Effective Learning

Digital games are increasingly being used as educational tools. They are intrinsically motivating for many students and offer a natural learning environment. However, not all games are equally effective in the classroom and there is thus a need for frameworks to guide teachers so that learning goals are aligned with a game’s goals and to determine whether or not the game design supports effective learning. This chapter offers an analysis framework that can be used by classroom teachers to understand the different ways that games can support learning and to critique specific games to determine whether or not they meet the learning requirements. The chapter includes a checklist for teachers, as well as a feedback form for students who playtest games for use in the classroom.

UNSTRUCTURED This paper is a case study on the design of an educational game for the prevention of cyberbullying and an analysis of its educational effect. I selected a game titled “Angry Daddy,” which was developed based on the request of Korean government authority and analyzed the mode of development of the game and its educational effect. For this research, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. Moreover, advice regarding the game design was obtained from many experts belonging to various fields. Based on the analysis of the game design and its educational effect, it was confirmed that the following factors are important to design an educational game meant for the prevention of cyberbullying and to enhance its educational effect: First, cooperation between content experts and game development experts is essential to develop an educational game. Second, it should be verified whether the contents and the format of the game are appropriate by analyzing the play test results of the target audience. Third, it is essential to prepare a manual to guide teachers to apply the game to the field. Fourth, it was confirmed that educating students on sensitive topics like cyberbullying is very effective when educational games that make them feel and experience the outcomes of bullying are utilized. This research is expected to be helpful for future design of educational games and the research and development of the format of cyberbullying prevention education.
