元素周期表使学生能够轻松了解化学元素并预测理论但尚未发现的新元素的行为。许多记忆技术已被用于学习元素周期表，但尚未充分探索严肃游戏（即，专为纯娱乐之外的主要目的而设计）来补充甚至取代此类记忆技术。由于现有的实体纸牌游戏 CHEMMEND 被发现有助于学习元素周期表，因此我们探索了电子版游戏 E-CHEMMEND 的潜力，该游戏的数字版本可帮助记忆元素的组数和周期数。E-CHEMMEND 是一款单人严肃游戏，探索四种不同游戏条件的影响，涉及两个实验因素，这些因素说明了不同的教育场景。第一个因素调查了通过增加难度级别进行游戏与从一开始就玩所有元素的作用。第二个因素调查显示化学元素的组号和周期号及其符号与仅显示元素符号的作用。初步结果表明，当显示组号和期间号时，人们认为 E-CHEMMEND 更令人愉快。相比之下，当隐藏此信息并显示级别时，发现游戏可以更好地帮助学习。综上所述，我们的结果表明，各种游戏设置可以满足各种教育目的。最终，测试 E-CHEMMEND 时的设计原理和经验教训将对化学教师和教育研究人员很有价值。

Educational Videogame to Learn the Periodic Table: Design Rationale and Lessons Learned

The periodic table allows students to easily understand the chemical elements and predict the behavior of theoretical yet undiscovered new elements. Many memorization techniques have been used for learning the periodic table, yet serious games (i.e., designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment) have been underexplored to complement or even replace such memorization techniques. Since CHEMMEND, an existing physical card game, was found to assist with learning the periodic table, we explore the potential of E-CHEMMEND, a digital version of the game as an aid to memorize the group and period numbers of the elements. E-CHEMMEND is a single-player serious game to explore the effect of four different game conditions involving two experimental factors that account for different educational scenarios. The first factor investigates the role of playing through levels of increasing difficulty versus playing with all elements from the very beginning. The second factor investigates the role of displaying the group and period numbers of the chemical element along with its symbol versus only displaying the element symbol. Preliminary results show that E-CHEMMEND is perceived as more enjoyable when the group and period numbers are displayed. In contrast, the game is found to better assist learning when this information is hidden and levels are shown. Taken together, our results suggest that a variety of educational purposes can be accommodated with a range of game settings. Ultimately, the design rationale and the lessons learned while testing E-CHEMMEND will be valuable for chemistry instructors and education researchers. A desktop-based Windows executable version of the game is available at http://www.chemmend.uji.es/game.
