Abstract :
In the training of scientific literacy, the game-based platform which can dynamically reflect and interact with studentspsila behaviors has been applied to support the scientific inquiry assessment in recent years. Since the design of game scenarios for scientific inquiry assessment usually needs multidisciplinary domain knowledge, the Wiki-based platform is applied to support collaborative designing. However, there are scenario linkage issues for designs in consecutive game layers and multidisciplinary convergence issue for multidisciplinary game logic designs. To solve the first issue, the Wiki-based prototyping scheme is proposed to manage the linkage using framework design. For the second issue, the multidisciplinary Delphi method is proposed to select the desired game logic by questionnaire approach. To support the multidisciplinary consensus, the multidisciplinary indicators are proposed to reveal the expertspsila certainty degree in different point of views. The scheme has been applied to designing several scientific inquiry subjects in the physics domain. The results show that the proposed scheme is efficient and effective.
