Design, Development and Evaluation of a Serious Game for Assessment of Student Science Inquiry Skills

• In Event: ELT - Design, Development and Evaluation

Short Description

Surf’s Up Science is a scenario-based science inquiry game with embedded assessment developed as part of the K-12 Math and Science Partnership project. The goal of the game is to engage students in three-dimensional science learning that integrates core scientific ideas, cross discipline concepts, and scientific practices (NRC, 2013). The iterative process that informed the game design, features that facilitated student learning of science inquiry skills, and empirical evidence that illustrates student learning will be presented.
