate usability, consisting of four variables: us.....

This study aimed to investigate the usability of interactive whiteboard technology (Smartboard) as a tool to collect and gather data and next, to build an alternative method in doing research particularly in children and design field. The usability study will focus on three main aspects which are children, interaction and the features of Smartboard itself. The approach used is fun and enjoyable which will increase the involvement of children as active participants in research to contribute more accurate and meaningful data. An application using SMART Notebook software, entitled 'Introduction of Icon' has been developed based on DDD-E instructional design model. Target users for this research were primary school children aged 7 to 12 years old in Tanjung Malim area. Nine children were individually tested in a lab on this application. Effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction are the main aspects emphasized to measure the usability of application and this technology. Four type.....
