Abstract: | This study investigates how activity structures influence how students represent their understanding of complex science concepts. Twenty-four second grade students were quasi-randomly assigned to either a modeling-play or game-play condition. In both conditions, students took on the role of embodying particles within a mixed-reality simulation to explore particulate nature of matter. Results showed that game-play influenced prompts and explanations to be more activity oriented, while modeling-play led conversations to encompass more conceptual nuances. |
