  • Motivational Scaffolding Through Digital Gamification in Early Childhood Science Teacher Education

    Open AccessGerard Guimerà-Ballesta, Gregorio Jiménez Valverde et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2026

    Digital gamification may function as motivational scaffolding within situated course designs when it helps learners perceive progress, participate actively, and connect course activities with meaningful professional goals. This article examines how motivational scaffolds were designed and refined through digital gamification in a fourth-year science course in early childhood teacher education. Using a two-cycle design-based research approach, the…

  • Baseline Views of Preservice Physics Teachers on Inquiry-Based Approaches and Their Connection with Nature of Science Conceptions

    Open AccessGregorio Jiménez Valverde, Gregorio Jiménez-Valverde et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2026

    Despite broad consensus on the benefits of inquiry-based science education (IBSE), its implementation remains limited in secondary physics classrooms, partly due to naïve conceptions of the Nature of Science (NoS). This quantitative study characterizes preservice physics teachers’ (N = 26) initial NoS conceptions and views on IBSE at program entry and examines how specific epistemological beliefs relate to perceived implementation barriers in a s…

  • Pre-service teachers’ social representations of climate change and biodiversity

    Genina Calafell, Genina Calafell-Subirà et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

    Purposes This study aims to explore pre-service teachers’ social representations of climate change and biodiversity (sustainable development goals [SDGs] 13, 14 and 15) to identify barriers and opportunities for strengthening education for sustainable development (ESD) in initial teacher education. Design/methodology/approach Adopting an interpretivist stance and a multiple-case design, the authors administered a mixed-methods questionnaire to 13…

  • Gamificación digital o analógica? Comparación en cuanto a motivación y aprendizaje percibidos, ansiedad y adicción

    Open AccessNoëlle Fabre Mitjans, Gregorio Jiménez Valverde et al.ARTICLEProfesorado Revista de Currículum…2026

    Existen pocos estudios que centran su interés en comparar la gamificación digital y la gamificación analógica, así como su impacto sobre la ansiedad y la adicción. Partiendo de esta situación, en la presente investigación se pretendió comparar la motivación y el aprendizaje percibidos por el alumnado del Grado de Maestro de Educación Infantil dependiendo de si habían realizado una sesión gamificada digitalmente, gamificada analógicamente o sin ga…

  • Tailoring Gamification in a Science Course to Enhance Intrinsic Motivation in Preservice Primary Teachers

    Open AccessGregorio Jiménez Valverde, Noëlle Fabre-Mitjans et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2025

    This study examines the intrinsic motivation of preservice primary teachers in a science education course designed with player-type personalization in gamification strategies. Using a mixed-methods approach, a one-group post-test-only design was combined with qualitative analysis. Game elements were personalized based on the HEXAD user typologies, aligning with Self-Determination Theory to support autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Quantitati…

  • Gamifying Teacher Education with FantasyClass

    Open AccessGregorio Jiménez Valverde, Carlos Heras-Paniagua et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2024

    This study investigates the impact of structural gamification, using the digital platform FantasyClass, on the attitudes and motivation of preservice primary education teachers towards physics and chemistry. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis involving 65 second-year university students over a 14-week course. The quantitative component was framed within a quasi-exper…
