本文报告了教师对一种名为参与式模拟的手持应用程序的教育负担的看法。它提供了来自五个案例的证据，每个案例代表了使用这些计算工具的每个人群。多个数据来源的证据在增强动机、参与度和自我指导学习方面产生了与之前对手持活动的研究评估相似的结果。本课程还讨论了另外三个主题，以深入了解参与式模拟在课程中的适用性，参与式模拟建议对无处不在和可访问的移动计算采取新的态度。这些主题通常指向其设计所固有的社会和认知灵活性的多个层面：易于适应主题内容、知识和课程整合；便于实现教师个性化的目标；以及鼓励采用以学习者为中心的策略。
This paper reports on teachers’ perceptions of the educational affordances of a handheld application called Participatory Simulations. It presents evidence from five cases representing each of the populations who work with these computational tools. Evidence across multiple data sources yield similar results to previous research evaluations of handheld activities with respect to enhancing motivation, engagement and self-directed learning. Three additional themes are discussed that provide insight into understanding curricular applicability of Participatory Simulations that suggest a new take on ubiquitous and accessible mobile computing. These themes generally point to the multiple layers of social and cognitive flexibility intrinsic to their design: ease of adaptation to subject-matter content knowledge and curricular integration; facility in attending to teacher-individualized goals; and encouraging the adoption of learner-centered strategies.
