Scope of Project
Our intent was to identify the kinds of learning that was taking place as a result of engaging in video game play. Research Question: How do boys describe their own learning in games? To do so we asked a round of rather general questions to uncover student experiences during game play. Our interest is in all types of learning accounts. Revising our coding scheme is an ongoing process as well as our process of analysis towards clarifying emerging themes. Our future steps will then be to construct more specific questions for the participants in order to draw out a deeper undertanding of particular elements of their learned experiences as well as the extent to which they may align with CCSS. This second round of interviews will provide more stable understanding of learning that maps to CCSS.
