Description

The paper presents an educational game called Physics Codenames, which aims to enhance pupils' comprehension of physics concepts. In the research, we observed the game process within three groups: first-year university students, pre-service teachers of biology, chemistry, and geography, and upper-secondary students. The clues and associated concepts were recorded, along with player discussions. The preliminary results indicate that playing Physics Codenames has the potential to develop a physics conceptual apparatus.
