COLLABORATION
Developed in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and Cagayan State University (CSU) as part of a graduate research study examining the effectiveness of desktop game-based learning in chemistry education at the secondary level.
The research evaluates student engagement, knowledge retention, and academic performance improvements when using game-based desktop learning tools as supplementary instructional materials.

RESEARCH JOURNEY
1
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Identified gaps in chemistry learning among Grade 7–10 students through surveys and classroom observation across participating CSU partner schools.
2
APP DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Designed and built PTE QUEST using C# and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), incorporating game mechanics aligned with constructivist learning theory.
3
VALIDATION & REVIEW
Subjected to expert validation by chemistry educators and instructional design specialists to ensure accuracy, usability, and pedagogical soundness.
4
PILOT TESTING
Deployed to a controlled student sample in school computer laboratories for pilot testing. Pre- and post-test measurements recorded to assess learning gains and engagement metrics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Yes! PTE QUEST is completely free to download and use. It is provided as a public educational resource developed under the DOST × CSU graduate research program.
The app requires Windows 10 (64-bit) or higher. It has been tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11 for maximum compatibility. It will not run on 32-bit systems.
Yes! All element data, quizzes, and study materials are bundled with the installer and available fully offline. No internet connection is needed after installation — perfect for classroom and laboratory use.
PTE QUEST is designed primarily for Grade 7–10 students studying chemistry, but is useful for anyone looking to learn or review periodic table concepts — from high school students to college freshmen and curious learners. It works great in computer labs and on teacher workstations.
Download the installer (ptequest-setup.exe), then double-click it to run. Follow the on-screen installation wizard — the app will be added to your Start Menu and Desktop automatically. No special permissions required beyond a standard Windows user account.
Windows SmartScreen may show a warning for newly published software. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed. The installer is safe — it is an unsigned academic release distributed directly from the developer and DOST × CSU research program.
