Download or read book Handbook of Game Based Learning written by Jan L. Plass and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to the latest research and theory on learning and instruction with computer games. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the latest research on learning and instruction with computer games. Unlike other books on the topic, which emphasize game development or best practices, Handbook of Game-Based Learning is based on empirical findings and grounded in psychological and learning sciences theory. The contributors, all leading researchers in the field, offer a range of perspectives, including cognitive, motivational, affective, and sociocultural. They explore research on whether (and how) computer games can help students learn educational content and academic skills; which game features (including feedback, incentives, adaptivity, narrative theme, and game mechanics) can improve the instructional effectiveness of these games; and applications, including games for learning in STEM disciplines, for training cognitive skills, for workforce learning, and for assessment. The Handbook offers an indispensable reference both for readers with practical interests in designing or selecting effective game-based learning environments and for scholars who conduct or evaluate research in the field. It can also be used in courses related to play, cognition, motivation, affect, instruction, and technology. Contributors Roger Azevedo, Ryan S. Baker, Daphne Bavelier, Amanda E. Bradbury, Ruth C.

Download or read book A Practical Hand Book of Games written by Emily Warren Elmore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Hand-Book of Games This book is planned primarily for the use of teachers and game leaders, and the games are discussed from pedagogical and psychological standpoints. Only games which have been actually taught by the writer are described, and their chief advantages or possible limitations and disadvantages are emphasized. Representative games for each age are given, but not more than one or two of a type, because experience teaches that children thoroughly enjoy games which they know well and like, and prefer to play these again and again rather than to be learning new ones constantly. This lessens the problem of the young teacher, as it is unnecessary for her to be familiar with more than a comparatively small number of games of representative types which can always be available. It has been the experience of the writer that many of the games described in various books do not meet with universal approval on the part of children, because the end and aim are not what they desire.
