Educational Game Design And Development Integrated With Adaptive Learning Scaffolding

With the progress of science and technology and the continuous development of education cause in China,the information age of mankind is coming.More and more education workers begin to focus on the field of technology & education.In addition,the 41 st China Internet network information center(CNNIC)released the "statistical report on the development of China's Internet network",which shows that as of December 2017,the number of Internet users in China reached 772 million,and the Internet penetration rate was 55.8 percent.Among them,the scale of online game users reached 442 million,and the usage rate among the overall netizens was 57.2%.It can be seen that the number of game netizens accounts for half of the total number of Internet users,and the integration of game and education will also become the general trend of education in the future.National medium and long-term education reform and development plan for(2010-2020)respecting the rule of law of education and students' physical and mental development,and to provide appropriate education for each student,that is appropriate for each student to provide personalized development way of education.In education research,more and more education workers began to realize that “one size fits all” can't make all each learner successfully complete the tasks,because there are individual differences between learners,therefore,it is necessary to provide personalized guidance for learners in teaching.Similarly,it is of great value to develop learning scaffolding guidance suited for different learners in gamified learning environment.In this study,Literature Research Method,Evaluation method,Questionnaires and other research methods are adopted.Under the guidance of existing theories,game development software such as unity 3D is used to design and develop an educational game integrated with adaptive learning scaffolding.This research mainly includes the following aspects:(1)Research on the basic theory of learning scaffolding educational game design.On the basis of consulting a large number of relevant literatures,the theoretical basis and manifestation of learning scaffolds are analyzed and elaborated in depth.On the basis of theoretical analysis,the design idea of adaptive learning scaffolds for education games is elaborated.The theories in this study mainly including the theory of learning scaffolding and the theory of Bayesian network,laying a foundation for the model construction of adaptive learning scaffolding and the design and development of games.(2)Educational game function and structure model built with adaptive learning scaffolding.By consulting and analyzing literatures and referring to excellent research models at home and abroad,under the guidance of scaffolding theory and zone of proximal development,and through the use of Bayesian network for learner knowledge modeling,in order to design a game model of learning scaffolding that is suitable for learners' knowledge level,and improve the analysis of student model and teaching model in the structure,build the overall framework for the design and development of educational games.(3)The implementation of strategies of adaptive learning scaffolding in educational games.The purpose of this study is to provide learners with learning scaffolding support adapted to their knowledge level.Therefore,the knowledge level of learners should be monitored and estimated to determine the zone of proximal development.In this study,the Bayesian network is expected to be used to modeling learners' knowledge acquisition in real time,and the probabilistic relationship between learners' acquisition of concepts is inferred through the joint tree inference algorithm,so as to guide learners to the most suitable game levels and game prompts and achieve adaptive support.(4)Development and implementation of educational game instance.On the basis of the game design framework of the adaptive learning scaffolding,the knowledge content of the program control structure in the course "C program design" of the university was selected,and unity 3D was taken as the main game development platform to complete the development and production of game instances,and with the help of Photoshop,Premiere,MATLAB and other relevant software.(5)Educational game integrated with adaptive learning scaffolding effect verification.After the completion of educational game development,experimental subjects were selected for game trial,and questionnaires were distributed to investigate the game effect,so as to obtain students' satisfaction,acceptance,and improvement suggestions,etc.with the game,in order to improve the game in the future.Although there are certain achievements according to the results of the study of the educational game,due to the limitation of time and technology development ability,there are also many shortcomings.Hope that future research can continue to improve on the basis of the study,and gradually optimize the use of scaffolding in the game learning effect.
