clear: students need access to information and encouragement to pursue thatinformation if they are to successfully detect and resolve discrepancies through adaptation anddecision-making.Points of ImprovementGame Assessment. We found that the weekly reports were helpful in familiarizing the gamemasters with teams’ decision-making processes, and would like to continue this form of serialassessment. However, the prompts for these weekly reports should be more specific, and shouldalign with the learning frameworks identified in our analysis. We propose that in each weeklyreport, teams should be asked to reflect on the following: (1) What discrepancies exist betweenexpected and actual results of the previous week, (2) what strategies led to the

of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication,as a guide to belief and action”.10 In this context, critical thinking targeted in this study is thestudents’ ability to gather information through various activities and connect and integrate thisinformation for use (as a guide to action) in a more complex assignment. The approach used issimilar to the one employed in Linder et. al. study in terms of assignment sequencing andbreaking up a larger assignment into smaller assignments. However, the smaller assignmentsused in this study are different in nature and type, and how they are connected
