Helping students to see their progress toward a goal by achieving short attainable goals is the basis of the game model. Using graphs and charts for visual evidence, mirrors the achievement of a new level in a game. I would really like to use this to help my students see how a regular study time helps them do better. I try to get my students that struggle to see that even though their grade is not what they want it does improve when they complete their work on time and study more. By graphing the number of points improved on a test as they complete a goal toward a study time, they would be able visualize their true progress rather than a test score. As a teacher of ninth graders, I want my students to develop skills to be successful in any future class not just science.
This would also be easy to apply when doing teaching the metric system. Students can make small attainable goals based on their math skills.
