商品描述
How making and sharing video games offer educational benefits for coding, collaboration, and creativity. Over the last decade, video games designed to teach academic content have multiplied. Students can learn about Newtonian physics from a game or prep for entry into the army. An emphasis on the instructionist approach to gaming, however, has overshadowed the constructionist approach, in which students learn by designing their own games themselves. In this book, Yasmin Kafai and Quinn Burke discuss the educational benefits of constructionist gaming--coding, collaboration, and creativity--and the move from "computational thinking" toward "computational participation." Kafai and Burke point to recent developments that support a shift to game making from game playing, including the game industry's acceptance, and even promotion, of "modding" and the growth of a DIY culture. Kafai and Burke show that student-designed games teach not only such technical skills as programming but also academic subjects. Making games also teaches collaboration, as students frequently work in teams to produce content and then share their games with in class or with others online. Yet Kafai and Burke don't advocate abandoning instructionist for constructionist approaches. Rather, they argue for a more comprehensive, inclusive idea of connected gaming in which both making and gaming play a part.

如何製作和分享視頻遊戲對於編碼、協作和創造力提供教育益處。
在過去的十年中,設計用於教授學術內容的視頻遊戲數量不斷增加。學生可以從遊戲中學習牛頓物理學或為入伍做準備。然而,對於遊戲的教學主義方法的強調,卻使建構主義方法被忽視了,而在建構主義方法中,學生通過設計自己的遊戲來學習。在這本書中,Yasmin Kafai和Quinn Burke討論了建構主義遊戲(編碼、協作和創造力)的教育益處,以及從“計算思維”轉向“計算參與”的趨勢。
Kafai和Burke指出了支持從遊戲玩耍轉向遊戲製作的最新發展,包括遊戲行業對“modding”的接受甚至推廣,以及DIY文化的增長。Kafai和Burke表明,學生設計的遊戲不僅教授編程等技術技能,還教授學術科目。製作遊戲還教授協作,因為學生經常在團隊中合作製作內容,然後在課堂上或在線上與他人分享他們的遊戲。然而,Kafai和Burke並不主張放棄教學主義方法,轉而採用建構主義方法。相反,他們主張採用更全面、包容的連接遊戲理念,其中製作和遊戲都扮演著一個角色。
