Abstract
Digital Game Based Learning (DGBL) was considered as an effective way to engage learners and enhance learning performance. This case study demonstrates a design case that uses DGBL to support writing practices using student-centered pedagogy in K-12 education. Minecraft is used as a tool of transferring students’ imagination and abstract design to actual writing and building. We investigated a curriculum of adopting Minecraft in writing practices and analyzed students’ writing artifacts to identify the elements that fulfill US Common Core State Standards (CCSS) requirements in a rich digital learning environment. In this study, we found that using DGBL could develop students’ literacy skills that meet CCSS in a student-centered curriculum and eventually support students to prepare for standardized tests. Implications for K-12 educators are also considered.
