Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Serious Game-Based Learning Framework To Improve Programming Skills and Knowledge Levels of Individuals - Cengo(CEUR-WS, 2017) Giileg, U.; Yılmaz, Murat; Yilmaz, M.; Gozcü, M.A.; Yazılım MühendisliğiGames offer alternative ways for individuals to learn and repeat information in a fun way so that individuals can learn new information about a subject. In this study, a game-based learning framework was designed to teach the syntax and logic of computer programming to students who do not know any programming languages. The aim of this system is to increase the level of knowledge of students about the C programming language by encouraging them to draw more interest from the traditional methods and to work on them more. The study was developed with mixed research methodology, which is a combination of both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The qualitative research part of the study was completed in the game design phase by obtaining the opinions of experts who have at least 10 years of experience in the C programming language through interviews. In order to complete the quantitative part of the study, participants were asked to questions about the topics of "Fundamentals of Computer Engineering" in Cankaya University Computer Engineering Department first class curriculum and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by traditional methods. According to these results, this game can be used to train students about C programming language in a fun way.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Cengo: a Web-Based Serious Game To Increase the Programming Knowledge Levels of Computer Engineering Students(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Yalcin, Alihan Dogus; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul M.; Gulec, Ulas; Yilmaz, Murat; O’Connor, Rory V.In recent years there has been an increased use of serious games to help increase the level of knowledge and experience of individuals working in different domains. In particular serious games for educational purposes have been used in many domains including software engineering and computer science [1]. Hence, this study proposes a quantitative research approach to increase the programming knowledge levels of the first-year undergraduate students at computer engineering departments. For this aim, a responsive web platform was developed to teach the syntax and logic of the C programming language by using game elements. This environment provided students with an ability to independently investigate the C programming language continuously since the platform is always accessible. To better understand the effectiveness of the designed environment, 10 first-year computer engineering students were selected as a pilot experimental group. According to the results obtained from the user tests, this game can be used as an educational tool, which supports the traditional training methods, to increase the knowledge levels of students about the syntax and logic of the C programming language.
