This contribution proposes a conceptual framework that explores the potential relationships between core game mechanics and the processes underlying problem solving as a learning activity, drawing on both classical problem-solving theory (Polya, 1945; Schoenfeld, 1985) and broader models of self-regulated learning and strategic thinking.

Abstract

This contribution proposes a conceptual framework that explores the potential relationships between core game mechanics and the processes underlying problem solving as a learning activity, drawing on both classical problem-solving theory (Polya, 1945; Schoenfeld, 1985) and broader models of self-regulated learning and strategic thinking.
