Locked articles and mathematic performance

 Researching articles about video games in STEM has been hard because all good articles are locked, and I cannot use my phoenix college account to unlock them. I tried to find a way around them and I still could not find some but I did find articles on the benefits of video games. The one that stood out to me is titled "Computer Games for the Math Achievement of Diverse Students" by Sunha Kim and Mido Chang. This article summarizes a study done on students to test the performance of students, separated by gender, which computer games and those who do not. The male students who played computer games demonstrated higher performance than those who did not play computer games. On the other hand, a difference in the females in the study was not found in their performance. Also, another test was done on English-speaking students and ELL students. The English-speaking students who played daily games showed lower performance in daily math. The ELL students who played daily games, on the contrary, were able to learn English more easily.
