Computer games are considered as powerful tools to learning and they have a potential for educational use. However, the lack of available comprehensive design paradigms and well-designed research studies about the question of 3how to4 incorporate games into learning environments is still a question, despite more than 30 years2 existence of computer games and simulations in the instructional design movement. Setting off from these issues, a formative research study is designed to propose an instructional design/development model, which may be used for creation of game-like learning environments. Eighteen undergraduate students from Computer Education and Instructional Technology Department in METU participated to the study. Data collection lasted for three months and data were collected through interviews, observations and the artifacts that the participants produced. After the data analysis, it was found that the phases of the instructional design/development process should not be separate, strictly bounded, and processing a linear manner. Depending on these results and with the inspiration from fuzzy logic, an instructional design/development model for creating game-like environments, which is called as 3FID2GE model4 is proposed.

An Instructional Design/Development Model for the Creation of Game-Like Learning Environments: The FIDGE Model Kaplan, Göknur; Çağıltay, Kürşat (null, 2006-01-01) Computer games are considered as powerful tools to learning and they have a potential for educational use. However, the lack of available comprehensive design paradigms and well-designed research studies about the question of “how to” incorporate games into learning environments is still a question, despite more than thirty years' existence of computer games and simulations in the instructional design movement. Setting off from these issues, a formative research study is designed to propose an instructional...
Using mobile communication tools in web based instruction Avenoğlu, Bilgin; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2005) This thesis investigates the perceptions of students about using mobile communication tools in web-based instruction. A mobile learning portal that can be used by different mobile devices was designed for this purpose. This portal included a mobile discussion forum and a course information system. Sixty undergraduate and five graduate students from METU/CEIT department used this portal as a supportive learning activity in three different courses throughout two-three, and four-week periods. The discussion su...
Effectiveness of conceptual change instruction accompaniedwith demonstrations and computer assisted concept mapping on students' understanding of matter concepts Yavuz, Ayşe; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005) The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change instruction accompanied with demonstration and computer assisted concept mapping on seventh grade students understanding matter concepts. In addition, the effect of instruction on students̕ attitudes toward science as a school subject and the effect of gender difference on understanding matter concepts were investigated. Seventy five, seventh grade students from four classes of a General Science Course taught by the sam...
Physically interactive educational game design for children: defining design principles İnal, Yavuz; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2011) Physically Interactive Games (PIGs) have emerged as a new game genre and potential as an educational tool in classrooms. In PIGs, children are allowed to interact with game environment and solving problems by using their bodily movements and voices without using mouse or keyboard by being active physically and cognitively. Designing PIGs is critical and difficult process because it is vital that educational content and entertainment parts of a game should be balanced properly considering interaction between...
Using digital storytelling in early childhood education: a phenomenological study of teachers’ experiences Yüksel, Pelin; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Robin, Bernard R.; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2011) It has become a great concern about how children may be affected and how teachers should use computers in their classroom activities effectively with the increased role of computers in early childhood‟s learning. It is important to consider how it can be used more effectively integrated into early childhood curriculum since technological devices are widely used to maximize learning activity. This study aimed to show how digital storytelling can be used as an effective teaching and learning tool in kindergar...
