Summary
Serious games facilitate knowledge co-creation in watershed governance by enhancing team collaboration. Analyzing interaction maps reveals how these simulations foster boundary crossing and shared understanding among participants.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Game Studies
- Social Science
Background:
- Understanding team dynamics is crucial for leveraging serious games in knowledge co-creation.
- Serious games offer potential for enhancing collaboration in complex governance contexts like watershed management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze team dynamics and interaction patterns during serious game simulations.
- To investigate the role of serious games in fostering boundary crossing and knowledge co-creation.
Main Methods:
- Data collected from 40 participants across four serious game simulation events.
- Participants played the Aqua Republica serious game in small teams.
- Interaction data was visualized using GEPHI software to create interaction maps.
Main Results:
- Interaction maps visually represent the progression of team interactions over four gameplay phases.
- The study provides data supporting the use of serious games for collaborative learning.
Conclusions:
- Serious games can act as catalysts for boundary crossing and knowledge co-creation in watershed governance.
- Analyzing interaction patterns within serious games provides insights into collaborative processes.

217
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
