A Reflective Game Design framework for Game-Based Learning

Reflective practice is the ability to revisit and reassess one's previous actions engage intentionally in process of learning. The concept reflection leads from unconscious aspects learning or experience mindful awareness, giving an individual power absorb everyday experiences make appropriate conscious choices. Digital games game-based (GBL) offer interactive with authentic a high retention rate. are also considered immersive safe medium stealth freedom identify, explore, fail, then retry. Main game elements such as feedback user interface (UI), head-up displays (HUDs), maps, prompt messages, social discourse reflective nature; therefore, by default, machines mediums for triggering supporting However, despite having improve teaching practical form, work dedicated design GBL still limited. Previous studies have incorporated practices into environment These may vary over domains yield different outcomes that not converged yet. While current comprises all features facilitate "as whole set", it misses differences. getting maximum usage nature content while maintaining fun criteria can be challenging. Hence, sound methodology guidelines needed assist designer aiding effective practices. In this paper, our primary purpose align existing approaches provide framework incorporate designing GBL. intention will help designers, educators, researchers following
