Last Update: March 19th, 2025

As researchers have done before, they categorize computer/network game players into several styles according to the players' behaviours and interests. For example, the 'explorer' style's player likes to know everythin in the virtual world and makes himself/herself as an encyclopedia of the game. Similar to player styles, as we know, students also have different learning styles. This research also requires researchers developing two questionnaires for diagnosing the student's player styles and learning styles, furthermore, verifying the proposed mapping methodology between the student's player styles and learning styles. The objectives of this research are: find player styles through integrating and surveying enough previous research results find learning styles through integrateing and surveying enough previous research results find the relations and design a mapping methodology between different player styles and learning styles suggest game-based learning researchers what kind of educational games they should develop for different learning subjects and different style students suggest ubiquitous/pervasive/mobile learning researchers what kind of educational activities they should design for different learning subjects and different style students For essay route students, the focus could be working on the systematic literature review for Objective #4 OR Objective #5. For project route students, the focus would be Objectives #1 to #4 OR Objective #1 to #3 + #5. For thesis route students, the focus would cover all the objectives above.
