Abstract
This study suggests a constructionist-learning framework to amplify students' engagement in introductory programming courses via a serious game that was held in Open Sim standalone server integrated with Scratch4OS. Fifty five (n=55) voluntary students from three different High schools have participated and experienced in Co. Co. I. A., a 3D mind-trap puzzle game. The empirical study findings indicated that behavioral engagement (attention, retention and energy expenditure for activity completion) does not only have a linear correlation with cognitive engagement (learning strategies for the construction of the knowledge domain), but it also has a positive nexus with emotional engagement (positive emotions and achievement orientation) in collaborative learning tasks, causing the reinforcement of the other two factors too.
本研究提出了一个建构主义学习框架，通过在与Scratch4OS集成的Open Sim独立服务器上举行的严肃游戏，扩大学生对入门编程课程的参与。来自三所不同高中的55名志愿学生参与并体验了一款3D思维陷阱益智游戏《Co. Co. I. A》。实证研究结果表明，行为投入(注意力、保持力和完成活动的能量消耗)不仅与认知投入(知识领域构建的学习策略)呈线性相关，而且与协作学习任务中的情绪投入(积极情绪和成就取向)呈正相关，导致其他两个因素也得到强化。
