Purpose: This research aims to compare the effects of the flipped learning method based on Merrill's model with the conventional teaching methods on the academic performance of fifth-grade students in mathematics education.Method: The statistical population of the research is all the fifth-grade students of the primary school in Islamshahr, Tehran, during the academic year 2018-2019. The data were through convenient sampling from students. The research method is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. Pham and Taylor's standard academic performance questionnaire (1999) was used as a measurement tool. The face validity of the tool was confirmed by experts in educational sciences and specialized teachers of mathematics, and its impact score was reported as 2.3, and the reliability of 0.72 was obtained using Cronbach's alpha. The data were analyzed using one-way ANCOVA and paired t-tests.Findings: The results showed that the flipped method designed based on Merrill's educational model had a greater impact on students' academic performance than its reported results in the literature. The implemented flipped method also affected students’ academic performance greater than the general conventional methods. In general, the findings indicate that teaching in the flipped method according to Merrill's design has a greater impact on the academic performance of students in mathematics than its traditional versions as well as the regular lecturing methods of teaching.Conclusion: It is argued that teachers and educational designers can enhance the effects of Merrill's model by integrating it into the flipped method classrooms

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the opinion of academic staff about the necessity of investment in E-learning development and the issues that are encountered with the investment of E-learning.Method: This research is a qualitative multi-method and has been done using two meta-synthesis qualitative and phenomenological designs. The meta-synthesis design was based on the six-step method of Sandlowski and Barroso (2007). Accordingly, the meta-synthesis team was formed with the presence of three curriculum planning experts and two meta-synthesis research experts. In the phenomenological method, the participants were 12 academic staff selected from Shiraz University in Iran and Sheffield Hallam University in the UK through purposive samples. A qualitative design was adopted using semi-structured interviews.Findings: In general, the analysis showed academic staff’s positive opinion about the necessity of E-learning development. Three main themes emerged after thematic analysis which showed that to develop E-learning three issues must be addressed: Technological-infrastructure issues, pedagogical issues, and cultural issues.Conclusion: The result has brought some different experiences and cultural issues. Both universities claimed that investment is worthwhile. But cultural issues are a subject that needs to be considered while investing in E-learning. It brings a good research area to explore cultural diversity and different attitudes in various cultures towards the development of E-learning.

Purpose: Despite progress in the world, education has not changed much compared to previous years, and despite the variety of teaching methods, poor learning is one of the challenges in education. Applying educational games in teaching and learning can be a solution to this problem. In the last decade, research has been conducted around the world to evaluate the effectiveness of educational games. A review of the literature is needed to examine the effectiveness of serious games in education, as the number of studies on serious games is increasing and some studies have tried to meta-analyze this issue.Method: For this purpose, the studies conducted on the effects of educational games are examined using the library method. Educational games, gamification, game, meta-analysis, and similar keywords were searched on Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, and 32 articles were selected and analyzed. The selected articles were reviewed in terms of positive findings, negative results, and effective factors in improving educational games.Findings: The results indicate the effectiveness of educational environments in the game in increasing the learning, participation, and motivation of learners.Conclusion: The present study tries to provide an overview of studies, especially meta-analytic studies in the field of game-making, although it was accompanied by limitations such as not reviewing studies published in a format other than journal articles and conferences. Research such as the present study can provide a broad perspective for the use and design of educational games in the educational process.

Purpose: The present study aimed to compare the effects of digital and face-to-face gamification on learning, recall, and motivation of English vocabulary.Method: We used the experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population of this research included all 7th-grade students in Heris City. The sample of the study were selected as available samples and after the pre-test were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (N:52): the first group used the digital form and the second group used the face-to-face form. The research tool was the researcher-made learning and recall test, as well as Keller's educational achievement motivation questionnaire.Finding: The results of covariance and independent t-test indicated that there is no significant difference in the amount of learning and also there is no significant difference between the average scores of students in the recall test in the experimental groups (t= 0.93, sig= 0.44). On the other hand, the results show a significant difference in the motivation test of the groups (t=2.64, sig=0.01). The students in the digital gamification group experienced more motivation during the experiment.Conclusion: Although the result of this research shows the lack of a significant effect of gamification on learning in both face-to-face and digital forms, the results indicated that applying game-based learning in the digital form increased motivation. The different effects of Game-based instruction of the two groups on motivation and the effect of the game on learning and the positive self-concept of learning is a valuable and practical finding.
