Other restrictions faced are the approval of replacinggames as a focus in class from the professional world, but due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic,more educators have become inclined to use and explore the possibilities of this new educationaltool, and recent studies have backed this as a positive approach towards education [10], [11].Acknowledging the success and advantages of game-based learning in engineering, this proposedresearch study was planned.

As we plan to expandthese labs to include more complex data structures, it is crucial to balance the depth and breadth of theseconcepts without overwhelming the students. While the direction in CSE12 has been promising andaligns with our initial observations, continuous refinement of the lab assignments and statistical tests,robust data collection, and feedback-driven iterations are essential.

Note that JMCQ’s grading canbe fully automated and instantaneous when the justifications are themselves selected from amongdistractor-justifications. (In one of our trials we also used a text-input version for comparison.)Thus, JMCQ can be used to auto-generate a customized follow-up study plan for each student.Furthermore, because justifications are presented to students, it potentially removes some anxietyaround whether a student’s phrasing is sufficient.What are effective

amounted to 1,634. The collected sample was divided intotwo halves to facilitate both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). This division was planned to ensure that the demographic characteristics, including classsize, gender, and others, were evenly distributed across both subsets. This approach,recommended by DeVellis, serves a dual purpose: EFA allows for the identification andexploration of underlying factor structures without preconceived hypotheses, while CFA is usedto test and confirm the factor structure suggested by EFA. Splitting the data in this mannerprovides a robust methodology for validating the scale's construct validity, ensuring that theanalysis is both comprehensive and reliable [28]. In Step 7
