Abstract
This paper compares and evaluates four existing educational game frameworks: Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) Framework, Educational Games (EG) Design Framework, Gamified Learning Framework, and Co.LAB Framework. The evaluation includes their strengths, limitations, and potential for improvement. Based on the analysis, an improved Educational Game (EG) framework featuring elements from the four frameworks is proposed. The proposed framework accounts for the unique requirements of educational games and aims to enhance players' learning outcomes. The paper provides insights for game developers, educators, and researchers interested in designing and implementing effective educational games.
