Abstract
Construction project is a major learning of the civil engineering educational program. However, the related knowledge is difficult to apprehend and assimilate during lectures since it is theoretical and practical work or tutorials on the subject are scarce. To address this issue, the authors developed DOMEGO, a game for teaching construction projects to civil engineering students. This board game aims to provide students with active and experiential learning of the key issues of a construction project. In the game, each player embodies a stakeholder of a construction project and must carry out the project while meeting her/his objectives. DOMEGO has been successfully integrated into an instructional setting of undergraduate students in Civil Engineering at the University of Bordeaux and Polytech, Nice Engineering School. Student feedback collected in the post-game survey was very positive. However, a more thorough analysis with a real evaluation protocol would be necessary to validate the game interest to teach construction project.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the International Journal of Game-Based Learning (IJGBL) is to promote knowledge pertinent to the design of Game-Based Learning environments, and to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of Game-Based Learning. The main goals of IJGBL are to identify, explain, and improve the interaction between learning outcomes and motivation in video games, and to promote best practices for the integration of video games in instructional settings. The journal is multidisciplinary and addresses cognitive, psychological and emotional aspects of Game-Based Learning. It discusses innovative and cost-effective Game-Based Learning solutions. It also provides students, researchers, instructors, and policymakers with valuable information in Game-Based Learning, and increases their understanding of the process of designing, developing and deploying successful educational games. IJGBL also identifies future directions in this new educational medium.
