A Meta-analysis of the Impact of Digital Educational Games on Reading Ability:Evidence from 35 Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Studies
The academic research conclusions are not unanimous on the impact of educational games on students'reading ability.Using the meta-analysis method to conduct overall and moderating effect analysis on 35 experimental and quasi-experimental studies both domestically and internationally from 2009 to 2022,it indicates that educational games have a moderately strong impact on students'reading ability.The impact of educational games on students'reading ability is influenced by different stages.There are differences in the moderating effects of variables such as game type,game participation methods,teacher intervention,text language of reading materials,experimental period,and evaluation tools on reading ability.Based on the meta-analysis results,it is important to build a gaming reading community based on the meta-analysis results.Balancing the knowledge and fun of educational games is crucial.Designing educational games according to different phases is of paramount importance.Increasing empirical research and application scope of educational games is significant.
