This study analyzed user experience elements with healing game characteristics in eight horticultural games based on Lazro's theory of four fun elements, aiming to use horticultural treatment effects as basic data for horticultural game design. The games were found to be developed around "Serious Fun" and "Easy Fun," with "Hard Fun" and "People Fun" also included. Healing games including horticultural activities were highly linked to actual horticultural activities, resulting in horticultural treatment effects. Future studies will design horticultural healing games and verify their effects based on these results.

Game Software is the high-value industry that is based on fun elements. To develop Game Software successfully, the method for systematically classifying and searching about fun elements needs. However, fun elements of game are still made by game developers 'experience', and have ambiguities about what are considered at development phase because of difference between viewpoints and definitions about them. We structured 9 groups and 34 fun elements after that 50 fun elements elicited from existing literature are classifies and refines by statistical analysis. And we found a omitted area with the result that the classified elements are applied to Roger Callois's Theory. Finally, we elicited new elements of omitted areas from web site and searched 1 group and 4 fun elements.

In order to measure students' fun and the effectiveness of teaching materials related to computer science theory, this paper conducted an experiment lesson against middle school students using Timbel's 'Unplugged' textbook. A preliminary test was conducted and it revealed that the students' understanding of computer science theory was extremely poor. The learner's fun for the experimental lesson showed the positive reaction in the viewpoint of expectation, engagement, endurability. In post-test after one month, the students were able to recall most of the materials covered during the experiment lesson. In addition, they all showed sign of good understanding. In conclusion, Timbel's textbook proved effective in increasing students' fun and learning ability related to computer science theory. Furthermore, this paper would like to suggest a new type of Informatics science teaching material that might be essential for future computer science education.
