ИСТИНА

The facilitators want to know what happens in simulation games and would like to capture this. Long-term effect studies of simulation games are limited in number due to many factors possibly interfering in these long-term effects. Most evaluation studies consist of pre-test/post-test studies and these are valuable. However, other ways of measurements can deliver even more insight into what are the real learning effects. A diversity of methods can be used for capturing different types of learning and knowledge that develop in the gameplay itself and there is still a large part of learning that takes place that is difficult to capture. In this workshop, the facilitators discuss theoretical and practical research known in the field, suggest best practices, and hope to lower the threshold for measurement in the gameplay to look beyond the pre and post-test! This valuable information provides with handholds to improve the practice as simulation game professionals even more. Questions addressed are: - How can winning a simulation game actually be losing on learning? - What simple methods can be used to capture learning in gameplay? - What do results tell facilitators and not tell them when they measure? The facilitators hope that participants want to discuss, play and exchange ideas with the former in this interactive and highly relevant workshop.
