ClearMobile Augmented Reality Games Towards Smart Learning City Environments: Learning About Sustainability
This study explored how mobile augmented reality games can teach sustainability concepts, including environmental pollution from plastics, within smart city learning environments. Students who played location-based AR games showed increased awareness of environmental protection and sustainability issues. The research suggests that gamified learning tools could be effective at raising public awareness about environmental challenges including plastic pollution.
"raising Students’ Awareness About Nature Conservation: from the Park to the City"
This paper presents the EduCITY project, which uses mobile devices, augmented reality, and outdoor games to teach students about nature conservation and environmental sustainability. The approach brings environmental education out of the classroom into urban and natural settings. The project is relevant to microplastics awareness as it promotes environmental literacy in school-age children.
Mobile Augmented Reality Games Towards Smart Learning City Environments: Learning Sustainability with the [Project’s Name] App
This study evaluated mobile augmented reality games as educational tools for teaching sustainability competencies in a smart learning city context, with one module addressing plastic pollution and microplastic awareness among urban residents and students.
Gamification and ocean literacy in early secondary education
This study evaluated the use of a gamified mobile app to improve ocean literacy and environmental awareness in secondary school students. Engaging young people about ocean health through digital games could help build understanding of microplastic pollution and motivate behavior change.
Designing Educational Game to Increase Environmental Awareness
Researchers designed an educational video game to raise environmental awareness about plastic waste and ocean pollution in Indonesian students. The game showed measurable improvements in environmental knowledge and pro-environmental attitudes among players.
Promoting Sustainable Behavior Using Serious Games: SeAdventure for Ocean Literacy
This study evaluated a serious video game called SeAdventure designed to improve ocean literacy and promote sustainable behavior around marine plastic pollution. Results indicated that game-based education can effectively increase environmental awareness and motivation for pro-ocean actions among players.
"raising Students’ Awareness About Nature Conservation: from the Park to the City"
This is a duplicate entry for the EduCITY project paper (same as 45586), describing the use of mobile learning, augmented reality, and environmental sensors to raise student awareness about nature conservation. The project combines digital tools with outdoor exploration to promote sustainable development education. Environmental education initiatives are important for cultivating the behavior changes needed to address plastic pollution.
Learning Effects of Augmented Reality and Game-Based Learning for Science Teaching in Higher Education in the Context of Education for Sustainable Development
Researchers tested an augmented reality game-based learning environment called 'Beat the Beast' to teach university students about microplastics across biology, chemistry, and engineering disciplines. A study of 203 pre-service teachers compared settings with and without augmented reality and game elements to measure effects on motivation, knowledge, and sustainability outcomes. The findings contribute to understanding how emerging educational technologies can support interdisciplinary science teaching about environmental topics.
Designing and Developing Digital Computer Game of Plastic Waste Awareness for Young Children
Researchers designed a digital educational computer game to raise plastic waste awareness among young children, using character-driven gameplay to teach waste management behaviors. The game was developed through iterative visual design and tested for its ability to engage children and build positive attitudes toward reducing plastic pollution.
Educational games about the environment: The microplastics escape game OCEAN EYE
Researchers developed and evaluated the OCEAN EYE microplastics escape game as an educational intervention targeting awareness and pro-environmental behavior among Austrian participants aged 15 and older, designing an evaluation framework to measure feasibility, willingness to act against microplastic pollution, and overall player experience.
Application of gamification in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education: thematic analysis
This systematic review of 24 studies found that gamification in early childhood and primary education improved academic skills, collaboration, and student motivation across subjects. This study is not related to microplastics or environmental health but was included in the dataset due to its classification as a systematic review.
“From Gamers into Environmental Citizens”: A Systematic Literature Review of Empirical Research on Behavior Change Games for Environmental Citizenship
This systematic review of 15 years of empirical research found that behavior change games can promote pro-environmental attitudes and knowledge, though evidence for lasting behavioral change remains limited. The findings are relevant to microplastic reduction efforts because they suggest that gamified interventions may raise awareness about plastic pollution but need stronger design to drive sustained reductions in plastic consumption.
Cross Platform Waste Reuse, Reduce And Recycle Management Application With Prototyping Methodology
Researchers developed a cross-platform waste management application using a prototyping methodology that incentivizes users to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic waste by offering rewards for environmentally responsible behavior. The study addressed the lack of public motivation for 3R adoption by building a reward-based digital tool to increase community participation in plastic waste reduction.
«Let’s Go Deep into the Game to Save Our Planet!» How an Immersive and Educational Video Game Reduces Psychological Distance and Raises Awareness
Researchers found that an immersive educational video game about plastic pollution effectively reduced psychological distance and increased awareness among players, suggesting that interactive media can be a powerful tool for environmental education beyond traditional climate change messaging.
Game-Based Solutions and the Plastic Problem: A Systematic Review
This systematic review looks at whether games and game-based tools can help people reduce plastic use and pollution. It found that while games can boost awareness and motivation around the plastic problem, there is limited evidence so far that they lead to lasting behavior change. The review highlights that creative approaches are needed to help people take action on reducing plastic waste.
Design of an Intrinsically Motivating AR Experience for Environmental Awareness
Researchers designed an augmented reality learning experience called 'Resized Plastic' to raise environmental awareness about microplastics by leveraging intrinsic motivation principles. The experience was built on Dunleavy's AR framework to provide users with a systemic overview of the microplastics issue and connect it to everyday actions.
The role of youth adventure programs for shaping a conservation ethic
This research examined how youth outdoor adventure programs foster conservation ethics and pro-environmental behaviors in participants that persist into adulthood. Environmental education that builds emotional connections to nature is important for developing the next generation of advocates for reducing plastic and microplastic pollution.
Persuade Oscar, the Grouch: A Design Approach for a Persuasive Gamified Smart Waste App
Researchers developed a design theory for persuasive gamified smart waste apps (SWAs) aimed at changing citizens' littering behavior, following a six-step design science approach including literature review and expert workshops. The study identified design principles and persuasive elements that could enhance internal motivation for correct litter disposal in urban smart city contexts.
