Implication

Educational intervention study reveals digital geogames improve spatial orientation and memory in students, suggesting interactive tools can enhance navigation training in curricula.

Key Points

To investigate whether mobile geogame training interventions using spatially adaptive digital maps improve spatial orientation and navigation competencies within educational settings.
Study 1 compared spatial training outcomes between static maps and spatially adaptive maps that adjust visualization and content based on location using the mobile geogame GeoGami.
Study 2 evaluated the curricular integration of the geogame intervention using pre- and post-test assessments across specific spatial subcompetencies.
Spatially adaptive digital maps led to significantly greater improvements in spatial orientation compared to static maps.
Curricular training produced statistically significant improvements across all measured subcompetencies, including landmark recognition, spatial configurations, and spatial memory.
