The proposed project, Explanation and Prediction Increasing Gains and Metacognition (EPIGAME), will integrate metacognitive research on prediction and explanation into the design of a physics-based digital game environment to scaffold students' understanding of formal physics concepts. The design of the EPIGAME environment will support pilot and future research on games for learning through (a) randomized assignment of players to multiple configurations of parameters within the game and (b) ...
