Warren, Scott J.; Dondlinger, Mary Jo; Barab, Sasha A. – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2008
Two major obstacles to using problem-based learning methods with writing in elementary school classrooms are the time it takes to design the learning environment and the time required for students to interact at their own pace with ill-structured problems used to spur student writing. This study examined whether game elements could be used along…
