| | Game Studies 0102: Cultural framing of computer/video games. By Kurt Squire |
| | The study of games and learning might begin with qualitative study of game players and game playing communities. | | | More recently, researchers such as Funk and colleagues (1996) have studied correlations between game players' characteristics and popular genres, but these broad statistical studies fail to open up the complex relationships behind game players and their games or acknowledge the social contexts in which game playing is situated. | | | While edutainment games such as SimCity and Civilization are intriguing educational materials, the most promising developments in educational gaming might come through games that are explicitly design to support learning. |
