Johan Lind – Design and Technology Education, 2024
Given the profound influence that technology has on society, shaping our behaviours, conversations, and decisions, it is essential to understand its development and nature. Obtaining a complete understanding of technology requires us to explore both the nature of technology and its historical aspects. This study examines how using supportive…

Frank, Anders – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
A risk associated with the use of games in training and education is that players "game the game," instead of focusing on their learning goals. The term "gamer mode" is proposed to describe this attitude. A player with a gamer-mode attitude strives to achieve goals that are optimal for winning the game, but suboptimal with…

Bierschenk, Bernhard – 1978
A psycho-ecological model is used as the basis for a simulation of interactive behavior strategies. The basic unit is an event, and each event has been recorded on closed circuit television videotape. The three basic paradigms of behavioral science--association, structure, and process--are used to anchor the simulations. The empirical foundation…
