Abstract
This study investigates descriptively the use of game-based applications in learning and teaching environments. Each empirical finding was categorized according to paper title, year of publication, number of citations in the Web of Science (WoS) database in SCI, SSCI and AHCI, learning theory, learning principle, game genre, game design elements, learning outcomes and research skills samples, and learning domains. A total of 190 original gamerelated research articles were selected as sources in six peer-reviewed journals with a 12-year period from 2005 to 2017. The research found that game studies, as well as the cognitive understanding and application-level knowledge of the field are more effective in learning and in student achievements in terms of retention.
