In SimCity Social, players dont just build a city they choose the kind of. The students were also asked to comment on their experience of the PowerPoint versus the VR and describe what their experience. SimCity Social is a city-building simulation game available on Facebook. Using an experimental approach, the researchers also gave a pre- and posttest to determine if the VR experience resulted in better academic learning than a regular, PowerPoint-based lecture. The researchers tracked engagement, focus, interest, and how important the students thought the content was. The students were split into two groups and given either a PowerPoint or VR experience, both having the same content. These experiences were then tied to the National Science Standards (8-MS-ESS1-4, 8-MS-ESS2-2, and 8-MS-ESS3-1). The authentic experiences were based on oral histories of the residents of Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana, who have lost 98% of their ancestral homeland since 1955. The objective of this study is to integrate science standards into authentic learning experiences, created in both a traditional teaching method and virtual reality (VR) platform, for 8th grade middle school students in Lafayette, Louisiana. Educators are challenged to be responsive and understanding when encouraging learners to construct meaning while adhering to stringent standards. The diversity of learners within education is neither linear nor constant. On the creation of a leadership typology. Of the research was the analogy process between the games situations and the organisational life resulting Were: motivation, facilitation, coaching, mindset changing, and communication. Learning approach is an effective approach to leadership skills development and the primary skills developed Individuals and also factor analysis based on data collected by a questionnaire about the leadership skills developed,Īnd which conducted to the identification of the leadership styles. What kind of leadership styles emerge in the gaming context? The methodological approach was quantitative andĪlso qualitative, privileging the interpretative approach and the primary technique used was content analysisįrom the forums of discussion of 8 GBL courses with 15 participants in each course summing a total of 120 The research questions were: 1) what were the leadership skills developed, during a GBL course? Moreover, 2) In leadership skills development and if new leadership styles can emerge during a collaborative gaming process. This paper examines recent literature regarding game-based learning influence Learning and knowledge development however, more research is needed regarding how games may influenceĭevelopment of leadership skills.
There are numerous studies which support the positive effects of games on
Game-based learning (GBL) as a universal approach to developing leadership skills have been winning attentionįrom researchers and practitioners.
