Anne Frank Confronts Queen Isabella: Learning Phenomena in Historical, Cultural, and Social Online Simulation Games

Fri, April 13, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Third Level, South Pavilion Ballroom A

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores the nature of learning that occurs within Web 2.0 environments for a diverse group of participants: middle school students from across North America, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students from two different universities. In order to reveal the complex learning phenomena occurred in these simulation experiences, three papers utilized Action Research inquiry. The fourth paper is a quantitative study employing constructivist communication theories in order to understand student advancement in argument discourse skills within the game. By framing four papers within one symposium, the attendees experience both an up-close as well as a panoramic view of the findings emerging from studies of each of these learner populations.
