Abstract

This chapter reports a design-based study that examines core game mechanics that enable an intrinsic integration of domain-specific learning. In particular, the study aims to extract the design heuristics that promote content engagement in the actions of architectural construction in Earthquake Rebuild, a 3D epistemic simulation game that aims to promote active math learning for middle-school students. Data were collected from iterative expert reviews and user-testing studies. Based on the study findings, the chapter presents qualitative, analytic speculations on the design of the game-play mode and perspective, the granularity level, the user input interface, and incentives for attentive content engagement that will reinforce the learning affordance and playability of the core game gaming actions.
