A series of video games available to users today can increase their motivation to study and explore new areas, said Natalya Odintsova, chief editor of VK Play Media.
According to him, there is a special term “edutainment” which refers to an approach that combines education (British education) and entertainment (British entertainment).
“For example, the space simulator Kerbal Space Program could push a person to become an aeronautical engineer. In the game, you have to manage the space program of the aliens, create ships based on knowledge (or lack of knowledge) about the laws of aerodynamics and the physics of the motion of objects in orbit. In the process, the player may become interested in the mathematics on which the entire game is built. Another player will be motivated by the desire to see projects implemented in hardware, ”said Odintsova.
Also, as an example, the expert has named the strategy Crusader Kings 3 and the action-adventure Assassin’s Creed, which can help you immerse yourself in history research. Portal 2’s puzzles allow you to understand physics, immerse yourself in the morphology of a fairy tale, and read the works of Soviet philologist Vladimir Propp’s visual novel The Tales of Bayun.
