Intentional learning with educational games: a Deweyan reconstruction /

Intentional learning with educational games: a Deweyan reconstruction / created by Yam San Chee - Australian Journal of Education Volume 58 , number 1 , .
Intentional learning has customarily been construed from a perspective that foregrounds cognitive engagement and mental life in meaning making. In this paper, I interrogate the said perspective. I argue that a theoretical positioning based on the dominant paradigm of human information processing psychology leads to incoherence because this paradigm results in “meaning-less cognition.” To get out of this conundrum, I offer a reconstruction of intentional learning from the perspective of Deweyan inquiry and the philosophy of pragmatism. I situate this reconstruction in the context of game-based learning.
