| Description |
The following Master of Education thesis explores the impact of educational video games on students with learning disabilities (SLD). |
| Abstract |
Students with learning disabilities (SLD) have a greater need for skill development. Video game growth has provided new ways to learn academic and social development skills. Using a mixed methods approach, SLD from a rural high school in the western United States were given a self-reporting survey regarding improved academic and social skills from video game experience. Although students identified several skills, they can gain using video games such as persistence and problem solving. The study found that the correlation between time played, and perceived skills gained was not significant. Future study with a larger sample size is suggested to explore these perceived skills. |
