摘要
随着计算机游戏在图形、复杂性、交互和描述等方面越来越复杂,多种类型的游戏已经在市场上占有重要地位,计算机游戏正成为文化的一部分。游戏与学习的关系成为越来越多的研究者关注的重点。本研究综述的目的是提供关于计算机游戏产业、市场和文化等现状的一个概述;对游戏与教育相关性研究的主要进展提供概览,并对该领域的相关文献进行概述;为教育研究共同体和游戏开发商等就如何在学习资源设计中使用游戏技术进行交流提供基础;为教育共同体在教育环境中使用数字游戏的讨论提供基础。同时本研究还以恰如其分的语气承认,在现有的教育体制和学习模式下,应用游戏的一些障碍和挑战。不仅如此,在这篇研究综述中,作者还为设计者、研究者和政策制定者提出了如何将游戏的一些本质特点融入学习资源和学习环境设计中的一些方法,而不仅仅是像今天教育游戏给学生提供的似乎像糖衣的"趣味性",只是使学生完全沉浸其中。
As games have become more complex in terms of graphics, complexity, interaction and narrative, so a variety of genres have come to dominate the market. And computer games are a growing part of our culture. This review provides： a summary of the contemporary state of the computer and video gaming industry, market and culture; an overview of the main developments in research into gaming and the educational relevance of video games, and a summary of the literature resulting from this research; a basis for communication between the educational research community and the commercial sector on the subject of the use of games technologies in the design of learning resources; a basis for discussion within educational communities on the use of digital games within educational settings. At the same time, the review takes a measured tone in acknowledging some of the obstacles and challenges to using games within our current education system and within our current models of learning. It goes on to propose some ways in which designers, researchers and educational policy makers might draw on the growing body of research in the field to create learning resources and environments that go beyond a sugar-coating of ＇fun＇ to the full engagement that computer games seem to offer so many children today.
