{"pk":1707,"title":"Designing Games for Understanding in a Data Analysis Environment","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Ordinarily, when a student plays a game on a computer, a great deal of data are generated, but never used. This paper describes a technological innovation: games designed for learning mathematics or statistics concepts in which success requires data analysis. These “Data Games” are small-scale, short, web-based games, embedded in a data analysis environment, suitable for  students in about year 7 onwards, and in teacher preparation. We discuss design for the games themselves, curriculum and assessment issues, and connections to research.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"game design, statistical modeling, mathematical modeling, online tools, online games, data analysis"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/31t469kg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tim","middle_name":"","last_name":"Erickson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Epistemological Engineering","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-10-01T19:58:44Z","date_accepted":"2012-10-01T19:58:44Z","date_published":"2013-08-02T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/tise/article/1707/galley/1177/download/"}]}
