Operatio

Operation
n ARA is a serious

gamee developed by Keith M
Millis (Northeern Illinois U
University), A
Art
Graesser (University of Memphiss), and Dian
ne F. Halpernn (Claremonnt McKenna College) witth
input from
m a team off marvelous professionals
p
s, talented sttudents, and snotty avataars. It was
funded with

Higher Educaation, Publishhers.
Your misssion: to exp
pose the alien
ns who endeeavor to takee over Earth bby stealing oour natural
resourcess, spreading bad science, and lulling mankind innto mindless consumerism
m. These aliiens
must be stopped. As an agent with the Federal Bureau of Science, you will receive the latest
training methods to spot aliens posing as human scientists, you will identify the flaws in research
from a variety of fields, and you will interrogate suspected alien spies. This is the science-fiction
plot behind Operation ARA, an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that teaches scientific
reasoning and critical thinking skills. Student players become Federal Bureau of Science agentsin-training charged with defending Earth from aliens who are intent on destroying it. To defend
Earth, student agents must learn the principles of the scientific method and critical thinking. The
student players then must use these principles to evaluate case studies and interrogate suspected
alien scientists.
Operation ARA employs the scientific principles of learning and serious games. Students are
engaged in the material using the pedagogical principles of active learning, immediate feedback,
dialog interactivity, multimedia effects, distributed practice, and transfer of learning. “Hard fun”
is another principle that may increase the success of educational or epistemic games. This
phenomenon describes the resulting sense of satisfaction students experience after struggling to
understand a difficult topic. That is, the student’s enjoyment should increase as the game moves
from teaching basic declarative knowledge in the first module to the use of this knowledge in the
analysis of ecologically valid cases in the later modules.
