Abstract

Greenet is an augmented reality mobile game developed for children for learning about how to recycle. In this paper we present a study involving 28 primary school students, to explore the extent to which collaboration and competition affect perceived learning and potentially lead to a change of attitude and behaviour. In this study, students in sessions of 4 were asked to play recycling games in 3 conditions: by themselves, in a team, and in a team while in competition with another team. Our results show that collaboration and competition promotes a positive change of attitude and behaviour. This study suggests that competitive/collaborative mobile phone based games provide a promising platform for persuasion.
