美国海洋教育中应用严肃游戏的实践与启示:以“无限水肺”为例

The Practice and Enlightenment of Applying Serious Games in American Ocean Education--Take Unlimited Scuba as an Example

严肃游戏在美国海洋教育中占有一席之地,然而在我国的海洋教育中还没得到应有的重视,相应的理论研究也相对较少。本文首先以"无限水肺"为例分析了其制作团队人员构成、游戏设计目的和内容、游戏的合作伙伴及推广方式、游戏的赢利模式等,继而对严肃游戏在我国海洋教育中的四类应用研究进行了综述。在当前国民整体海洋意识薄弱和游戏产业蓬勃发展的背景下,有必要、也有资源优势将严肃游戏应用于我国海洋教育,进一步扶持海洋游戏研发,强化现有涉海游戏、海洋游戏与涉海科研合作。

Serious games occupy a place in American marine education,but they have not received due attention in that of China.And the corresponding theoretical research is relatively limited.In this paper,four cases of serious games applications in China's marine education are reviewed.Taking Infinite Scuba as an example,it analyses the game production team composition,the game purpose and content,the partners and promotion,and the profit model.This paper holds that under the background of weak national marine consciousness and vigorous development of game industry in China,it is necessary and conditional to apply serious games to marine education in China.Suggestions are put forward from several aspects,such as supporting the development of marine games,transforming existing marine games,cooperation between marine games and related scientific research.
