Game Design Issues for Learning and Assessment
Sat, April 9, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon ISession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Consistent within the intent of the centennial issues of the AERA journals, we believe that our game design issues will move the field of educational research into the next 100 years. Such research knowledge will support the necessary but not sufficient basis for public knowledge advocacy.
The symposium will consist of four presentations: (1) Does a cognitive skill within a game transfer to performing the same skill in non-game contexts? (2) What is the impact of multiple pedagogical game components based on data mining approaches coupled with evidence-centered design? (3) What is the role of crowd sourcing as a formative evaluation technique for games? (4) What is the impact of using feature analysis as game specifications?
