Can Digital Games Boost Students’ Test Scores? | MindShift

Can Digital Games Boost Students’ Test Scores? | MindShift | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
A new report released today reveals the results attempting to answer the question: do digital games and simulation help students studying science, technology, math, and engineering achieve better learning outcomes?

Via Beth Dichter
Beth Dichter's curator insight, June 17, 10:02 PM

To what extend do digital games boost students' test scores in STEM? According to the preliminary data released by SRI "students at the median in the control group (no games) could have been raised 12 percent in cognitive learning outcomes if they had received the digital game." (From an analysis of 77 peer-reviewed journal articles K-16 in STEM.)

And it turns out that simulations may create a larger impact.

Take a look at this post and see where gamification may be heading in the future!

Raúl Luna's curator insight, June 16, 6:21 PM

Hacer escuela pública pasa también por ideas que son tan simples como algo que se parece a una suma aunque al final 1 +1 acaba por ser mucho más que 2 porque lo tuyo, más lo mío, más lo del otro acaban por componer algo nuestro, algo que no nos podrán robar porque son nuestras ideas y nuestra voluntad plasmadas para demostrar que las cosas se pueden hacer de otra manera.

Un aplauso, no, una ovación para esta iniciativa.

Raúl Luna's comment, June 17, 9:09 PM
Más allá de que la iniciativa me parezca muy interesante creo que hay que profundizar en la inclusión de recursos multimedia y en la explotación de la red para crear libros que, además, sean muestra de otros modelos didácticos.
De momento se me ocurre sugerir para las iniciativas que tengan que ver con arte o historia la utilización de imágenes libres como las que acaba de publicar la National Gallery of Art https://images.nga.gov/en/search/show_advanced_search_page/?service=search&action=do_advanced_search&language=en&form_name=default&all_words=&exact_phrase=&exclude_words=&artist_last_name=&keywords_in_title=&accession_number=&school=&Classification=&medium=&year=&year2=&open_access=1&page=1

CAEL: Job Skills and Experiential Learning

There is no shortage of discourse regarding our current economy’s widening skills gap. And as many employers will tell it, the shortage seems to be in their access to job-ready, credentialed workers.

Why We Fear MOOCs - The Conversation - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Why We Fear MOOCs - The Conversation - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

In a 2002 book the anthropologist David D. Gilmore explored our culture’s fascination with monsters. He noted that most monsters are a sort of hybrid. They defy simple explanation because they tend to straddle categories. They might be part human and part animal (like a werewolf) or part living and part dead (like a vampire). The monster is thus a mutated version of something we are already familiar with; it is both familiar and strange. It’s the monster’s amorphous nature that we find upsetting—it blurs categories, so it upsets the natural order of things, causing chaos.

I think that’s why we fear MOOCs. As hybrids, they defy easy categorization and threaten to upset the tidy categories we have for judging who is and is not college-educated. Like monsters, MOOCs threaten to disrupt our social world and bring chaos in their wake.

Associate degree program requirements typically top 60 credits | Inside Higher Ed

Associate degree program requirements typically top 60 credits | Inside Higher Ed | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Few community college students graduate on time. One reason many spend extra time and money trying to earn associate degrees is because community colleges often require more than 60 credits to meet academic program requirements.

Most four-year institutions now stick to the standard of 120 credit hours, according to a study conducted last year for Complete College America. But community colleges are a different story.

The survey, which was not publicly released, was designed to be representative of public institutions in all 50 states. It looked at program requirements at 310 institutions, about half of which are community colleges.
