Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie är att utveckla kunskap om hur lärare kan använda Minecraft i sin undervisning av teknikämnet för elever i årskurs fyra till sex. Utifrån detta syfte formulerades två forskningsfrågor, vilka är: vad inom Minecraft bidrar till elevernas förståelse för tekniska lösningar och vad ser lärare för möjligheter för elevernas lärande genom att jobba med Minecraft. Studien utgick ifrån ett elev-och lärarperspektiv. I studien har åtta elever från år fem deltagit samt tre lärare. En lektionsserie på tre lektioner genomfördes med eleverna där fokus var på att skapa tekniska lösninga

Abstract:

This paper explores graph grammar and constructive solutions for settlement generation in Minecraft. It uses graph grammar to flatten parts of the surface in order to increase the space for the buildings. Buildings are then generated with a constructive solution that follows a step-by-step model where different parts of the building are created in a certain order. Different parts include the shape of the foundation itself, the walls, the roof and the furniture. The algorithm picks which blocks to use on different parts of the house through an object called district palette. The buildings are d

Ohjelmointia on opetettu peruskouluissa aikaisemminkin, mutta opetusta vähennettiin runsaasti. Ohjelmointi oli vaikeaa eikä se kiinnostanut. Ohjelmointi ei ole juurikaan muuttunut, mutta ohjelmoinnin opetukseen tulee panostaa, ettei toisteta samoja virheitä kuin 80- ja 90-luvun ohjelmoinnin opetuksessa. Tietotekniikan kehittyessä erilaiset laitteet ja niillä pelattavat pelit ovat kasvattaneet suosiotaan. Yksi suosituimmista peleistä on tietokone

Tämän takia opettajien taitoja integroida teknologiaa ja pelaamista opetukseen tulisi kartoittaa ja parantaa jo opettajankoulutuksen aikana, jotta erityisesti asenteet niitä kohtaan paranisivat ennen kentälle siirtymistä.

De senaste åren har datorspelet Minecraft börjat användas för detta, där barnen själva får visualisera och gestalta sina stadsbilder. Detta innebär att tolkningen av dessa bilder sker senare i skaparprocessen än vid annan dialog, varvid frågor om huruvida Minecraft kan ge något nytt i barnperspektivet väcks, och hur tydligt barnens preferenser kan

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a long-standing mental condition characterized by hindered mental growth and development. In 2018, 168 out of 10,000 children are said to be affected with Autism in the USA. As these children move to adulthood, they have difficulty in communicating with others, expressing themselves, maintaining eye contact, developing a well-functioning motor skill or sensory sensitivity, and paying attention for longer period. Some of these abnormalities, however, can be gradually improved if they are treated appropriately during their adulthood. Studies have shown that peop

The open gameplay mode of Minecraft and the non-linearity of the objective of the game has grown into a lush ground for violence, as there are seldom physical or virtual repercussions for verbal violence online.

Research has shown the educational benefits of using the video game Minecraft in areas such as sciences and educational purposes as a teaching tool to transfer knowledge. Most studies, however, address the issue from an external perspective, rather than a student-centred perspective by evaluation from the researchers’ or teachers’ perspectives. This leads to a gap of data from the participants’ perspective and its usage in education. Those studies discuss how Minecraft is used as a simple teaching tool by filling it with content.

Abstract:

Research shows that teens (Generation Z) are not as information literate as required to function effectively in an information society. Yet many teens are gamers and succeed at game-related tasks that require information literacy skills. This thesis examines the potential that the online game Minecraft, and one of its related affinity spaces, may have in the development of information literacy skills in teens. This case study unfolded in three phases: a video game analysis of Minecraft, a discussion forum analysis and an interpretive report of interviews with eight teen gamers. Findings sugges

Notre étude vise à mettre en lumière les utilisations qu’il est possible de faire des jeux vidéo en classe et, plus précisément, la manière dont ceux-ci peuvent permettre de faire le pont entre les concepts quotidiens et les concepts scientifiques, un cadre conceptuel issu de la théorie historico-culturelle de Vygotsky. Cet objectif découle de notre problématique, qui a consisté à souligner l’écart existant entre la culture scolaire et la culture ludique qui imprègne la vie des adolescents et des adolescentes à l’heure actuelle.

Abstract:

Multi-user computer-aided design (CAD) is an emerging technology that promises to facilitate collaboration, enhance product quality, and reduce product development lead times by allowing multiple engineers to work on the same design at the same time. The BYU site of the NSF Center for e-Design has developed advanced multi-user CAD prototypes that have demonstrated the feasibility and value of this technology. Despite the possibilities that this software opens up for enhanced collaboration, there are now a new variety of challenges and opportunities to understand and address. For multi-user CAD

Media & Communication<br>Ph.D.<br>The relationship between video games and learning is a topic of interest for academic fields. But how can a voluntary activity, like playing video games, motivate students to be academically productive? This dissertation used the popular video game, Minecraft, to measure the intrinsic motivation of 7th and 8th grade students in mathematics class, using a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework. The results demonstrated that intrinsic motivation remained at high levels, as long as students are competent in game controls and were relatively free to do what the

Abstract:

Livability, sustainability, and accessibility in urban public space are growing concerns in urban research and policy agendas. The professional field, however, lacks perspectives for public space qualities. Academic research about women and girls’ involvement in the re-design of public spaces is scarce. The Swedish suburb of Fittja in Botkyrka municipality is characterized by modernism and functionalism and at the beginning of a large refurbishment process. In 2018, think tank Global Utmaning initiated #UrbanGirlsMovement Botkyrka with the purpose of improving the public spaces of Fittja toget

Abstract:

In this study we aimed to investigate the process through which players of video games situate, and form an understanding of their presence within the virtual game environment. This study specifically investigates this process in games played through a first person perspective with the intention of minimising the amount of visual information provided the participants. For this purpose we created two scenarios within a videogame environment specifically design for the study. A total of thirteen participants took part in the study, and after each season a semi structured interview was performed.

Abstract:

This thesis presents an ethnographic study that aims at explicating the work of creating content in Minecraft. The existing literature paves the way in understanding Minecraft’s community by providing fragments of what players do. However, the game is studied mainly from a ludic perspective or is treated as a resource to explore distinct research agendas, instead of a field of study in itself. As such, particular phenomena that are situated inside Minecraft’s community are lost. The conducted fieldwork discovered the invisible digital economy that is part of this community.
