Gamification is commonly used for improving student learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors that influence the acceptance of gamification in learning. The paper employs a meta-analysis approach to identify the factors that affect students’ acceptance of gamified learning. The benefit of meta-analysis is its ability to synthesize and utilize the results obtained from various primary research papers to discover the critical factors that influence the acceptance of game design elements in online courses. The PRISMA protocol was used to analyze the meta-analysis. While much research has been done on gamified learning, there is a lack of meta-analysis research on the acceptance of gamified learning elements. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that performance expectancy, student satisfaction, and social interaction are the critical factors influencing the acceptance of gamified learning. These results are beneficial because they not only focus on learning but also provide an opportunity for industry experts to be aware of the critical factors that influence the acceptance of gamified learning. This paper’s novelty lies in its analysis of statistical heterogeneity, effect size, and publication bias across research that employed various statistical techniques.

Students frequently encounter alternative conceptions regarding physics, both before and after studying physics concepts. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the PODEW (Predict, Observe, Discuss, Explain, Write) strategy integrated with analogy-based learning in addressing these misconceptions. A mixed-method explanatory model was employed, involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using ANCOVA, N-Gain calculations, and effect size measurements. Qualitative data were obtained via interviews with selected students to provide further insights into the findings. The study involved 60 high school students from State Senior High School of Pandewu 1, with Grade 10 Science-1 (experimental group) utilizing the PODEW strategy with analogy and Grade 10 Science-2 (control group) employing the PODEW strategy without analogy. Results indicated a significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving an N-Gain score of 0.64 compared to 0.48 in the control group, indicating greater improvement in addressing alternative conceptions. Despite these improvements, some students in the experimental group shifted from scientific understanding to alternative conceptions, suggesting the need for further refinement of the strategy. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of the PODEW strategy with analogy in reducing misconceptions and improving students' conceptual understanding of Newton's Laws.

War, violence, disasters, sudden loss, serious illness, and other overwhelming and disturbing events constitute traumatic events. For learners with physical disabilities, trauma may result from the loss of function of a body part or previous exposure to violence. Attention is paid to the application of the trauma-informed approach in trying to curb school violence. This paper discusses the trauma-informed approach to school violence interventions for learners with physical disabilities. The article sought to explore the use of the trauma-informed approach to address school violence affecting learners with physical disabilities. The paper is built on the findings from my doctoral thesis on the effectiveness of interventions to control school violence in a special needs school. This paper uses secondary data sources such as journals and books as well as data from doctoral research. These will be discussed with the findings from the previous doctoral research. It was revealed that although there are policies put in place to address school safety, the rate of school violence is escalating. Against this background, there is a need to address school violence from a trauma-informed approach. The trauma-informed perspective will help to prevent violence and suggest interventions. It will also guide educators on how to support learners, victims, or perpetrators of school violence. By offering data based on research on the use of trauma-informed approaches as an alternative method of school violence intervention, this study contributes to the body of knowledge. It gives the stakeholders suggestions for how to care for and educate vulnerable children.
