Abstract

Inline with the BSCS 5E instructional model, we are using constructivist learning to teach physics in a heavily modified Minecraft game server. However, not all players like to be creative or are good at it. Because of this, we are creating three inspiration interventions to study their impact on learning and creative outcomes. Our model of inspiration incorporates three of the creativity resources defined by Investment Theory: knowledge, motivation and environment. We report on our current protocol, piloting of the protocol and our evolving methods of intervention creation.
