The Application And Exploration Of Educational Game Used In Primary School Education

The effect of game in teaching is always focused by scholars of education. Plato considered that game could explore children's learning instinct; Dewey thought that game was the main method to get knowledge in children's lives; In Piaget's opinion, game could trigger children's interest in fresh knowledge, and give children effective psychological hints to consolidate fresh knowledge's three-dimensional structure. Living in informational age, educational scholars of China and abroad combine educational theories and computer game together, and produce the game used in education. Educational games are the games that teach how to learn knowledge and provide professional training and simulation game.In this thesis, I introduce this educational game used in primary school class, which can meet the demands of primary students in exploring science and reach the goal of cultivating their scientific qualification. This game depends on the platform PRG Make XP, aim at the problem of expensive lab items in primary scientific education and take plant study as example. In the process of preparing this thesis, the game was used in primary students teaching and questionnaire survey was done. On the base of specific analysis, I accomplish this thesis and game.This thesis consists of 6 chapters as following:In the first chapter, the research background and the current development situation in China and abroad are introduced at first; then, games are put into primary scientific education has been a current and result according to current situation of primary school science education. The significance, goal, main contents and studying method are stated at the end.In the second chapter, I analyze that it is practicable and necessary to introduce educational games into the field of primary school scientific education according to investigation of primary students, parents and teachers'attitudes toward the games, the feature and teaching requirements of primary scientific education, developmental view.In the third chapter, I explain pedagogics theory and game theory as the base of design of primary school scientific education game.In the fourth chapter, I introduce the design principles of primary school science education, design of functional module and exploration mode of this game.In the fifth chapter, the main contents are the exploration and practice of primary school science education game. They include educational needs analysis of example game design, technical needs of game design and concret operation of the experiment after game is carried out. I also do analysis and conclusion to the experiment result.In the sixth chapter, I conclude the tasks I have done in study, successful experiences and shortage of educational game design. Then, I set clear goal of how to improve this educational game. At last, I conclude the application discipline and principle of this game's use in primary science education, and its developmental direction in the future.
