| Countries around the world attach great importance to the popularization of science and constantly improve the scientific and cultural literacy of the people,which plays an important role in building a community with a shared future for mankind.In the new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution,the development of the Internet also provides a new opportunity for the dissemination of popular science information.Internet-based science communication is becoming an effective way and means of science popularization.Popular science network games as one of the main ways of popular science network,has a very important research significance.In order to explore the characteristics of scientific content and expression of popular science online games,this research is divided into the following three parts:Research one is a scientific game statistics available on the Internet.Understand the basic situation of the development units,game types and game terminals of popular science online games.Based on the overall understanding of popular science online games,this paper analyzes the popular science online games and classifies the online popular science games according to the winning conditions and game terminals.The conclusions are as follows :(1)The distribution of game terminals is unbalanced.Among the popular science online games sorted out,the number of web games accounted for 99.4%,and mobile games accounted for 0.6%.(2)Single sponsor of popular science online games.The organizers of the popular science online games are mainly 6,namely China Digital Science Museum,Fujian Digital Science Museum,China Popular Science Expo,Shanxi Digital Science Museum,Tencent Games,and Popular Science China.In addition to Tencent Games,the rest of the organizers are science popularization service platforms,lack of experience in game development.The second study deeply analyzed the scientific content of the sample popular science online games.Content analysis mainly includes the fit between scientific content and "Chinese Citizen Science Literacy Benchmark" and the distribution of content themes,and then analyzes the characteristics of popular science content of popular science online games.The conclusions are as follows :(1)The scientific content integrated into popular science online games in the research samples has a high degree of agreement with the "Chinese Citizen Science Literacy Benchmark",with a high degree of rationality.By comparing and analyzing the scientific content of popular science online games in the research samples with the "Chinese Citizen Science Literacy Benchmark",it is found that the coincidence degree of strategy,adventure,action and process-oriented popular science games with the "Chinese Citizen Science Literacy Benchmark" is more than 50%,which has a high rationality.(2)Popular science online games have a wide range of popular science content,mainly biology and physics content.After analyzing various types of popular science online games,it is found that among the popular science content themes of strategy,adventure and progress oriented popular science online games,the content about biology is the most,accounting for more than 40%,accounting for a very large proportion.Among them,the content about physics is second only to biology,accounting for about 30%.In action popular science online games,biology content and physics content are tied for the first place.It can be seen that biology content and physics content are the main content of popular science online games.(3)Under the theme of biology,animals and plants become the focus of science popularization.Through the analysis of the scientific knowledge of various popular science online games in the research samples,it can be found that under the theme of biology,animals and plants become the focus of popular science.Among them,strategy,adventure and action popular science online games have the most knowledge about animals and plants,accounting for 93.3%,66.7% and 75% of the score.There is also knowledge about genes,photosynthesis,lake communities and animal behavior.In addition to the knowledge about animals and plants,the process-oriented popular science online games also involve the knowledge about physiological structures,diabetes and viruses.(4)Under the theme of physics,force becomes the focus of science popularization.By analyzing the scientific knowledge of popular science online games in the research samples,it can be found that under the theme of physics,force has become the focus of popular science.Strategy class,adventure class,action class and process-oriented popular science online games contain mechanics knowledge,and the number is more.In addition,the popular science online games in the samples also involve electricity,energy,vibration,light,nuclear fission and other knowledge points.The third study deeply analyzed the manifestation of popular science knowledge in the sample popular science online games.The research on the expression mode of popular science knowledge is mainly carried out from two aspects,namely,the basic form and the game structure.The basic forms of expression include text,picture and animation.The game structure consists of the game setting,the story and the rules of the game.The conclusions are as follows :(1)Popular science online games have diversified forms of expression,with "text + pictures" as the main form.For science popularization network game analysis,the basic form of expression can be found that process orientation,adventure and action science network game the most basic forms containing text,science network game strategy class the most basic form contains pictures,text is the major form of online games science knowledge.Further analysis shows that the expression forms of popular science online games are the combination of several basic expression forms.In popular science online games,the largest combination of expression forms is "text + picture",which accounts for about 30% in the expression forms of process-oriented,adventure and action popular science online games.In addition,popular science online games also involve "text + picture +animation","text + animation" and other forms of expression.(2)The expression way of popular science online games is interesting,and there are many ways to show popular science knowledge.Through the study of samples of the popular science network game expression characteristics are analyzed,process oriented class popular science can be found the content of science into the story of the game,with story about knowledge,make full use of the process oriented games to facilitate the characteristics of the game environment and atmosphere,let the game players can experience the story in the process of learning science knowledge.The strategy popular science online games are mostly driven by the game goal and integrate scientific knowledge into the game background or game rules.When playing strategy games,players need to carefully observe or read the background of the game many times and carefully consider the rules of the game in order to achieve the goals of the game.Adventure popular science online games mostly integrate scientific knowledge into the process of exploration and adventure,the popular science knowledge into the game background or game rules,and a few adventure popular science online games integrate popular science knowledge into the story plot.Action popular science online games mostly make use of the game process to let players experience popular science knowledge,elaborate popular science knowledge in the game background,and integrate scientific knowledge into the game background.A few action popular science online games integrate popular science knowledge into game rules or game storylines. |
