Newswise — Brooke Blevins, Ph.D., and Karon LeCompte, Ph.D., are social studies teacher educators who focus on best practices for teaching civics. In the past three years, Blevins and LeCompte have authored six studies on video gaming in civics education as action-oriented civic engagement.
In 2011, they conducted a ninth-month long study of 250 primary and middle school students in the Waco area to determine the effectiveness of iCivics as a learning tool.
