Spacecraft Anomaly Handling made accessible - Development and Testing of a Board Game based Trainings Tool using Gamification for a broader Audience

Kurzfassung

Providing a more accessible way to test and refine the learned S/C subsystem knowledge this paper discusses and further investigates an innovative board game-based gamification addition to the conventional training method of S/C subsystems for new engineers. It evaluates the impact on the aspects of entry barriers, self-motivation and consolidation of S/C operations knowledge. The gaming aspects incorporated in this board game-based training addition consist of peer interaction, immediate rewarding, character development, low barrier to entry and risk-free interaction with the material.
