Games In The Classroom: What the Research Says | MindShift - 2 views

  • summarizing a bit of the scant research that’s specific to the classroom
  • According to the SRI study, a simulation differs from a game in that it does not employ a points or “currency” based reward system and it doesn’t have level based achievement goals. In addition, simulations have an “underlying model that is based on some real-world behavior.”
  • there’s no need for more commodified motivation
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Play is useful because it simulates real life experience — physical, emotional, and/or intellectual — in a safe, iterative and social environment, not because it has winners and losers.
  • The achievement lies in the act of learning and understanding itself.
  • interactive digital tools can offer an efficient means to provide effective contextualized learning experiences.
  • games as most beneficial for “low-performing students,” “students with emotional/behavioral issues,” “student with cognitive or developmental issues.” In other words, students who have been labeled and/or diagnosed because they struggle within the traditional school environment, benefit from game-based approaches
  • Gaming inherently involves systems-thinking which is best taught through collaborative learning.
  • There are connected, networked ways of knowing that will dominate the digital future. Sharing and collaboration go hand-in-hand with integrating non-competitive and non-commodified ways of playing. The way students play and learn today is the way they will work tomorrow.
