Ipads & Problem solving

Why?

Problem solving contexts

• Challenging games
• engagement + learning flow
• in game learning + poblem solving

Game design & learning experiences

• learning pathways
• high flow = high motivation & engagement
• timely feedback
• external links and distractions

Gaming chioces

• boys preferred games with more spatial reasoning & map based
• girls liked games that required computational accuracy and logic problem solving

Students interactions during Problem solving

• Interacted less during: analysis, planning & assessment stages
• Interacted more during implementing problem solving goals
