65.077 - Game-Based Assessment and Learning of Argumentation Skills

Sun, April 19, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Marriott, Floor: Fifth Level, Chicago ABC

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Proficiency with argumentation is critical for college and career readiness in the 21st century. This symposium introduces several lines of research that focus on game-based assessment and learning of argumentation skills. Specifically, we present four games designed to collect a variety of evidence of students’ argumentation skills, and to support a wide range of argumentation activities. Each game project will discuss: a) the design features of the game-based assessment or learning environment, b) results from empirical studies, including student performance and engagement with the tasks, and c) implications for argumentation practice and instruction.
