The document discusses using educational game design to empower minority youth in STEM learning through community partnerships. It notes that STEM job growth is outpacing overall job growth in the U.S., but Hispanic students graduate high school at lower rates than white students and are underrepresented in STEM fields. Educational game design can engage Hispanic youth by building on their interest in video games and using game simulations to teach STEM concepts. Through the design process, youth learn STEM principles like predator-prey dynamics as well as skills like inquiry, modeling, and problem solving. Community partnerships help provide informal learning settings for game design programs to teach STEM.

Technology expands the opportunities for learning through games by increasing the interaction, expanding the audience and tracking the results. This session provides an overview of using games and simulations for learning, including an exploration of the impact of games and simulations, the types of games and simulations and considerations for using games and simulations in the classroom. Off-the-shelf games and game templates that can be implemented immediately will be reviewed and simple tools for creating your own games will also be explored.
Playing to learn 04-14-11
This document discusses using games and simulations in the classroom. It defines games as structured activities with rules where participants compete for an objective, and simulations as operational models of real or hypothetical processes. Benefits of games and simulations include improved learning outcomes and teaching effective 21st century skills. They can be used for formative assessment and to develop soft skills. Different genres and categories of games and simulations are outlined for different types of learning. Research shows games and simulations are at least as effective as conventional instruction and can improve student engagement through challenge and skill development.

Chapter One to be added to dissertation
This document provides an overview of digital gaming in the United States and its potential benefits for education. It notes that over 174 million Americans play digital games for around 3 billion hours per week. While gaming is popular among students, it is rarely used in schools. The document reviews research showing games can improve student engagement, problem-solving skills, and collaboration. However, most studies on digital gaming in education have focused on student perceptions rather than teacher perceptions. This study aims to address that gap by evaluating teacher and administrator perceptions of digital games and how those perceptions impact their implementation in the classroom. The goal is to add to the literature on how educator perceptions affect the use of games in schools.

This chapter discusses alternative assessment strategies for complex problem solving in game-based learning environments. It argues that new technologies like digital games require new ways of conceptualizing learning, instruction and assessment. The chapter reviews literature on game-based learning and finds little empirical evidence that it improves complex problem solving skills. It then proposes an integrated assessment framework to guide research and practice in this area. This framework was used in a longitudinal study to collect and analyze data on instructional design strategies in an MMOG learning environment.

Instructional Gaming
Games are fun, exciting and engaging but do they belong in the classroom? Can they actually be educational? There is evidence that students and trainees participating in simulation game learning experiences have higher declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and retention of training material than those participating in more traditional learning experiences. But, what elements make games appropriate for learning and how can those elements be integrated into the classroom. In this webinar, Karl will share practical examples of how to apply game dynamics, or “gamification”, as part of your instructional tool kit helping you to engage students and create an active learning environment.
Educational Gaming vs. Playful Learning
This document discusses different types of educational games and playful learning activities and their benefits for children's learning and development.

Observational and Log Analysis Methods for Assessing Engagement and Affect in...Games for Learning Institute (G4LI)
This document discusses two methods for assessing student engagement and affect in educational games: quantitative field observations and automated detectors. Quantitative field observations involve experts observing students' engagement and affect during gameplay through periodic 20-second observations coding behaviors and affective states. Automated detectors use models to assess engagement and affect in real-time or retrospectively from student behavior data without sensors. The author's lab has used these methods to compare engagement and affect between games and intelligent tutoring systems, and to study the influence of social behavior on affective dynamics in games. Both methods provide ecologically valid assessments of student disengagement, affective experiences, and can be used in research and to improve learning outcomes through intervention.Teaching Scientific Inquiry with a Serious Game
This document describes a serious game called Operation ARIES that teaches scientific inquiry skills through an interactive story. The game covers important concepts in psychology, sociology, biology, and chemistry. Players help the Federal Bureau of Science investigate flawed alien research by reading interactive texts, evaluating case studies, and interrogating research examples. It aims to help high school, college students, and adults learn to critically evaluate research claims. The game implements eLearning principles and dialogue to provide feedback and assess knowledge gained over its estimated 7-15 hours of gameplay.

This document presents the results of a study evaluating the effectiveness of the game Mecanika in teaching Newtonian physics concepts. Key findings include:
1. Students who played Mecanika showed a 9.2% gain on a physics concept inventory, compared to a 1.9% gain for the control group.
2. Playing more levels of the game was associated with greater learning, suggesting a focused impact. However, the game may not replace teachers.
3. When integrated into classrooms, students maintained over 70% of gains one month later, but teachers' implementation quality may have varied.
4. While boys found the game more fun, there were no significant gender differences in learning
Games as Formative Assessment Environments
The document summarizes research on using games to provide formative assessment. It describes two studies that tested how making assessment criteria explicit and incentivizing feedback use affected student outcomes. The first study found that explaining scoring rules improved game performance while incentives plus explanations best improved math learning. The second study found incentives plus explanations improved math achievement, game performance, and feedback use for students with low motivation or skills. Future work should examine cognitive processes involved and modify game and feedback designs.
Games as Formative Assessment Environments
The document summarizes research on using games to provide formative assessment. It discusses two studies that examined how making assessment criteria explicit and incentivizing feedback use affected student outcomes. The first study found that explaining scoring rules improved game performance while incentives plus explanations improved math learning. The second study found incentives plus explanations led to better math achievement, game performance, and feedback use, especially for students with low motivation. Future work could explore theoretical explanations and modify game and feedback designs.
What is Stealth Assessment?
Valerie Shute argues that games can support meaningful learning if designed properly using evidence-centered design. She outlines how stealth assessment can collect dynamic evidence of learning by embedding assessments in games. As an example, she describes how a role-playing game like Elder Scrolls could assess competencies like problem solving and creativity through players' actions. The game would analyze patterns of behaviors to estimate competency levels and provide adaptive feedback and scaffolding to support learning.

Games can be used to teach players about important issues while also being fun and engaging. The Center for Serious Play at the University of Washington Bothell uses games to raise awareness about the environment and sustainability. Their games approach complex topics in a way that helps players better understand different perspectives and make more informed decisions.Fun and Frustration = Learning and Games
This document discusses the relationship between games, learning, fun and frustration. It argues that games are not just about fun, as fun has a limited lifespan, but can also be pleasantly frustrating. It explores concepts like flow, challenge, reward and failure in game design. It also examines how learning involves failure, doubt, curiosity and making connections. Games can facilitate creation, distribution and assessment of learning. When combined effectively, fun, frustration, games and learning complement each other in a both/and rather than either/or relationship.
