Climate change mitigation game

摘要

This paper presents a game-based learning used to familiarize students with the climate change mitigation strategies. The main tool used in the game is a paper form, which constitutes a scaffold providing the supportive learning material. It helps the students to better structure and understand the possible human responses to climate change considering political, technological and economical dimensions. The way the game is organized incentives them to take an active role. They are both collaborating and competing, which enhances interaction and results in their strong engagement in the learning process. Different scaffolding strategies such as peer interaction, questioning, repetitions, structuring, etc. have been incorporated in the game to achieve effective lecturing.
