This development and research project from Vanderbilt University, Facet Innovations, and Filament Games, designs, develops, and tests a digital game-based learning environment for supporting, assessing and analyzing middle school students' conceptual knowledge in learning physics, specifically Newtonian mechanics. This research integrates work from prior findings and refines computer assisted testing and Hidden Markov Modeling to develop a new methodology to engage students in deep learning while diagnosing and scaffolding the learning of Newtonian mechanics.The project uses a randomized experimental 2 x 1 design comparing a single control condition to a single experimental condition with multiple iterations to test the impact of the game on the learning of Newtonian physics. Using designed based research with teachers and students, the researchers are iteratively developing and testing the interactions and knowledge acquisition of students through interviews, pre and post tests and stealth assessment. Student learner action logs are recorded during game-play along with randomized student interviews. Students' explanations and game-play data are collected and analyzed for changes in domain understanding using pre-post tests assessment. The project will afford the validation of EGAME as an enabler of new knowledge in the fields of cognition, conceptual change, computer adaptive testing and Hidden Markov Modeling as 90 to 300 middle school students learn Newtonian mechanics, and other science content in game-based learning and design. The design of this digital game platform encompasses a very flexible environment that will be accessible to a diverse group of audiences, and have a transformational affect that will advance theory, design and practice in game-based learning environments.

范德比尔特大学（Vanderbilt University）的开发和研究项目，方面的创新以及细丝游戏，设计，开发和测试基于数字游戏的学习环境，用于支持，评估和分析中学生在学习物理学方面的概念知识，尤其是牛顿力学。这项研究从先前的发现并完善了计算机辅助测试和隐藏的马尔可夫建模，以开发一种新方法，以吸引学生进行深度学习，同时诊断和脚手架牛顿力学的学习。该项目使用随机的实验2 x 1设计，将单个控制条件与单个实验条件与单个实验条件与多个迭代进行多种迭代的影响，以测试游戏对新顿人物理学的影响的影响。利用与教师和学生进行设计的研究，研究人员正在迭代地开发和测试通过访谈，测试和后测试以及隐身评估来对学生的互动和知识获取。 学生学习者的动作日志在游戏玩法中记录以及随机学生访谈。 通过使用PEST测试评估，收集和分析了学生的解释和游戏数据，以了解域理解的变化。该项目将提供验证Egame作为认知，概念变化，计算机自适应测试和隐藏的Markov建模领域的新知识的推动者，因为90至300名中学生学习了牛顿力学和基于游戏的学习和设计中的其他科学内容。这个数字游戏平台的设计涵盖了一个非常灵活的环境，该环境将被各种各样的受众群体访问，并具有变革性的影响，可以在基于游戏的学习环境中推进理论，设计和实践。
