| Popis: | 105 In recent years, with the increasing development and prevalence of digital game-based learning and digital badges, how to effectively and efficiently help learners acquire the largest learning outcomes is a crucial question worth deep investigation. A digital game-based English learning system was employed in the current study to examine the effects of different teaching methods on students’ learning performance and learning satisfaction. The study also probed into the relationship between digital badge mechanism and learning performance as well as learning satisfaction. The participants were 49 fourth graders (23 males and 26 females) from three classes in an elementary school in Taoyuan City. Pre-test, post-test, and delay post-test were adopted to examine students’ learning performance and learning satisfaction. The three classes were divided into two experiment groups (Group A and Group B) and one control group (Group C). While Group A adopted a digital game-based English learning system with digital badge mechanism, Group B adopted the same system without digital badge mechanism. Students in Group C learned through a conventional textbook-based instruction. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results revealed that the proposed digital game-based English learning significantly enhanced students’ English learning performance and learning satisfaction. Furthermore, digital badge mechanism enabled students to learn with personal goals, thus leading to better learning performance. The question practice times and badge collection also facilitated English learning performance.The combination of digital game-based English learning system and English textbooks used in elementary schools effectively enhanced students’ English learning satisfaction and performance. |
