Effects of Using an Instructional Game on Motivation and Performance.
Klein, James D.; Freitag, Eric
Journal of Educational Research, v84 n5 p303-08 May-Jun 1991
Researchers investigated the effects of an instructional game and supplemental reading on undergraduate students' motivation and performance. Two groups used either a worksheet or a board game to practice materials learned via lecture. The game significantly affected four motivational components (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) but not performance. Supplemental reading influenced both. (SM)
