师范毕业生教育游戏认知情况调研

An Investigation on Normal University Graduates in Their Understanding of Educational Games

教育游戏的应用与发展很大程度上依赖一线教师对教育游戏的理解,因此了解即将成为一线教师的师范毕业生对教育游戏的认知状况与期望有助于把握教育游戏应用的现状以及未来的发展趋向.该文通过对南京晓庄学院302名不同专业的师范毕业生的抽样调查,分析讨论了师范毕业生对教育游戏的概念认知、功能认知以及期望.通过调查发现:师范毕业生对教育游戏的概念认知程度偏低,不同专业的师范毕业生对教育游戏的概念认知情况存在较大差异;师范毕业生对教育游戏的教育功能持肯定态度;师范毕业生对教育游戏的课堂教学应用持怀疑态度;师范毕业生对于一款"好"教育游戏产品的期望主要表现在教育游戏的趣味性和教育性方面.

The application and development of educational games relies on classroom teachers＇ understanding ot educational games to a large extent and therefore, information on normal university graduates who will be classroom teachers in their understanding and expectation of educational games will be of great importance to the application of educational games at present as well as to its future development. In the present study, 300 samples were collected from graduating students of different majors in Nanjing Xiaozhuang University, with a view to investigating their un- derstanding of the function of educational games. It was found that normal university graduates＇ cognition of educational games was at a low level, and there was a big gap among students with different specialties in their understanding of the concept related to educational games. Although they held a positive attitude toward the functions of educational games, they were skeptical about the application in the classroom teaching. They believed that a good educational game product should be both interesting and educational.
