“…The design-in-the-small simulation game should mirror the design-in-the-large situation, in terms of roles of the actors, resources, communities of practice, social organization and other facets. In a 'design-in-the-small' game, solutions, future situations or problems can be enacted and analyzed, leading to a hypothesized possible solution for the design-in-the-large (Klabbers 2003(Klabbers , 2008.…”

“…Humankind is inherently playful (Huizinga 1938(Huizinga /1955. Play entails stepping into a "magic circle" where an alternative reality applies (Klabbers 2006). He defines the nature of play as being free, separate, uncertain, unproductive, regulated, and fictive, with the last two characteristics tending to exclude one another.…”

Education Innovation Series

Education holds the key to unlock human resources that a society needs to survive and flourish. This is particularly salient in a borderless knowledge economy. For the past decades, the sterling performance of economies such as Hong Kong, Finland, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan in international studies (e.g. TIMSS, PIRLS and PISA) has channeled much attention away from the traditional centers of education research in America and Western Europe. Researchers, policy makers and practitioners all over the world wish to understand how education innovations propel the emerging systems from good to great to excellent, and how different their trajectories were compared to the systems in America and Western Europe.The Education Innovation Book Series, published by Springer, will delve into education innovations enacted by the Singapore education system and situate them in both the local and the broader international contexts. Primary focus will be given to pedagogy and classroom practices; education policy formulation and implementation; school and instructional leadership; and the context and interface between education research, policy and practice. We believe that the latter is critical in making education innovations come to bear. Each volume will document insights and lessons learned based on empirical research (both quantitative and qualitative) and theoretical analyses. Implications to research, policy and professional practice will be surfaced through comparing and synthesizing Singapore's experience with those of successful systems around the world.The audience of the edited volumes and monographs published in this series includes researchers, policy makers, practitioners and students in the fields of education and teacher education, and public policies related to learning and human resources.

“…Player participation is based on the establishment of relationships, whether of competition or cooperation, or through any another type of communication. This lens is based on the perspective of games as social systems [12]. Evidence for the plausibility of this lens can be found in literature on the context of player motivations -"Socializing", "Relationship", "Teamwork" [19], "The People Factor" [13]; player profiles -"Socializers" [2]; and the characterization of the gameplay experience -"Camaraderie" [5].…”

In this paper we present a game design and evaluation model centered on the concept of participation, the way players take part in gameplay activity, from which gameplay experience emerges. The variety and subjectiveness of experiences enabled by the videogame medium lead us to consider the challenge of how to frame the notion of participation in a model of gameplay experience, that could serve as a guide for designers. The proposed model aims to contribute to an informed game design process by focusing on six perspectives of player participation: Playfulness, Challenge, Embodiment, Sociability, Sensemaking and Sensoriality. These perspectives are then exercised along three operational levels: Intention, Artifact and Participation -the setting of gameplay experience goals, the characterization of the videogame object, and the evaluation of the player experience.
