Plastic is a versatile material that is inexpensive and has the characteristics of being lightweight, strong, durable, anti-corrosive, with high thermal and electrical insulation properties. Regardless of the positive impact on economic development, it brings negative impacts on the environment. The amount of plastic waste, that continues to increase, pollutes the environment and ocean chronically. There needs to be a change in people behavior and awareness to reduce the use of it. In fact, raising awareness of the environment from the dangers of plastic waste is not an easy matter, but if taught since childhood, good environmental awareness and habits will be formed. This research tried to raise awareness among elementary school children in Indonesia of the dangers of plastic waste through an educational game developed using the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC). GDLC consists of six phases: initiation, pre-production, production, testing, beta, and release. Strategy genre was chosen for engaging gameplay. Environmental awareness and knowledge on the danger of plastic waste were given integrally through storylines, gameplay, goals, and animated cutscenes. The results of testing at the beta stage on the respondents showed that 71.11% of primary school student respondents gained environmental knowledge.

Abstract. This study aims to create an educational game for odd-even traffic rules in Jakarta on an android-based platform called "Tilang Ganjil Genap". This game was developed since there are still many traffic violations that occur in the society. One of the traffic violations that still often occurs is a traffic area violation on the odd-even rule in Jakarta. In fact, to handle this violation, traffic police are still lacking to raise the public awareness. Therefore, an educational game for traffic rules in odd-even areas was built using the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC) method with stages consisting of initiation, pre-production, production, trial, beta and release. This "Tilang Ganjil Genap" educational game aims to convey information about even odd traffic rules to the public through interesting and fun learning media. Based on the user trial results, it is found that 100% (14 users) state that this game provides a knowledge understanding about odd-even traffic rules area regulation.Keywords: Educational Games, Game Development Life Cycle, Odd Even Rule, AndroidAbstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun gim edukasi peraturan lalu lintas ganjil genap di Jakarta berbasis android yang diberi nama “Tilang Ganjil Genap”.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between evaluations of the educational game materials and poster practices by students’ own peers and by expert educators using the rubrics created by expert educators and students together. Study included 10 students and 3 educators attended educational game materials course. Students were informed about basic skills of movement, game, game types, game equipment, analytical rubric, and educational game lectures were given to the students for 6 weeks and 80 minutes each week. 12-question knowledge test was used regarding educational games, analytical scoring rubrics, developing game materials and preparing posters. Materials and posters presented in the course were recorded. Evaluation scales were selected by students and expert teachers. Selected peers and educators evaluated 25 videos. One-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis were used for the reliability and repeatability measurements of the students and teachers. R values of 0.96-0.92 were found between students and 0.78-0.86 between educators. For knowledge tests of the groups, according to Wilcoxon paired two-sample test, there was a significant difference in test results (p<.05). The t test was used in the results of the student and educator video evaluations and there was no significant difference between the scores given by the expert educators and the students to the material and poster presentations (p>.05). In conclusion, this study showed that students could make evaluations as good as expert educators when given an answer key such as a scoring rubric that will help them in the evaluation.

Japanese is a different language because it uses the letters Katakana and Hiragana. Japanese learning at the Kansai Vocational School Pekanbaru encountered several obstacles including the lack of learning facilities and a learning atmosphere that tends to be boring so that many students have difficulty learning and choosing to play games. Educational games on mobile devices are a new learning method that is considered to be more attractive to someone to learn. Fisher-Yates is a randomization technique on questions so questions that come out will be different and can be generated without repetition and duplication. Fuzzy Tsukamoto is a method used in decision-making to determine the score at the end of the quiz. From this research, it can be found that Fisher-Yates can determine the randomization solution that is not multiple and varied object randomization. Fuzzy Tsukamoto has a fairly good accuracy between calculations based on the system and calculations manually, although it does not show results that are 100% the same in each calculation. Educational game recognizing the letters Katakana and Hiragana is expected to help students overcome difficulties in understanding and learning Japanese related to the mastery of the letters Katakana and Hiragana.

This chapter explores prospective computer teachers’ perceptions of and experiences in goal-based scenario (GBS) centered 3D educational game development process. Twenty-six pre-service computer teachers who enrolled in a Design, Development and Evaluation of Educational Software undergraduate course formed the sample of this case study, and they, in groups, developed GBS-centered 3D educational games. The data were collected through GBS evaluation checklists, interviews, and formative evaluations. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers preferred GBS-centered educational games to traditional educational games. They declared that the most important feature of educational games was their contribution to motivation, attention, and retention. Although the majority of the groups developed their educational games in line with GBS, they had difficulty creating a realistic scenario and mission. Unlike what the literature indicates, one of the group’s formative evaluation results showed that while the second graders prefer realism, the sixth graders prefer more fantasy in the scenario.

The increasing availability of information and communication technology makes it possible to explore new concepts and strategies in teaching and learning processes. The reduction of cost and the amelioration of processing power of computers allow bringing to the classroom software of greater complexity. This way, the use of simple computer presentations is gradually replaced by hypermedia systems capable of combining different kinds of information. Interactive simulators represent a next step, allowing students to participate in an active process of experimentation. These tools make use of numeric models to represent the dynamics of systems with high accuracy. Video games can blend the numeric and media capabilities of computers with a presentation format that provides a pleasant experience and promotes a deep engagement in activities. These characteristics have a positive impact on learning results, explaining the interest on such software. The construction of educational games requires knowledge from very diverse fields, like pedagogy, cognitive psychology, computer graphics, simulation and software engineering. Each area of expertise has its own view from the issues involved; bringing together different professionals in a coherent manner can be a challenging task. This work describes tools to help organize the design and decisions during the implementation of an educational game. They facilitate the communication between project members, by documenting design options in different stages.
