Abstract

Little research has addressed the importance of what kind of abilities do gamer developed from their gaming experience in everyday practice. The aim of this study was to using Game Transfer Phenomena as a lens to illuminate gamers’ knowledge revealed in the problems they posed in elementary math classrooms. Two major categories of gaming community knowledge were emerged: 1) deconstructing gameplay logic and 2) internalizing the trial-and-error strategy.
