Game-Based Learning: a Cognitive Pedagogical Approach for ImprovingStudents’ Information Literacy

In the world of digital information, university students need more critical thinking to have the ability to evaluate and use information resources. The paper presents the preliminary findings of the Project NAVIGATE (09/2017-08/2020) focused on Higher Education (HE) students in Humanities as major target. It aims to enhance student learning with the creation of a set of games based didactical resources (methodologies, competency tree, digital serious games) that can hopefully support the Information Literacy competencies.

在数字信息时代，大学生亟需培育更强的批判性思维，以具备评估与利用信息资源的能力。本研究汇报了NAVIGATE项目（2017年9月—2020年8月）的初步研究成果，该项目以人文专业的高等教育（Higher Education, HE）学生为核心目标群体。该项目旨在通过研发一套基于游戏的教学资源体系（涵盖教学方法论、能力树、数字严肃游戏（digital serious games）），提升学生的学习成效，以期为学生的信息素养（Information Literacy）能力培育提供支撑。
