Our government has always regarded the moral education of young people as the focus of education reform and development.In 1996,the Fourth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee clearly pointed out that "the work of ideological and moral education for young people should be strengthened." Since the 19 th National Congress,the moral education of young people has been regarded as the top priority.General Secretary Xi Jinping will "Lide "Tree people" is seen as a central link that needs to be permeated throughout education.In the context of informationization,the rapid spread of online information,the increasing ethical values of society,and the enlargement of moral issues,young people must face the new and different conflicting moral situations that appear in social life.In order to enable students to adapt to the rapid changes and diversification of social thoughts and ethics,the focus of moral education in primary and middle schools,especially on ideological and moral education,should be gradually shifted from instilling moral principles and moral concepts to improving students' new and conflicting moral situations.The ability to judge,choose,and decide.The game has successfully attracted many young players with its realistic virtual situation and well-designed mission levels.Educators are increasingly working to combine games with related disciplines.However,the current educational games on the market are games that are combined with subjects such as English and mathematics.In the humanities,especially in the moral and social disciplines,educational games are developed and applied less.From the "Fable","Adventures in odyssey and the sword if the spirit" and "Learning Lei Feng" games at home and abroad,the design of moral education games lacks theoretical guidance,resulting in a rough concept of moral education;and the task situation is simple.Students' game experience is poor;simple task situations are not well integrated with moral knowledge,so students have difficulty in mastering moral knowledge in games;simple task scenarios cannot adapt to the targeted education of different students.This study attempts to develop a moral education game with multiple moral decision-making scenarios under the guidance of learning theories such as situational learning theory and moral development stage theory.In the game,students complete the system's ethical decision-making scenarios containing moral knowledge.Students can play the role of the player in each scene and make decisions.Based on the students' decisions in the game,they predict the mastery of moral knowledge.The result is a recommendation for the next ethical decision-making scenario that meets their competency level.Research methods such as literature analysis,case analysis,structured development,and questionnaire survey are used.Under the guidance of the theory,Unity3 D is used as a game development tool,and My SQL is used as a game database development tool to design and develop an educational game "If You " for the young people's moral decision-making experience.This research will carry out related research work in accordance with the four aspects of "theoretical research-model construction-case development-experimental verification".The research process and research results will be summarized in the above order.(1)Theoretical research and literature review.The researchers first consulted and analyzed the relevant literature in the field of moral education and educational games,sorted out the research status and proposed research questions,defined the concept of moral decision-making and moral dilemma;and combed the book in the field of theoretical research.The three basic theories of "situation learning theory,moral development stage theory and experiential learning theory" which play an important supporting role are elaborated and summarized.(2)Construction of an educational game model for young people's ethical decision-making experience.Firstly,it analyzes the general teaching model and extracts the main elements to construct the ethical decision-making game teaching model as the basis for guiding the game teaching design.Secondly,it selects the relevant moral knowledge,designs the Kohlberg moral dilemma,and creatively uses the Socratic discussion method to Arranged into a game task scene and complete the preparation of the game narrative script;again,the game integrates the idea of the intelligent tutor system,and develops a moral decision game function model including the three basic models of ?Domain Model,Padagogical Model,and Student Model?;Select the method to implement the model function and implement the game function under the guidance of the model and method.(3)Design and development of educational games for young people's ethical decision-making experience.The study uses "integrity" as the game theme,and sorts out the corresponding moral education knowledge framework,and selects the moral dilemma to complete the narrative script in the game scene.With Unity3 D as the game development tool,My SQL as the database development tool,C# is the game development language,and developed the educational game "If You " for the young people's moral decision-making experience..(4)Verification of educational game effects for young people's ethical decision-making experience.After the game development is completed,the game quality and game function are evaluated and tested through a combination of questionnaire survey and game background data record analysis.The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the statistical results of the seven dimensions presented by the scale showed that the average value was higher and the game quality was better.The acquisition and analysis of game background data shows that the game can correct most of the learners' misconceptions in the moral dilemma.In the interaction with the game,learners can acquire the knowledge of integrity and obtain a better moral experience.With the support of the theory of moral development stage,this study selects the moral dilemma as the game task.With the Socratic dialogue as the guide,the learner makes moral decisions in the virtual learning situation,and the system judges its knowledge level according to the behavior and pushes the adaptation.Sexual levels to achieve a learner's personalized learning path.Moral decision-making game can help learners to experience the consequences of decision-making on the basis of knowledge learning,and truly realize the moral education of knowledge learning,emotional experience and behavior training.However,due to the limited research time and the ability of researchers,there are still some shortcomings in the development of the game.In the future research work,it will further make up for the lack of better research results.
