Subjects: "There were a total of 103 participants in the experiment: 50 students in one class (experimental group) used game-based learning materials; 53 students in the other class (control group) used non-game-based learning materials (webpage-based learning material)." Recon Results: Compared to non-game-based learning Game-based learning groups have lower extraneous cognitive loads and higher germane cognitive loads than non-game-based learning groupsGBL Field Agents: Chen, Y.

RECONNAISSANCE RECIEVED

"Yeah. So funny story. When I first started my doctoral program, we were required to take this class on gaming. And I remember saying such silly things as, like gaming? What? What does that have to do with serious education? What is this nonsense about fun and game and play? I remember saying that actually in a class and my professor Doctor Chan, he was so patient and so cool. Again, I think I stumbled upon it. And as I learned about what games do and game principles and importance of play as you encourage your students to love learning, that was so impressive. And what gamers do really well is they fail forward very well, right? Because if you think about how you're playing games, you have to negotiate rules. You have to negotiate the socialization within the game. And also you experience value or in a productive manner, and you just keep having to iterate to get to whatever the goals that you think you set within the game system as well as, the experience of gaming. So I absolutely think that game based learning is going to become more and more and more important as we automate and leverage more extended cognition through AI in the classroom and other types of technology that can allow some of the executive function or cognitive load to be lowered and bring more humanity into our learning interactions." -Dr. Kip Glazer
