Beschrijving

This resource provides a structured guide on implementing Mystery Games as an engaging pedagogical tool to enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration in the classroom. It outlines a step-by-step approach to designing and facilitating mystery-based learning activities, where students analyse fragmented information, identify connections, and develop reasoned conclusions.

The Mystery Game method is particularly effective in interdisciplinary learning, including themes of Sustainability Citizenship, as it encourages learners to explore complex systems, ethical dilemmas, and real-world challenges through structured inquiry. The resource supports active engagement by incorporating diverse materials such as text, visuals, maps, and statistical data, making it adaptable to different learning styles.

Key pedagogical approaches include Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Inquiry-Based Learning, and Cooperative Learning, enabling students to evaluate evidence, construct arguments, and communicate findings effectively. The guide also highlights differentiation strategies, allowing teachers to adjust complexity by modifying information card content, integrating multimedia resources, or varying the number of clues provided.

Ideal for educators across disciplines, this resource fosters deeper learning by immersing students in decision-making and investigative processes, reinforcing essential 21st-century skills such as systems thinking, metacognition, and collaboration.
