Learners' Perceptions and Illusions of Adaptivity in Computer-Based Learning Environments
Mieke Vandewaetere; Sylke Vandercruysse; Geraldine Clarebout
Educational Technology Research and Development Vol. 60, No. 2 (April 2012) pp. 307–324
Research on computer-based adaptive learning environments has shown exemplary growth. Although the mechanisms of effective adaptive instruction are unraveled systematically, little is known about the relative effect of learners' perceptions of...

Competition and Students' Perceptions in a Game-Based Language Learning Environment
Sylke Vandercruysse; Mieke Vandewaetere; Frederik Cornillie; Geraldine Clarebout
Educational Technology Research and Development Vol. 61, No. 6 (December 2013) pp. 927–950
Although educational games have become quite popular in recent research, only a limited number of studies have focused on the effectiveness of these games. While numerous claims have been made about the effectiveness of games, the studies that...

Computer game-based mathematics education: Embedded faded worked examples facilitate knowledge acquisition
Judith ter Vrugte; Ton de Jong; Sylke Vandercruysse; Pieter Wouters; Herre van Oostendorp; Jan Elen
Learning and Instruction Vol. 50, No. 1 (August 2017) pp. 44–53
This study addresses the added value of faded worked examples in a computer game-based learning environment. The faded worked examples were introduced to encourage active selection and processing of domain content in the game. The content of the...

How competition and heterogeneous collaboration interact in prevocational game-based mathematics education
Judith ter Vrugte; Ton de Jong; Sylke Vandercruysse; Pieter Wouters; Herre van Oostendorp; Jan Elen
Computers & Education Vol. 89, No. 1 (November 2015) pp. 42–52
The present study addresses the effectiveness of an educational mathematics game for improving proportional reasoning in students from prevocational education. Though in theory game-based learning is promising, research shows that results are...
