N2 - Group action synchrony is often used as an indicator to assess how similarly group members behave in the collaborative game-based learning. Previous study showed the group action synchrony as a key factor to learning gain. However, its intertwined relationship with learners' prior knowledge has not yet been largely explored. Therefore, this paper examines the relationship of three different levels of prior knowledge (individual, group, and within-group difference level) and group action synchrony with individual and group learning performances. We particularly used game logs and pre-and post-knowledge test scores of 65 groups from 139 students. Our findings indicate that group action synchrony and prior knowledge at individual and group level are critical to predicting individual learning performance. Similarly, group learning performance is positively predicted by group action synchrony and prior knowledge at group level.
