Impact of ICT-Mediated Learning Strategies on Content Comprehension and Competence Development: A Study with UrbanGame

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between various learning strategies and educational objectives within the context of the UrbanGame activity, utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) tools. Strategies such as collaborative work, meaningful learning, and problem-based learning were analyzed for their impact on content comprehension, competence acquisition, and values. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA, chi-square tests, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, revealed that meaningful learning and problem-based learning have a significantly positive effect on content comprehension. However, no significant differences were observed in competence acquisition and values. The results underscore the importance of combining various learning strategies and contextualizing educational content with real-world experiences to enhance understanding. This study provides a comprehensive perspective on how ICT can optimize educational practices, highlighting the need for adaptive and multifaceted pedagogical approaches.
