这期《学校中的计算机》特刊重点关注基于数字游戏的学习。游戏越来越受欢迎，并成为年轻学习者的定义特征。数字游戏最初是为大众市场设计的，几乎没有教育联系，已经引起了教育工作者和研究人员越来越多的兴趣。本期精选的文章将增加知识体系，认为数字游戏在教学中有效使用时，可以通过增加动机和参与来改善学生的学习。本期文章还探讨了游戏设计的元素，可以提高游戏在课堂上的有效性。这个特殊的问题解决了使用游戏作为教学的一部分，与各种学习者和各种学习环境，包括K-12教育和高等教育。本特刊由六篇优秀文章组成，为读者提供了实践中基于游戏的学习的例子，以及优化学习机会的游戏功能的讨论。Selen Turkay及其同事提供了一个面向教师的文献综述，讨论了教育工作者需要考虑的理论观点和游戏设计问题。Michael Martin和Yuzhong Shen分享了他们关于游戏设计的特定方面对学习结果的影响的研究结果。Judy佩里和Eric Klopfer的研究探索了无处不在的因果学习游戏，帮助我们了解特定游戏元素的教育效果。Min Lun Wu、Kari理查兹和Guan Kung Saw的研究使用了一个大型多人角色扮演游戏来支持第二语言学习，在动机和基于游戏的学习之间的相互作用方面产生了有趣的发现。Min Liu和同事通过解释学生的动机作为通过数字学习游戏体验到的引人入胜的互动环境的函数，进一步探索了这种互动。一致
This special issue of Computers in the Schools focuses on digital game-based learning. Gaming has grown in popularity and become a defining characteristic of young learners. Digital games, initially designed for the mass market with few educational connections, have gained increasing interests from educators and researchers. The articles featured in this issue will add to the body of knowledge that argues that digital games, when used effectively in instruction, can improve student learning through increased motivation and engagement. The articles in this issue also explore elements of game design that can increase effectiveness of games in the classroom. This special issue addresses using gaming as part of instruction with a variety of learners and within various learning contexts, including both K–12 education and higher education. This special issue consists of six outstanding articles, which provide readers with examples of game-based learning in practice, as well as discussion of game features that optimize learning opportunities. Selen Turkay and colleagues provide a teacher-oriented literature review addressing theoretical perspectives and game-design issues for educators to consider. Michael Martin and Yuzhong Shen share the results of their study regarding the effects of particular aspects of game design on learning outcomes. Judy Perry and Eric Klopfer’s study explores ubiquitous and causal learning games that help inform us of the educational effectiveness of specific game elements. Min Lun Wu, Kari Richards, and Guan Kung Saw’s investigation uses a massive multiplayer role-playing game to support second-language learning that yielded interesting findings on the interaction between motivation and game-based learning. Min Liu and colleagues further explore this interaction by explaining student motivation as a function of the engaging, interactive environment that is experienced through digital-learning games.
