Scoop! A Movement-based Math Game Designed to Reduce Math Anxiety

摘要

In this paper, we describe Scoop!, a movement-based game designed to reduce math anxiety. The game makes use of research on the effects of 'power poses' to explore whether movement mechanics can shift feelings about math for players. The Interactivity demonstration includes both a 'high power', Kinectdriven version of the game, and a 'low power', trackpad-driven version of the game. CHI attendees can try out both versions to physically experience the effects.
