1. Virtual Exchange and 21st Century Teacher Education: Short Papers from the 2019 EVALUATE Conference (León, Spain, September 2019)

Author

Research-publishing.net (France), Hauck, Mirjam, Müller-Hartmann, Andreas, Hauck, Mirjam, Müller-Hartmann, Andreas, and Research-publishing.net (France)

Abstract

The Evaluating and Upscaling Telecollaborative Teacher Education (EVALUATE) project was a European policy experiment funded by Erasmus+ between 2017 and 2019. The EVALUATE consortium trained teacher trainers and organised virtual exchanges which involved over 1,000 student teachers at over 34 initial teacher education institutions in Europe and beyond. Following the successful capstone conference of the EVALUATE project in September 2019, a number of colleagues answered our call for submissions to the proceedings. The articles you find here provide a window into the multifaceted contributions not only to the conference, but to the field of telecollaboration and virtual exchange at large. We hope you enjoy finding out about the many different ways in which our colleagues engage with this innovative pedagogical approach that combines the deep impact of intercultural dialogue and exchange with the broad reach of digital technology.

2. Gold Star: Enhancing Student Engagement through Gameful Teaching and Learning. IDEA Paper #75

Author

IDEA Center, Alexander, James A., Cruz, Laura E., and Torrence, Michael L.

Abstract

"Gamification" is often (incorrectly) assumed to mean using games in the classroom, but its primary purpose is to integrate differentiated strategies of motivation and engagement into a number of activities, including teaching and learning. The authors synthesize research and practice in the field of gamification (also called gamified, or gameful, learning) in education, with particular attention to how the mechanics of games (e.g., action points, quests, dynamic difficulty adjustment, blockchains) can be integrated into course design and assessment, even without turning on a computer, and why instructors might want to, even if they are not gamers themselves.

3. Integrating Smartphone-Controlled Paper Airplane into Gamified Science Inquiry for Junior High School Students

Author

Cheng, Mengmeng, Su, Chien-Yuan, and Kinshuk

Abstract

Integrating science learning with game experience and physical manipulatives not only overcomes the rigidity of traditional teaching, but also makes the learning experience pleasant for students and improves their science inquiry ability. Today, with the popularization of mobile devices and technology, both the value and feasibility of gamified science learning have increased significantly. However, several studies showed that students might get lost or feel bored during science inquiry. To let students enjoy the science inquiry process and improve their science process skills, the researchers combined mobile technology, game design elements, and science inquiry and designed the gamified science inquiry activity "we are aircraft designers". Here, students designed and manipulated a smartphone-controlled paper airplane by mobile devices connected via Bluetooth. To investigate the effects of the gamified science inquiry activity, the flow state and science process skills of 71 students of a junior high school in China were explored. The proposed gamified science inquiry activity enhanced flow and science process skills of students with high and middle level flow. No differences were found on flow and science process skills between males and females. Based on these results, the guidelines for the design of a gamified science inquiry activity are discussed.

Subjects

Abstract

Digital games are one of the most engaging forms of media. Players can have a first-hand experience and the possibility of feeling immersed within a digital setting where agency is exerted. This paper seeks to understand the role of digital games as new means of communication and their potential to convey messages that may defy gamers to question the moral grand narratives that shape contemporary societies. In a moment when many countries have opted to close or limit the circulation in their borders, it is important to think about the role played by the border as a historic liminal entity for the representation of societies and communities, distinguishing those who belong from those who do not. The representation of the border in digital games have tended to follow one of the main tropes explored in other media: the border as a physical space that set boundaries between different nations and different regions of the world. In order to assert the potential of digital games to offer a more comprehensive representation of the border as a liminal space, the case of Papers, Please! (2013) will be analyzed. Based on a qualitative methodology, having content analysis as primary data collection method, the paper intends to contribute to the discussion on how history may narrativized and, eventually, reinterpreted in digital games. Papers, Please! analysis will be centered on the relationship that is set between player and border, that is presented as a liminal space where the game's action takes places entirely. Moreover, the paper intends to discuss the role that has been played by digital games in the representation of serious topics and how they have evolved as communication tools beyond their role as entertainment products.

Author

Agnes D. Garciano, Debbie Marie B. Verzosa, Ma. Louise Antonette N. De Las Peñas, Maria Alva Q. Aberin, Juan Carlo F. Mallari, Jumela F. Sarmiento, and Mark Anthony C. Tolentino

Abstract

This paper discusses the "Just Keep Solving" apps that are designed based on deliberate practice model for developing mathematical skills. Features of deliberate practice include well-defined goals involving areas of weakness as determined by a knowledgeable other such as a teacher. The integration of game design features provides a positive environment wherein the learning goals critical in a deliberate practice model are emphasized. Possible strategies for integrating the apps in a classroom are also discussed using Hughes, Thomas and Scharber's RAT (Replacement, Amplification, Transformation) framework. The games can replace traditional pen-and-paper classroom activities, amplify learning by personalizing a student's experience and providing opportunities for deliberate practice, and transform instruction from being teacher-centered to student-centered.

