Video games may represent an experience mediated by digital environments in which an immersive learning happens. Game-based learning (GBL) entails a high degree of metacognitive skills: learning is deeper when gamers are prompted to explain their thoughts and actions, to reflect on learning and on their self-regulation. To foster the metacognitive nature of GBL a modular reflective design framework (MO.RE.GBL) is proposed, focusing the phased construction of the learning process, the role of teachers and students’ autonomy and self-regulation, through a reflective approach. The framework can be used by teachers to design GBL activities or with their students to focus the learning process. Students may use it to self-regulate and personalize their GBL experience through the selection of their sequence of activities.

Abstract
Video games may represent an experience mediated by digital environments in which an immersive learning happens. Game-based learning (GBL) entails a high degree of metacognitive skills: learning is deeper when gamers are prompted to explain their thoughts and actions, to reflect on learning and on their self-regulation. To foster the metacognitive nature of GBL a modular reflective design framework (MO.RE.GBL) is proposed, focusing the phased construction of the learning process, the role of teachers and students’ autonomy and self-regulation, through a reflective approach. The framework can be used by teachers to design GBL activities or with their students to focus the learning process. Students may use it to self-regulate and personalize their GBL experience through the selection of their sequence of activities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
