Abstract—In Taiwan, the 12-year compulsory education was
implemented in 2019. The nature curriculum emphasizing the
importance of students' self-learning and problem-solving skills.
This study applied an "insect breeding game" to understand the
relationship of students' participation in self-efficacy,
help-seeking behavior, and intention of continue participation
in the game. In this study, 206 students of the 4th grade primary
students participated. This study adopted a method of
questionnaire survey, Through a valid and reliable
questionnaire (Cronbach’s α=0.879), Path analysis of data from
206 effective responses was performed using SPSS (version 22)
and structural equation modeling-AMOS (version 21). The
conclusions were: 1. the game’s self-efficacy of student was
significantly positively correlated with instrumental
help-seeking behavior. 2. There was no significant correlation
between game’s self-efficacy and executive help-seeking
behavior. 3. Instrumental help-seeking behavior was
significantly positively correlated with the intention of continue
participation. 4. Executive help-seeking behavior was
significantly positively correlated with the intention of continue
participation. The suggestions of this study enabled educators to
focus on the self-efficacy of students' participation in
game-based-eLearning and encouraged students' help-seeking
behaviors to enhance their intention to continue participate in
game-based- eLearning on future.
Index Terms—Self-efficacy, help-seeking behavior, intention
