Towards in situ measurement of affective variables during playing educational LARPs: A pilot study
Original language description
Live action role playing games can be used for educational purposes (edu-LARPs), but information about their learning effectiveness is limited. To our knowledge, even quantitative instruments for in situ measuring (i.e. during playing the game) of affective constructs, for instance flow or generalized positive and negative affect in edu-LARPs, are lacking. Existing instruments cannot be applied straightforwardly due to several reasons; most notably, because they are not gamified. Administering a non-gamified inventory in the game can influence/interrupt the states it is supposed to measure. The research aim of our new project is to investigate acquisition of mental models of mechanical devices learnt within an edu-LARP and correlate the quality of theacquired mental model with in situ flow and generalized positive/negative affect (planned N ~ 10 groups x 10 participants). So far, we have conducted three pilots (N ~ 10, 12, 13) for which we developed a new method for assessing these co
