Acknowledgements

The past year working on this research study has been very rich.  I feel like I have just dipped my big toe in the fields of teacher-led and game-based learning research.  I am looking forward to engaging in more research moving forward.

Of course, none of my research would have been possible without a large number of people who assisted me along the way.  I would like to sincerely thank the Newton Foundation for providing the Eureka funding for this research study.  I am also indebted to the skillful facilitators of the Eureka program:

  • Clare Kosnik, Pooja Dharamshi, Shelley Murphy, Elizabeth Rosales (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto)
  • Rosemary Evans, Heather Henricks, Amy Paradine (University of Toronto Schools)

I would also like to thank my fellow Eureka researchers who were not only a huge support, but are some of the best teaching colleagues one could ever hope for:

  • Garth Chalmers, Christopher Federico, Josh Fullan, and ​Catherine Wachter

My external advisor, Sarah Chu, has been instrumental in keeping me on the right track.  Sarah is a Ph.D. candidate in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she does research in the field of games and learning.

I would like to extend my appreciation to the insightful Grade 9 students at University of Toronto Schools - their eager willingness to participate in this research study has been invaluable.

​
Finally, I would like to thank the National Film Board and David Dufresne, the creator of Fort McMoney, for this powerful addition to the field of game-based learning.
