Description
In this interactive workshop, participants will experience physics card games ("Phys-Cards") designed as a summative activity to help students organize what they have learned and make connections between externally different scenarios and underlying physics principles. The Phys-Card games have been implemented in a national network of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) for high school physics teachers (~300 teachers). The design principles, pedagogical rationale, benefits, and potential challenges will be discussed. We will share results from two years of experience with Phys-Card games in the PLCs and in teachers' classrooms, as well as insights into teachers' attitudes toward gamification in physics instruction.
