Supplementary material for the article 'A Comparison of the Usefulness of Game-Based Learning and Video-Based Learning for Teaching Software Engineering in Online Environments' with DOI 10.1109/FIE58773.2023.10343449. The dataset contains anonymized records for 193 software engineering students, split into a control group of 45 using video-based learning and an experimental group of 148 using game-based learning. Data includes pre-test and post-test scores, learning gains, age, gender, a 9-item perceptions questionnaire, and student comments in Spanish.
Use Cases
- Compare learning gains between game-based and video-based instructional methods based on pre-test and post-test scores.
- Analyze student perceptions of different online learning modalities based on the 9-item questionnaire results.
- Investigate demographic factors like age and gender in relation to learning outcomes for software engineering topics.
- Perform qualitative analysis of student feedback on learning methods based on the Spanish-language comments.
Strengths
- Contains data for 193 students, providing a substantial sample for analysis.
- Includes both quantitative performance metrics (test scores, learning gains) and qualitative feedback (comments).
- Data is explicitly anonymized to protect participant identity.
- Clearly defines two distinct intervention groups (45 control, 148 experimental) for comparative study.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown for individual sheets, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect temporal and institutional bias inherent to the specific study context.
