Assessing implicit science learning in digital games

Rowe, E., Asbell-Clarke, J., Baker, R. S., Eagle, M., Hicks, A. G., Barnes, T. M., … Edwards, T. (2017, March 22). Computers in Human Behavior.

By: E. Rowe, J. Asbell-Clarke, R. Baker *, M. Eagle n, A. Hicks n, T. Barnes n, R. Brown  n, T. Edwards

author keywords: Computer-based assessment; Implicit science learning; Game-based learning; Educational data mining; Learning analytics
topics (OpenAlex): Educational Games and Gamification; Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning; Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods
TL;DR: Results suggest GBLA shows promise for future work such as adaptive games and in-class, data-driven formative assessments, but design of the assessment mechanics must be carefully crafted for each game. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 article

Understanding problem solving behavior of 6–8 graders in a debugging game

Liu, Z., Zhi, R., Hicks, A., & Barnes, T. (2017, January 2). Computer Science Education, Vol. 27, pp. 1–29.

By: Z. Liu n, R. Zhi n , A. Hicks n & T. Barnes n

author keywords: Debugging; K-12; educational games; computational thinking
topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Educational Games and Gamification; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: It was found that in the authors' programming game, debugging required deeper understanding than writing new codes, and problem solving behaviors were significantly correlated with students’ self-explanation quality, number of code edits, and prior programming experience.

2014 article

Building Games to Learn from Their Players: Generating Hints in a Serious Game

Hicks, A., Peddycord, B., & Barnes, T. (2014, January 1). Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

By: A. Hicks n, B. Peddycord n & T. Barnes n

topics (OpenAlex): Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning; Artificial Intelligence in Games; Educational Games and Gamification
TL;DR: A novel approach to modeling student states for open-ended problems, like programming in BOTS, is introduced, potentially generalizable to programming tutors for mainstream languages. (via Semantic Scholar)
