GameOn: Game Design Steps for Inclusion

Liitu

Teave

This playlist aims to help you learn about game design. Especially if you are an educator who wants to apply a game design process as an educational tool, it will guide you through the different steps to follow. It pretends to be a resource to reinforce a good implementation of this tool, promoting social inclusion and critical thinking among the participants.

It addresses the power of games, how to use them as an educational tool, how to be a good supporter in game design processes, the skills required and the different ways to use the tool. In addition, from the Game On project we focus on the relationship between game design and inclusion. The entire last section addresses how games and processes can be inclusive, what competencies for inclusion can be developed and how to achieve this.

So, why are games beneficial in the learning process, and why do we love them? Playing a game opens the possibility to enter inside a safe space for the experimentation with players’ own competences and building relationships. Games are enjoyable: our body emits a big quantity of “feeling-good” hormones when playing, such as serotonin, oxytocin or dopamine. This feeling allows games to support the development of competences at the same time we have fun. Some tool competences they can help to develop include following rules, adaptation, problem solving, interaction, critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, etc. From kids to adults, games can be used to develop competences and increase learning.

Games enhance youth to learn new things overcoming standardised barriers and while they are developing new skills, they build an emotional connection to learning. Creating emotional connections during learning makes the experience concrete and transformative of attitudes towards the learning process and space. Because games are interactive and engaging, they may also encourage students to explore new topics and approaches to learning that otherwise they would not consider.
