Javora, Ondrej; Hannemann, Tereza; Volná, Kristina; Dechterenko, Filip; Tetourová, Tereza; Stárková, Tereza; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The present study investigates affective-motivational, attention, and learning effects of unexplored emotional design manipulation: "Contextual animation" (animation of contextual elements) in multimedia learning game (MLGs) for children. Participants (N = 134; M[subscript age] = 9.25; Grades 3 and 4) learned either from an experimental…

Javora, Ondrej; Dechterenko, Filip; Tetourová, Tereza; Volná, Kristina; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The instructional effects of customization features in child learning games have rarely been examined. This value-added study addresses the existing gap with regards to user-initiated cosmetic customization of environment elements (i.e., non-avatar customization). Participants (N = 143; M[subscript age] = 9.41) studied a biological topic for about…

Tetourová, Tereza; Hannemann, Tereza; Javora, Ondrej; Volná, Kristina; Šisler, Vít; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
We explored whether problem-solving interactivity within an instructional game fosters learning for children aged 8-10 years. Participants (N=139) studied a biological topic either through a game-based learning environment (in which they solved assigned problems by interacting with a plant model) or from a standard learning environment (in which…

Stárková, Tereza; Lukavský, Jirí; Javora, Ondrej; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Anthropomorphizing graphical elements in multimedia learning materials improves learning outcomes. The reasons for enhanced learning are unclear. We extended a seminal anthropomorphism study in order to examine whether the effect of anthropomorphisms on learning outcomes, both immediate and delayed, is caused by the anthropomorphized elements'…
