Description:
Game is a powerful educational tool able to involve students and keep their attention high, promoting
cognitive development, discoveries, reasoning, and thinking. It is also an effective active form of learning
which consolidates the acquired knowledge and carries out an authentic assessment through reality tasks
and immediate feedback typical of the use of the digital games. Our gamy-learning experimentation focuses
on new methods and practices of science communication, with the aim to face the challenge of educating
about natural risks and climate change. The goal is to facilitate the automatic choice of good practices,
by stimulating mind, intuition and logic in the perspective of teambuilding in school-based civic education.
The proper application of technological tools is a valuable aid for conscious communication for the next
generation. A Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Education is experienced, in order to test the
efficacy of our GeoQuest TROPOMAG digital adventure, and pave the ground for the implementation of
the storytelling in an integrated table game. Our climate change role-playing videogame explores
phenomena related to the possible effects of changes in the Earth's magnetic field on the atmosphere.
The virtual adventure path is played on smartphones and follows alternative paths chosen by the players to
develop the storytelling. As a result, students play not only “just for fun”, but also to actively participate in
their learning process and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in environmental issues.
