Data-informed curriculum sequences for a curriculum-integrated game

Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, 635–644.

By: R. Akintunde n, P. Shabrina n, V. Catete n, T. Barnes n, C. Lynch n & T. Rutherford*

Contributors: R. Akintunde n, P. Shabrina n, V. Catete n, T. Barnes n, C. Lynch n & T. Rutherford*

author keywords: Serious Game Analytics; Curricular Sequencing; Retries; Educational Games
TL;DR: A predictive analysis of a curriculum-integrated math game, ST Math, is performed to suggest a partial ordering for the game's curriculum sequence, and it is observed that when the objectives were played in the suggested sequence, a drastic reduction in retries is recorded, implying that these objectives are easier for students.
