Use game-generated reports to inform tutors and assign targeted follow-up work¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

This strategy interweaves gameplay with tutoring: when students play the game, "reports were generated for tutors on what concepts students might be struggling to understand", and tutors can assign follow-up work in the game and receive a report on that work. The authors credit this integration with letting tutors target the areas of fraction understanding most in need and with providing students extra practice.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A shared game platform that generates per-student reports on concepts students struggle with
• Tutors able to assign follow-up work in the game and receive reports on it

Constraints¶

• In this design the contribution of the tutoring and gameplay components cannot be analytically separated

Target Learners¶

• Elementary students receiving supplementary tutoring in mathematics

Target Learning Goals¶

• Targeted remediation of fraction misconceptions

Related Strategies¶
