Integrating a Moral Reasoning Game in a Blended Learning Setting: Effects on Students' Interest and Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hong, Jon-Chao; Hwang, Ming-Yueh; Wu, Nien-Chen; Huang, Ying-Luan; Lin, Pei-Hsin; Chen, Yi-Ling – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
A new approach to moral education using blended learning has been developed. This approach involves 10 scenarios that are designed as a web-based game and serves as a basis for group moral-consequence-based reasoning, which is developed based on a hypothetical-deductive model. The aim of the study was to examine the changes in students' blended…
