Small groups, big mistakes: the emergence of faulty rules during a collaborative board game |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Recent research using games as learning environments has provided us with examples of situated learning processes (e.g., Gee, 2007). Board games, in particular, foster rich think-aloud cognition and small group reasoning (Smith, 2007). This study uses a collaborative board game as a site for understanding sense-making in small groups. We investigate how groups 'reconstruct' rules, and unpack how and when they coordinate an understanding of goals. We suggest this is done with the aid of. handles: concrete signifiers, such as physical objects, words, or gestures that players use as substitutes for complex rules. |
