The Happy Maths programme, an impactful engagement initiative led by researchers at the School of Computer Science in TU Dublin, is generating interest in the world of primary education by using game-based learning to address the pervasive issue of maths anxiety. Funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the Irish Research Council (IRC), the Happy Maths research team will host the very first Happy Maths Cup on the University's campus in Grangegorman on Tuesday, 18 June, which will see 100 pupils from 20 primary school classes compete using the games created by researchers to help more young people have fun with maths. Maths anxiety is a significant concern in Ireland, affecting one out of six primary school students, particularly those in areas of social disadvantage. A recent survey involving 1,338 parents and 1,714 primary school students revealed that maths anxiety is more prevalent in DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) pupils, perpetuating a cycle of social inequalities and limiting future career opportunities for these children. Anxiety is also more severe among girls, exacerbating gender inequalities in STEM education and careers. Happy Maths, which was created byTU Dublin's Dr Pierpaolo Dondio and Dr Mariana Rocha, aims to break this cycle by offering a more creative and playful approach to maths education, which aligns with the new maths curriculum introduced by the Minister for Education. Norma Foley TD last year. The programme's evaluation shows promising results, with high engagement levels from anxious and non-anxious students and marked improvements in specific maths skills. "Maths enters a child's life through games: a simple card game, a board game, counting, or a game of chess," said Dr Pierpaolo Dondio, a lecturer in the School of Computer Science at TU Dublin. "The new maths curriculum introduced by Minister Foley is characterised by playfulness and creativity, offering opportunities for reasoning and solving real-life problems. Happy Maths offers a new approach using game-based learning in mathematics, which teachers can use to implement the curriculum when it commences in 2025." Happy Maths explicitly targets several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Quality Education (SDG 4), and Gender Equality (SDG 5). By improving the quality of maths education and mitigating the effects of maths anxiety, it aims to enhance children's overall well-being and promote gender equality in education. The Happy Maths programme has already made significant strides, earning the TU Dublin President Award 2019/2020 and three international awards for "best game" at the Irish Conference on Game-Based Learning and the European Conference on Game-Based Learning. In 2023, Dr Dondio was named a Fulbright Scholar, expanding the programme's reach and evaluating its effectiveness in collaboration with the University of Chicago and Georgetown University. "We did not expect kids would engage with our games so much, and this is evidence that maths can be taught in novel and creative ways," Dr Dondio remarked. "The Happy Maths Cup will celebrate and reward our best players with a day of fun competition. Happy Maths has provided a one-of-a-kind journey where the vibrant enthusiasm of the students rejuvenated our spirits, infusing us with youthful energy and a renewed passion for mathematics." Building on the lessons learned over the past three years, the Happy Maths research team is developing a new version of their games that better adapts and personalises content to each child's needs. This next phase aims to close the performance gap between boys and girls and ensure that all children, regardless of socioeconomic background, can enjoy and excel in maths. The Happy Maths Cup will take place on TU Dublin's Grangegorman Campus on Tuesday, 18th of June 2024.

What really happened in 1945? Explore how students grapple with historical events and figures to understand their distinctness and uniqueness. In this episode of Heterodox Out Loud, host John Tomasi interviews Professor Mark Carnes of Barnard College. Professor Carnes talks about his innovative approach to teaching history, which he calls "reacting to the past." He explains how this method challenges traditional teaching by immersing students in historical contexts through Live-Action Role-Playing (LARP).Professor Carnes shares the components of this approach, its impact on students' engagement, the complexity of character roles, and the unique insights it generates. By making history come alive in a way that traditional teaching methods may not achieve, "reacting to the past" provides a unique and engaging way to learn about the past.In This Episode:Teaching history through role-playing gamesEngaging students in historical complexitiesAdoption of live-action role-playing gamesConnecting with historical figures through gameplayThe transformative power of immersive learningFind out more about The Reacting Consortium here: https://reactingconsortium.org/Find out more about Mark here: https://barnard.edu/profiles/mark-c-carnes About Mark Carnes:Mark Carnes received his B.A. from Harvard and Ph.D. from Columbia. For the first half of his career, he was a very conventional historian, General Editor of the 17-million-word American National Biography (Oxford), and author or editor of dozens of books on American history. But around the turn of the century, he pioneered the Reacting to the Past program, where students played complex games set in the past, their roles informed by important texts. He has co-authored six games in the Reacting series, published by the University of North Carolina Press, and is the author of Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College (Harvard, 2014).  He teaches at Barnard College, Columbia University.

My guests are Jordan Dyson and Scott Provence and topic is their internationally award-winning project called Walk With Me. A wealth management firm was looking for ways to improve their organizational culture and address risks of declining client-service quality. Jordan and Scott created a two-step, game-based solution for this client: first, employees played a turn-based conversation game with an AI-powered chatbot that and then attended a live 50-minute debrief session where they learned about key empathetic behaviors, discussed their experiences. The program results showed double-digit improvement in evidence-based empathizing skills and participant mindset. Not only were employees exhibiting more empathetic behaviors in conversation, but their beliefs around their potential to enhance these abilities also saw measurable improvement over the course of the program.
