Abstract

Research has found that successful game-based learning (GBL) is dependent on several factors, e.g. students, parents, teachers and educational setting. Nevertheless, many existing GBL solutions primarily consider the student. Similarly, they focus on imparting and assessing content-specific knowledge rather than encouraging students to become intrinsically motivated learners. This paper presents CURIO, an educational game kit that involves teachers as ‘game masters’. It encourages inquisitive mindsets in students and helps to structure discussions when introducing a new topic in class. It informs the teacher of students’ pre-existing knowledge so that they can better shape upcoming classes to their needs. A pilot study with a class of 25 primary school students and their homeroom teacher evaluated a prototype of CURIO. The paper concludes with guidelines learned from creating and testing CURIO that can help with the development of tools for teachers using the same design philosophy.

CURIO 2.0:一个本地网络多人游戏工具包，以鼓励好奇的心态

研究发现，成功的基于游戏的学习(GBL)取决于几个因素，例如学生、家长、老师和教育环境。然而，许多现有的GBL解决方案主要考虑的是学生。同样，他们注重传授和评估特定内容的知识，而不是鼓励学生成为有内在动机的学习者。本文介绍了CURIO，这是一款教育游戏套件，其中教师是“游戏大师”。它鼓励学生好奇的心态，并有助于在课堂上引入新话题时组织讨论。它告诉老师学生已有的知识，这样他们就可以更好地根据自己的需要塑造接下来的课程。一个由25名小学生和他们的班主任组成的班级进行了一项试点研究，评估了CURIO的原型。本文总结了从创建和测试CURIO中学到的指导方针，这些指导方针可以帮助教师使用相同的设计理念开发工具。
