Hi All,
I was wondering if any of you might have studies with data already collected (qualitative or quantitative) and at least partially analyzed that would fit within an AERA session on games to be submitted to Division C Section 1b: Humanities, Social Sciences, Fine Arts.
Kurt Squire expressed interest and now we are looking for more folks.
I have a study that focused on kids learning about Jacksonian democracy with interview data, survey data, and test data for students and teachers at several schools. Do any of you have studies you would like to include in the proposal? Or know of other folks who might be good possible fits? I’ve pasted the section description below. I would refine the specific theme of the session based on the constituent studies and having a mix of methodologies represented across the studies would be great. A mix of humanities, social sciences, and fine arts would be great.
Thanks! Doug
Section 1b: Humanities, Social Sciences, Fine Arts. Research on learning and instruction in the humanities (e.g., history, literary studies), social sciences (e.g., economics, geography, citizenship/ political science), and fine arts (e.g., art, music, dance). Research may involve formal or informal learning contexts, including international settings, and may emphasize content knowledge, disciplinary procedures, instructional design, and ideas about the purpose of learning, or the influence of factors such as social identity.
