Data for article: "Impact of gameplay vs. reading on social-ecological systems thinking:A fuzzy cognitive mapping approach

This study used a randomized controlled experiment to compare the impact of an educational card game versus a text-based article about the Arctic social-ecological system, on systems thinking skills. A total of 41 participants (game: n=20; reading: n=21) created pre- and post-intervention mental models of the system, based on a ‘fuzzy cognitive mapping’ approach.本研究采用随机对照实验设计，对比教育卡牌游戏与基于文本的文章两种教学素材，针对北极社会-生态系统（Arctic social-ecological system）相关内容，分析二者对受试者系统思维能力的影响差异。总计41名受试者参与实验（卡牌游戏组：n=20；文本阅读组：n=21），所有受试者均基于模糊认知映射（fuzzy cognitive mapping）方法，在干预前后分别构建了该系统的心理模型。
