Dr. Lenka Garshol (Agder, Norwegen): (Digital) games as tool for learning and assessment
Students in Norway who enroll in English programs are usually fluent in English, but they often struggle with linguistic terminology and many fall behind during the first weeks of their introductory linguistic courses. To test whether the use of learning games can contribute to higher levels of intrinsic motivation and increased willingness to invest time in their own learning the author has developed and tested a digital Escape room game targeting English morphosyntax and phonetics using Active Presenter software. The game was played by six student groups (n=110) under several conditions (learning task, assessment task, in groups, individually, in class, at home). The results show that the students invested the most time and reported the highest gains in the high-stakes condition (assessment) but the nature of the game makes it more suitable for formative than summative assessment (i.e. as a learning task).
