Learning: UK Study Supports Potential Role For Games In Class

This Serious Games Source article talks about UK-based Teaching with Games: “a year long study first announced in August 2005 with the support of major video game companies such as Electronic Arts and Take-Two, has found that video games may have a significant role to play in the modern day classroom.” From the article: “The report, which included national surveys of primary and secondary teachers and school children aged 11-16, was designed to offer an overview of those participants’ use of and attitudes towards commercial computer games in schools. The research also included ten case studies across four separate schools involving the use of EA’s The Sims 2, Atari’s RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and Sunflowers Interactive’s Knights of Honor.
