Course aims
The aim of this course is for students to develop an in-depth understanding of research findings related to self-regulation in digital games. In addition, a focus will be on translating this knowledge into something that is usable for students’ present/future careers and/or research agenda.
Brief description of the course
A variety of topics will be covered and class members will take turns leading the discussion each week. Assigned articles should be read before coming to class, and students should have access to the readings with them to class on the days they are to be discussed. Session leaders will: (a) facilitate the class discussion by preparing discussion questions and, (b) present one additional outside empirical article related to the week’s topic.
