Improving Critical Thinking through Gaming
We are researching how to improve critical thinking through gaming. It involves filling out a 10-minute survey. This is followed by playing a game, taking around 30 minutes. Finally, you fill out another 10-minute survey. The total time taken is around 50 minutes. We don’t foresee any discomforts from taking part. While the game is part of class activities, taking part in the research is voluntary. You can withdraw at any time and for any reason. Whether you take part has no effect on class grades. If you decide not to take part, you may be given other assignments to work on during class time.
Any information supplied is confidential. We don’t collect any identifying details to ensure privacy. The anonymous data could be used for future research.
