A Case Study of Student Learning Engagement in a Playful Environment

摘要：

　　In this paper,we present some lessons from a study that aims to integrate play and learning as a means to engage students in a reconfiguration of a conventional learning environment.Students worked on an open source platform,OpenSim,to design a full scale model of the school”s campus,investigating areas of their own choice,learning through design and construction through a learner-centred,project-based approach.It also outlines how the playful quality of this initiative provides a counterpoint to the perception that school is too rigid and formulaic.We also identify some of the practices of playful learning and making and how it is aligned with research on beneficial learning environments and intrinsic motivation.
