流体验视角的信息素质教育游戏整合地图设计

Flow Experiences Guided Game Map Design for Integrating Information Literacy Educational Games

文章以流体验理论的即时反馈和内在激励原理为指导,探索信息素质教育系列游戏的有效整合问题。针对前期设计的金字塔模型由一系列小游戏构成的特点,设计了一个金字塔游戏地图,把系列小游戏嵌入其中,采用RPG Maker和Flash实现,通过实验室测试考察金字塔游戏地图的整合效果。金字塔游戏地图层次分明、逻辑清晰,非常适合组织信息素质教育系列小游戏;地图形式新颖,通关登顶活动有趣,能够激起玩家兴趣和内在动力。运用金字塔游戏地图整合信息素质教育游戏的策略正确、可行,也证明了信息素质教育游戏金字塔模型的正确性。出于实验室测试的需要,用于测试的金字塔游戏地图被设计为一个模拟环境,与实际应用情境存在一定差异。

Guided with the principles of instant feedback and intrinsic motivation of flow experiences theory, this study explores how to effectively integrate the series games for information literacy education. As a pyramid model for game-based information literacy education has been proposed with a series of games in it, a pyramid game map is accordingly designed to embed the series games in it. RPG Maker and Flash are adopted to produce the integrating map and game. To examine the integration effect of the pyramid game map, subjects are recruited to play the game in a laboratory. It turns out that the pyramid game map is distinct with clear logic and is perfect for organizing the series mini-games for information quality education. The map is novel and the activity of playing each mini-game so as to pass each level and reach the peak is appealing. It is able to provoke the interests and intrinsic motivation of players. The strategy to integrate information literacy education games with a pyramid game map is correct and feasible, therefore, the validity of the pyramid model for game-based information literacy education is also proved. For the convenience of laboratory test, the pyramid game map for testing is designed in a simulation environment, which quite differs from the practical application situation.
