An Online MMORPG Card Game Based on Multi-Dimensional Scaffolding to Develop Reading Comprehension and Contextual Problem-Solving Skills

Abstract

This study designed an online massively multiple online role-playing card game that integrates a multi-dimensional scaffolding framework. The learning goal is to develop students' reading comprehension and contextual problem-solving skills. The game components include task cards (contextual problem-solving texts) and knowledge cards (corresponding to the learning content of the task cards). Students first need to read and analyze the text and learning information of the task cards and match the correct knowledge cards within a limited time. Multi-dimensional scaffolding provides students with three different dimensional clues in the game to help students complete the game tasks. Preliminary experimental results showed that students have a high degree of flow in this game activity. They think the game is easy to operate and will not cause excessive anxiety.
