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.
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.
Game Save The Sea! as an Education Media to Prevent Water Pollution
An educational video game designed to teach players about water pollution—including plastic waste—was tested with Indonesian students. The game successfully increased environmental awareness and behavioral intentions around waste disposal.
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.
“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.
Mobile 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.
"value of Amobile Game-based App Towards Education for Sustainability"
This paper describes the EduPARK mobile app, which uses game-based learning to promote sustainability education in park environments. The tool encourages students to explore local ecosystems and learn environmental concepts through interactive play. Apps like this can build long-term pro-environmental attitudes that may reduce plastic waste behavior.
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.
Marine odyssey: a non-immersive virtual reality game for marine litter awareness / Hykarl Ukasyah Mohamad Azahar and Fadhlina Izzah Saman
Researchers developed a non-immersive virtual reality game called 'Marine Odyssey' aimed at raising public awareness about marine litter and its impacts, using a Game Development Life Cycle framework to build an educational game-based learning tool.
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.
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.
Ocean literacy and how serious games can play a part: the case of the jellyfish and the microplastics governance game MoreGoJelly!
Researchers developed and evaluated 'MoreGoJelly!', a serious game focused on jellyfish and microplastics governance, as a tool to enhance ocean literacy among the public. The study reviewed the history of serious games for ocean education since the 1970s and presented outcomes from a series of game deployments, finding that hybrid and analogue game formats are increasingly relevant alongside digital approaches.
Sensory Virtual Interaction Design Based on the Impact of Microplastics on Ecosystem
Researchers designed a virtual reality interactive experience that communicates the impact of microplastics on ecosystems to audiences. Using immersive virtual environments to convey scientific information about microplastic pollution could improve public understanding and engagement with this environmental issue.
Using EEG data as Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment in a serious game about the plastic pollution in the oceans
Researchers explored whether real-time EEG brain activity data could be used to dynamically adjust difficulty in a serious game about ocean plastic pollution, aiming to improve engagement and learning. The study found that while both groups showed high engagement, the control group without EEG-based difficulty adjustment actually demonstrated better attention and higher knowledge test scores, indicating that more research is needed on optimal learning approaches in educational games.
Review: Ocean literacy and how serious games can play a part: the case of the jellyfish and the microplastics governance game MoreGoJelly! — R0/PR2
This review examines how serious games and digital games can contribute to ocean literacy education, tracing their evolution since the 1970s and evaluating their effectiveness in communicating complex topics such as microplastic pollution and jellyfish ecology to the public.
