The primary goals of the project are to: Automate the customization and adaptation of 3D simulated game-based learning environments to improve learner engagement. Provide a deeper understanding of the design, development, and deployment of these learning environments,...
This federal Project Grant award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGER GAMES TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO ALGEBRA", is funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The purpose of this $788,393 award to Purdue University is to design and develop educational games centered on negative number concepts to target students before they learn algebra in middle school. The goal is to increase students' motivation, understanding of connections between positive and negative numbers, and preparation for algebra - which could lead to later success in advanced mathematics and improved STEM education. The project team will design and develop the games through an iterative process of prototyping and testing with students and experts to refine the materials. A six-session evaluation study will be conducted to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze students' integer knowledge gains and changes in their motivation after interacting with the games.
