Using both theoretical and empirical analyses, this collection examines cognitive, motivational, and psychometric issues with a focus on STEM content. Unlike other research-based volumes that focus solely on game design or the theoretical basis behind gaming, this book unites previously disparate communities of researchers--from civilian to military contexts as well as multiple disciplines--to critically explore current problems and illustrate how instructionally effective games and simulations should be planned and evaluated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile computer-based simulations and games have the potential to improve the quality of education and training, \u003ci\u003eUsing Games and Simulations for Teaching and Assessment: Key Issues\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the science of learning should underlie the use of such technologies. Through a wide-ranging yet detailed examination, chapter authors provide suggestions for designing and developing games, simulations, and intelligent tutoring systems that are scientifically-based, outcomes-driven, and cost-conscious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarold F.