Falomir, Zoe, Tarin, Ruben, Puerta, Aurelio, and Garcia-Segarra, Pablo

Subjects
PAPER arts, SPATIAL ability, VIDEO games, GAMES
Abstract

Paper folding-and-punching tests are used to measure spatial abilities in humans. This paper presents a qualitative model for paper folding (QPF) and a computer game (Paper Folding Game) developed to apply and show the reasoning capabilities of the QPF model. This interactive game presents paper-folding activities intended to help users train and understand how to fold a paper to get a specific shape. Then, it presents paper-folding-and-punching tests to the players. The Paper Folding Game can automatically generate paper-folding-and-punching questions with varying degrees of difficulty depending on the number of folds and holes made, thus producing additional levels for training. The reasoning mechanisms in the QPF model are used by the Paper Folding Game to infer the right answer to each paper-folding-and-punching question. This reasoning capability allows the game to provide feedback to the players when they are wrong and also to create other plausible answers automatically, so that random question-answers are shown to the players in the master-mode. The Paper Folding Game has been implemented using Unity engine and it is available to download from GooglePlay and AppleStore for everyone to train their spatial reasoning skills.

27. Language Games in Primary Mathematics

Author

Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) and Galvin, Patrick

Abstract

This theoretical paper examines views about the role of language and mathematical discourse in learning mathematics. Current research is still addressing what constitutes a mathematical discourse. As new conceptions of the purpose of language use in mathematics are explored, and associated ontological and epistemic positions are revealed, one might ask: how are we able to reframe our view of language to support a social participation perspective? This paper proposes the consideration of Wittgenstein's philosophy of language games to shift our conception of classroom language use in mathematics to encompass broader contextual features such as participation, patterns of exchange and social norms.

29. Examination of Self-Regulation Skills of Preschoolers in Terms of the Home Environment Variables

Author

Gündüz, Aysenur, Cantekin, Dicle, and Gültekin Akduman, Gülümser

Abstract

Problem Situation and Purpose: The literature shows that the home environment is effective on the child in various aspects. Revealing the relationship between the variables in the home environment and the self-regulation skills of children can be a guide for families. In addition, it is thought that it will contribute to the literature by considering self-regulation skills in terms of different factors related to the home environment. It is aimed to examine the self-regulation skills of preschoolers in terms of various variables related to the home environment. Method: Relational screening model was used. The study group consists of 218 children from the 5-6 age group attending kindergarten in Ankara in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the study, "General Information Form" and "Self-Regulation Skills Scale for 4-6 Years Old Children (Mother Form)" were used. The ANOVA test was used to determine whether there was a relationship between variables related to the home environment and self-regulation skills. Findings of the Study: It was seen that the duration of children's play with family members, the type of games they played with family members the most, the time spent with technological devices, the daily book reading time of parents to the child, the number of books in the children's home were related to self-regulation skills. It was found that the self-regulation levels of the children did not constitute a significant difference according to the time spent outdoors. Research Results and Recommendations: It was seen that the variables related to the home environment were related to self-regulation skills. Families may be guided to create a home environment that will support their self-regulation skills. With the early age of preschool schooling, the negativities that may arise from the home environment can be prevented.

31. Technology in the Perception of English Teachers in Southern Brazil Schools

Author

Paula Behenck Machado, Patricia Jantsch Fiuza, and Graziela Fátima Giacomazzo

Abstract

Due to the advance of technologies and the increase of their use around the world, it shows a need to include them in education, as tools that could help the current teaching methods. Taking into account that most English classes in Brazilian public schools have been happening in the same way for many years, and considering the importance of learning a foreign language in this new technological world scenario, the objective of this study, that is part of a Master Degree dissertation, is to understand the perception of Brazilian English teachers in relation to the use of games and digital technologies, in the practice of face to face and remote language teaching classes, in different educational environments. Based on the participation of English teachers in the research stages, it is possible to explore their experiences and points of view, directly related to the English teaching and the use of technologies and digital games. This research collected information through a focus group research method. In this way, it was possible to verify that teachers, together with technologies and digital games, are very important in the classroom and those are extremely important tools to be used in teaching, including English. It was also noticed that keeping learning and qualifications are very important for the updating and practice of teaching. In addition, it was possible to conclude that, through the planning of activities, visualizing the right moment to insert digital games and technologies in their classes, teachers have support tools in these, which will help to engage and motivate students in learning a new language.

