Abstract
Chapter 11 describes how games may help people practice problem-solving skills such as analyzing solutions and systems. How are social and civic problems solved, and how might games support this? How might games help to understand problems as being dynamic and systemic? The chapter includes an overview of why problem-solving and systems thinking matter in civics and ethics, and why games may support this. It also includes the limitations of using games to explore problems, and how to minimize those limitations. Finally, it reviews strategies that teachers can take to use games to practice problem-solving and systems analysis skills. It opens with the example of the game Plague Inc., and also shares four examples-in-action: Happy Farm, Papers, Please, Quandary, and Vox Pop.
