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 design/development model, which may be used for creation of game-like learning environments. Depending on the results and with the inspiration from fuzzy logic, an instructional design/development model for creating game-like environments, which is called as “FIDGE model” is proposed.

USE OF COMMERCIAL GAMES FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES: WILL TODAY'S TEACHER CANDIDATES USE THEM IN THE FUTURE?
Bakar, Aysegul; Inal, Yavuz; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2005-11-30)
The use of computer games in educational settings has been discussed by many educators. Herein, the opinions of teachers gain great importance because they are the ones who will use the games in classrooms. In this respect, this study was conducted to identify the opinions of prospective teachers who are the teachers of future on the use of games in classroom. After playing three commercial games (Quake, The Incredible Machine and Age of Empires), prospective teachers analyzed and evaluated them by focusing...
Games and Simulations: A New Approach in Education?
Kaplan, Göknur (IGI Global, 2007-01-01)
Computer games and simulations are considered powerful tools for learning with an untapped potential for formal educational use. However, the lack of available well-designed research studies about their integration into teaching and learning leaves unanswered questions, despite their more than 30 years of existence in the instructional design movement. Beginning with these issues, this chapter aims to shed light on the definition of games and simulations, their educational use, and some of their effects on ...
An Ontology – based approach to design a serious game for teacher education
Dehghan, Sanam; İşler, Veysi; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2015)
Increasing popularity of serious games draws many game designers’ attention and encourages developers to involve with the field of education. In this respect, an effective serious game design becomes prominent to attain a place in the domain. That is, a successful serious game design should attach importance to educational constituents as well as game design components. On the other hand, merely adding a limited number of game elements into an educational simulation could not lead to a successful serious ga...
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...