32. Rethinking the Classification of Games and Sports in Physical Education: A Response to Changes in Sport and Participation

Author

Justen O'Connor, Laura Alfrey, and Dawn Penney

Abstract

Background: Through changing the way games are represented, classification systems have increased possibilities for teaching game forms beyond structured adult and singular official versions of popular sports. At the time of inception, the four-game form approach to classification (target, net/wall, striking/fielding, and invasion games) enabled modified, small sided conditioned games to be adapted to suit individual attributes, whilst reinforcing a core set of tactical and technical elements for transfer. With global shifts in patterns of sport participation, it is timely to review this dominant classification frame and the role it plays within physical education (PE). Purpose: This paper proposes changes to classification boundaries around games and sports in PE to establish a classification system that is inclusive of a wider range of games and sports and growing forms of participation that we contend are important for PE. The paper also argues for a broader conceptualisation of tactics, with social, environmental and affective dimensions a focal point for a revised, contemporary classification framework. Methods: The paper draws on Bernstein's notions of classification and frame to explore the pedagogical utility of the dominant games and sport classification used in PE and ways in which it could be revised. Each author independently undertook a structured mapping exercise designed to facilitate exploration and potential classification of a wide range of contemporary activities potentially relevant for physical education. Results: The paper proposes the addition of lap or circuit sports, route or journey sports, rush or action sports, stunts or tricking sports and rhythmic or aesthetic sports to broaden the learning and participation possibilities for young people and tune teachers into contemporary movement forms. The paper proposes sample questions that extend the tactical foci inherent in classification to encompass meaning, social, and ecological considerations for learning in PE.

33. Constructing Shared Understanding of Complex Interdisciplinary Problems: Epistemic Games in Interdisciplinary Teamwork

Author

Natasha Arthars, Lina Markauskaite, and Peter Goodyear

Abstract

Background: Constructing shared understanding of complex interdisciplinary problems is one of the most challenging aspects of interdisciplinary teamwork. How this process unfolds is under-researched, making it esoteric and difficult to scaffold. This paper aims to provide an articulated and nuanced account of what is involved in student teams' construction of shared understanding of complex interdisciplinary problems. Methods: The study combines the theoretical lens of epistemic games with an ecological analytical perspective. Drawing on the analysis of ethnographic cases, it explores how four graduate student teams construct shared understanding of complex problems during interdisciplinary projects. Findings: Construction of shared understanding is a multifaceted and dynamic process that extends over the entire problem-solving activity. It relies on epistemic moves that explicate and juxtapose different perspectives and connect abstract ideas with knowledge grounded in students' experiences and contexts. The pursuits students engage in, when creating shared understanding, reveal epistemic differences related to formulation of the interdisciplinary problem and what constitutes trustworthy knowledge. Contribution: The paper contributes to the literature on the nature of students' construction of shared understanding of complex interdisciplinary problems revealing critical recurrent moves. It also extends earlier conceptualizations of epistemic games as primarily discourse games and demonstrates that they are profoundly multimodal and distributed.

34. Ambush strategy enhances organisms' performance in rock–paper–scissors games.

Abstract

We study a five-species cyclic system wherein individuals of one species strategically adapt their movements to enhance their performance in the spatial rock–paper–scissors game. Environmental cues enable the awareness of the presence of organisms targeted for elimination in the cyclic game. If the local density of target organisms is sufficiently high, individuals move towards concentrated areas for direct attack; otherwise, they employ an ambush tactic, maximising the chances of success by targeting regions likely to be dominated by opponents. Running stochastic simulations, we discover that the ambush strategy enhances the likelihood of individual success compared to direct attacks alone, leading to uneven spatial patterns characterised by spiral waves. We compute the autocorrelation function and measure how the ambush tactic unbalances the organisms' spatial organisation by calculating the characteristic length scale of typical spatial domains of each species. We demonstrate that the threshold for local species density influences the ambush strategy's effectiveness, while the neighbourhood perception range significantly impacts decision-making accuracy. The outcomes show that long-range perception improves performance by over 60%, although there is potential interference in decision-making under high attack triggers. Understanding how organisms' adaptation their environment enhances their performance may be helpful not only for ecologists, but also for data scientists, aiming to improve artificial intelligence systems. • Stochastic simulations of the rock–paper–scissors model with Ambush strategy are performed. • The changes in the spatial patterns provoked by the behavioural strategy are quantified. • Organisms' performance in the rock–paper–scissor game is computed. • The impact of the organisms' perception radius in the accuracy of the strategy is investigated.

46. Asymptotic behavior of a kinetic approach to the collective dynamics of a rock-paper-scissors binary game.

Abstract

This article studies the kinetic dynamics of the rock-paper-scissors binary game in a measure setting given by a non local and non linear integrodifferential equation. After proving the wellposedness of the equation, we provide a precise description of the asymptotic behavior in large time. To do so we adopt a duality approach, which is well suited both as a first step to construct a measure solution by mean of semigroups and to obtain an explicit expression of the asymptotic measure. Even thought the equation is non linear, this measure depends linearly on the initial condition. This result is completed by a decay in total variation norm, which happens to be subgeometric due to the nonlinearity of the equation. This relies on an unusual use of a confining condition that is needed to apply a Harris-type theorem, taken from a recent paper [2] that also provides a way to compute explicitly the constants involved in the aforementioned decay in norm.
