The aim of this research was to develop design framework of educational game for types of cognitive domain subjects in micro level and evaluation of its effectiveness in concepts learning. To achieve this goal mixed method research was used. To obtain the framework and its evaluation, in the qualitative method inductive analysis and in the quantitative, survey method was used. Also for extrinsic evaluation of the framework in facts learning, experimental research with control group have been used. From qualitative analysis about computer games elements, 32 game mechanics extracted. To intrinsic evaluation of proposed framework, this framework with its explaining appendix have been send for 25 instructional and digital game specialists. The results of evaluation showed that the proposed framework for cognitive domain subjects have appropriate authenticity. Also to extrinsic or effectiveness evaluation, proposed framework experimented on 38 students in control and experimental groups with pre and posttests. Results of covariance analysis showed that there is significant difference between the game has been designed on the basis of the proposed framework and existing game.
