Implementation of a Curriculum-Integrated Computer Game for Introducing Scientific Argumentation.

ABSTRACT: Argumentation has been emphasized in recent U.S. science education reform efforts (NGSS Lead States 2013; NRC 2012), and while existing studies have investigated approaches to introducing and supporting argumentation (e.g., McNeill & Krajcik 2008; Kang, Thompson &Windschitl 2014), few studies have investigated how game-based approaches may be used to introduce argumentation to students. In this paper, we report findings from a design-based study of a teacher's use of a computer game intended to introduce the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) framework (McNeill &Krajcik 2012) for scientific argumentation. We studied the implementation of the game over two iterations of development in a high school biology teacher's classes. The results of this study include aspects of enactment of the activi
