Abstract

The generation who have had experienced computer games while growing up, are called game generation. The game generation has quite different styles of thinking and behavior from other generations. But present education methods for the game generation are not basically different from the education methods for other generations. Prensky argued that digital game-based learning is one of the few ways to meet the needs of the information age for the game generation. In this paper, we analyze the suitability of 4 design methods for educational games in comparison which were selected by the literatures survey. The suitability analysis was performed on the overall design method, the game design method, the education design method, the explicit of the design method, and the pros and cons. We suggest research topics on design methods for educational games which are needed to research in the future, based on the analyzed results.

성장기에 게임을 경험하면서 살아온 세대를 게임세대라 부른다. 이들 게임세대는 이전 세대와 달리 사고방식과 행동방식이 전혀 다르다. 그러나 현재 게임세대를 위한 교육방법은 이전 세대의 교육방법과 기본적으로 차이가 없다. Prensky는 게임세대를 위해, 정보시대의 필요사항들을 만족시킬 수 있는 소수의 방법들 중 하나로 디지털 게임을 통한 교육이라고 주장하였다. 본 논문에서는 문헌조사를 통해 수집된 4개의 교육용게임 디자인 방법들의 적합성에 대해 비교분석하였다. 적합성 분석은 전체적인 설계방법, 게임부문 설계방법, 교육부문 설계방법, 설계방법의 명시성 그리고 설계방법의 장단점에 대해 이루어졌다. 그리고 이러한 분석결과를 근거로 앞으로 연구되어야 할 필요가 있는 교육용 게임 디자인 방법에 대한 연구 토픽들을 제안하였다.
