In particular, they closely examine <em>RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT#), <\/em>a computer-based economic simulation strategy game for building amusement parks. The games present a different pedagogical stance from traditional direct or guided instructional practices (Foreman, 2004), and the attributes include the ability for contextualizing, individualizing, collaborating, and experiential learning. The TPACK framework provides a focused analysis of how technology integrates with content and pedagogy. The authors note that by knowing what content a game offers, the game analysis facilitates what to focus on for assessment of learning. The chapter presents detailed analysis of <em>RCT3<\/em>, which involves understanding of economic principles by using the TPACK framework and Playing Research Methodology (PRM). They conclude that <em>RCT3<\/em> combines knowledge of economics, social studies, and information and technology literacy skills. The players can also learn basic physics principles and mathematics while playing the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foster, A., Mishra, P., &amp; Koehler, M.
