SUMMARY:Games\, learning & the future of education\, Chaos & Complex S
 ystems Seminar\, Kurt Squire & Constance Steinkuehler\, UW Department 
 of Curriculum and Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Games have emerged as an ascendant cultural form and metap
 hor for modern experience. As games (and associated ideas such as gami
 fication) transform social institutions\, they are poised to transform
  learning and education. In this presentation\, we review research on 
 games as designed experiences\, game communities as learning communiti
 es\, and the role of games in changing the face of institutions for le
 arning. We begin with a general overview of key\, driving ideas in the
  field of games and learning. We dive down into basic research on lear
 ning with games in formal and informal learning settings\, exploring i
 nterest-driven models of learning in after school gaming clubs. We the
 n turn toward design-based research efforts exploring the potential fo
 r designing games for learning\, particularly in science. This model\,
  aEurooedesigning games to broaden public participation in scienceaEur
 o illustrates an emerging pedagogical model in which games are used to
  create context\, spark interest\, develop skills and knowledge and th
 en propel learners toward authentic participation in complex social pr
 actices.
