I overhead this query throughout the July 4th vacation, and I have been fascinated by it, “Why will we, as adults, nonetheless take a break from studying in the summertime?”
That thought germinated as I learn the e book Homo Ludens: A Examine of the Play-Ingredient in Tradition by Johan Huizinga. (I don’t suggest the e book; it’s outdated, not written in English, and really tutorial.)
And that’s what prompted me to create this video collection about enjoyable in Studying and Growth.
There are 4 movies, all about half-hour lengthy. And every investigates scientific research of enjoyable and what it means for Studying and Growth. Particularly:
- The first video seems to be at some cool neuroscience into why story is such an efficient educating instrument
- The second video dives into sorts of enjoyable, particularly, these primarily based on the 16 Core Wishes all of us have
- Subsequent, we deconstruct video games to find what makes them participating if not addicting, and ask, “Are there points of video games we are able to use in our studying applications?”
- Which brings us to the ultimate video about gamification, however from the psychology perspective as an alternative of recreation design
