The Effect of Competition and Contextualized Advisement on the Transfer of Mathematics Skills in a Computer-Based Instructional Simulation Game.
Van Eck, Richard; Dempsey, Jack
Educational Technology Research and Development, v50 n3 p23-41 2002
This study examined the effect of video-based contextualized advisement and competition on transfer of mathematics skills in a computer-based simulation game in which participants helped their "aunt and uncle" fix up a house. Participants were 123 seventh- and eighth-grade students. Results indicated an interaction between competition and contextualized advisement. (Contains 57 references.) (MES)
