Title	phenomenological exploration of constructionism among female undergraduate communications media students when designing a 2d game interface
Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative dissertation was to capture the lived experiences of six female undergraduate students majoring in communications media when constructing a 2D game interface. This study provides real world accounts of the students' experiences designing and developing a game interface in a social constructionist environment without the presence of an instructor. This research study asked three main questions, which where: What are the lived experiences of female students as they design their own 2D game interfaces under the lens of constructionism? What evidence is there that the inclusion of a female population will hinder or support the current trend of utilizing game design as a method to test social constructionism? How do the processes of constructionism in the cases explored diverge or support the use of game design as a vehicle for constructionism in the classroom and in the industry?
