RTD: A Theory-Based Design Model for Game-Based Science Inquiry

• In Event: Roundtables Thur3
  In Roundtable Session: RTD - Roundtables Thur3

Short Description

Much of science learning in school today is often disconnected from the curiosity and excitement of scientific discovery and engineering (Marino et al., 2013). Game-based learning has the potential to provide simulated real world environments where students can engage in three-dimensional learning of disciplinary core ideas, scientific processes, and crosscutting patterns as called for in the Next Generation of Science Standards. This paper discusses a theory-based design model for game-based science inquiry and learning.
