My research question is: Can video games be used for educational purposes? This topic interests me because I’ve always enjoyed learning through interactive experiences and I’m curious about how video games could enhance education. Since I also play many video games, I’ve seen how much fun and engaging video games can be, and I wonder if those same qualities can be applied to academic learning. I already know that some games are designed to teach specific skills, like math or language, and that certain educational institutions have started using games as learning tools. However, some people are still skeptical about whether games can replace or be used instead of traditional methods. Some points I plan to explore are how video games improve problem solving and critical thinking in educational settings, which types of games are most effective for learning, and how educators can integrate gaming into their curriculum.
