What video games have to teach us about Learning and Literacy

비디오 게임은 교육적으로 바람직한 것인가? 특히 문식성 교육에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는가? James Gee는 찬성쪽에 서 있는 대표적인 학자 중 한 사람입니다. 그가 이 주제와 관련하여 2006년 호주 퀸즈랜드주 교육부에서 강연한 동영상 자료가 있어 그 링크를 아래에 소개합니다. 최근에 Gee는 추운 Wisconsin(Madison)을 떠나 Arizona State University로 자리를 옮겼습니다.

Description:Keynote presentation at What Do Games Teach Us About Learning Conference 17th August 2006. What Video Games have to Teach us About Learning and Literacy Good computer and video games are learning machines. Despite being long and complex, they get themselves learned and learned well, not just in tutorials, but as part and parcel of playing the game to the end. Thus, designers face and largely solve an intriguing educational dilemma, one also faced by schools and workplaces, as well: how to get people to learn and master something that is long and challenging - and enjoy it. Schools, workplaces, families, and academic researchers have a lot to learn about learning from good computer and video games. In this talk I will explicate the learning principles that are built into good video games and discuss their implications for learning in and out of schools for a global, high-tech, and risky world.
