Abstract

Learners may not be motivated to actively participate in the stages of learning. This paper aims to motivate learners to get effectively involved in the learning process, i.e., they learn both directly from an instructor and by learning from and teaching each other in an interactive manner. Hence, we introduce a game with a purpose that motivates learners to become involved in the learning process to effectively improve their learning performance. In order to meet the mentioned objective, this paper proposes a game-theoretic approach based on explanation and competition, which uses competitive learning and explanatory techniques. In this game, the learners are encouraged to compete for more beneficial explanations of educational concepts. We also use rewards and punishments as a means of encouraging learners to provide efficient explanations. We then apply game theoretic concepts to analyze the defined parameters in the proposed game for a Nash equilibrium that leads learners to have stronger motivations for providing good explanations. In conclusion, the statistical analysis of experimental results using the Student's t-test indicates that the proposed game drives the learners to participate actively in different learning stages and helps them to improve their knowledge more efficiently.

A non-cooperative meta-modeling game for automated third-party calibrating, validating and falsifying constitutive laws with parallelized adversarial attacks

Journal Article Wang, Kun ; Sun, WaiChing ; Du, Qiang - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

The evaluation of constitutive models, especially for high-risk and high-regret engineering applications, requires efficient and rigorous third-party calibration, validation and falsification. While there are numerous efforts to develop paradigms and standard procedures to validate models, difficulties may arise due to the sequential, manual, and often biased nature of the commonly adopted calibration and validation processes, thus slowing down data collections, hampering the progress towards discovering new physics, increasing expenses and possibly leading to misinterpretations of the credibility and application ranges of proposed models. This work attempts to introduce concepts from game theory and machine learning techniques to overcome many ofmore »« less

MO-DE-BRA-01: Enhancing Radiation Physics Instruction Through Gamification and E-Learning

Journal Article Driewer, J ; Lei, Y ; Morgan, B ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: This project sought to “gamify” the instruction of radiation interaction physics concepts for technology students. Gamification applies game mechanics and user interactions in active learning contexts. In one part of this project, a self-guided eModule was developed for conceptual radiation interaction instruction. In a second part, a web-based game, Particle Launch (http://particle-launcher.ist.unomaha.edu), was created to challenge students to quickly apply radiation interaction concepts in a way that is stimulating and motivating. Methods: The eModule, focused on conceptual interaction physics, was designed in Adobe Captivate and incorporates animation, web videos, and assessment questions in order to generate student interest.

The Science and Issues of Human DNA Polymorphisms: A Training Workshop for High School Biology Teachers

Technical Report Micklos, David A.

This project achieved its goal of implementing a nationwide training program to introduce high school biology teachers to the key uses and societal implications of human DNA polymorphisms. The 2.5-day workshop introduced high school biology faculty to a laboratory-based unit on human DNA polymorphisms Ã¢ÂÂ which provides a uniquely personal perspective on the science and Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) of the Human Genome Project. As proposed, 12 workshops were conducted at venues across the United States. The workshops were attended by 256 high school faculty, exceeding proposed attendance of 240 by 7%.

Learning through social interaction in game technology.

Journal Article Waern, Annika ; Raybourn, Elaine Marie - Proposed for publication in Interactive Technology and Smart Education.

The present ITSE journal special issue on 'Learning About Social Interaction through Gaming' is the result of an invitation to the attendees of a one-day workshop on 'Social Learning Through Gaming' co-organized by the guest editors and held at the Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conference on April 26, 2004 in Vienna, Austria. CHI is one of the premiere conferences on human-computer interaction. CHI 2004 attracted hundreds of delegates from all over the world. The CHI workshop program results from a competitive selection process. The Social Learning through Gaming workshop was filled to capacity and attended by approximately 25more »« less
