Abstract

This study presents the results of a qualitative evaluation of how pre-service teachers incorporate games into their classroom practices during internships. Two Game-Based Learning (GBL) methods, namely the PCaRD model and the GameChangers approach, were introduced to assist pre-service teachers in delivering game-based learning activities effectively within disciplines such as English and Sports, as part of their university course requirements. Data was collected from 48 pre-service teachers, highlighting the perceived benefits of both methods in teaching with games and emphasizing their complementarity. Essential competencies identified included prior gaming experience, training in game creation, digital skills, and understanding of student behavior and reactions. Main challenges encountered included time constraints, classroom equipment deficiencies, class management issues, pupil behavior, and aligning games with the curriculum.

在职前教师实习期间引入游戏式学习方法的定性评估研究
本研究介绍了对职前教师在实习期间如何将游戏融入课堂实践的定性评估结果。作为大学课程要求的一部分,研究引入了两种基于游戏的学习(GBL)方法,即 PCaRD 模式和 GameChangers 方法,以帮助职前教师在英语和体育等学科中有效开展基于游戏的学习活动。收集了 48 名职前教师的数据,突出了这两种方法在游戏教学中的优势,并强调了它们的互补性。所确定的基本能力包括先前的游戏经验、游戏创作培训、数字技能以及对学生行为和反应的理解。遇到的主要挑战包括时间限制、教室设备不足、班级管理问题、学生行为以及游戏与课程的协调。
