SUMMARY:Psychology Online Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What makes an educational game effective? Do all “educational” games lead to learning? How do we design educational games for children and support teachers in utilizing their power? Play has the potential to engage participants in meaningful ways. However\, translating “play” to digital educational games that lead to learning is challenging. In K-12 contexts\, evidence often suggests that the effectiveness of digital game-based learning (DGBL) relies heavily on cognitive foundations of learning\, game design\, and teacher support. This talk will focus on theory-based design and experimental evaluation of digital learning environments (DLEs) to support game-based learning. It will describe (a) how theories of user-experience and instruction are applied to create DLEs that support teachers’ adoption of educational games and (b) how theories of mathematical cognition and DGBL are applied to create games for building mathematical understanding of adolescents. A range of DLEs designed for game-based learning projects will be briefly shown. The talk will conclude with potential future directions to address theoretical and methodological gaps in DGBL research. \nAbout the Speaker: Robin Sharma is a Learning Scientist and creator of theory-based\, digital learning environments (DLEs). He has a B.Sc. (H) in Math\, an M.Sc. in Math Education\, and a Ph.D. in Learning Sciences. Currently\, he is applying models of mathematical cognition to create an AI-driven\, game-based\, learning application for early numeracy. His research has focused on evaluating the effect of “narrative” as an instructional feature in math games\, building interactive\, game-based curriculum guides for teachers\, and game-based courses for children. He has over seven years of experience in this space working for international non-profits (UNESCO) and the video-game industry (Ubisoft Inc.). His research has been supported by the International Doctoral Research Award from Universities Canada\, the Doctoral Fellowship from the Government of Quebec\, and a range of other competitive grants and scholarships. \nWe look forward to your active participation.
