Journal Article
Playing with complex systems?
2020
Overview
The current socio-ecological challenges and phenomena that are major topics of geography education, like climate change and migration, are highly complex. Maturity in these contexts requires a networked way of thinking, and a systemic competence that is difficult to develop in geography classes alone. Digital games that simulate complex systems which include the pressing issues of today's challenges may be a useful supplement to foster systems thinking. In this study, [the authors] develop a framework to assess the complexity of in-game systems. A subsequent analysis of a selection of current commercial strategy and simulation games shows how system complexity is designed differently in the various games. Based on these results, [the authors] make recommendations for the selection and use of different games in formal and informal learning contexts. (Orig.).
