Abstract

This study presents Quantitative Field Observations (QFOs) of educationally relevant affect and behavior among students at three schools using Reasoning Mind, a game-based software system designed to teach elementary-level mathematics. High levels of engagement are observed. Possible causes for these high levels of engagement are considered, including the interactive pedagogical agent and other design elements.
