摘要
One hundred and one pre-service teachers were exposed to game examples, a series of questions, and teaching scenarios that required games. A mixed methods analysis revealed that they perceived educational and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) games as equally valuable to instruction, games should predominantly be implemented after a formal lesson, and limited instructional time was the main barrier to adopting games. Our findings uncovered the need for teacher preparation programs to inform preservice teachers of the critical advantages of educational games, the variety of research-based game-adoption approaches, and the effective strategies to overcome barriers when incorporating games into instruction.
