Research-Based Games Enhance Children's Learning
This 1998 article published in the "American Psychological Association Monitor" presents educational computer games that used research on what makes children motivated. They have focused their studies on school-age girls and their math skills. They discussed a game that leads children on a scavenger hunt through San Francisco landmarks, during which they solve math problems. I learned that competitive elements in a game seem to motivate boys more highly than girls. The article also seems, however, to be an advertisement for the educational software games at Sparkle Productions.
