Description

The paper presents dissertation research focusing on educational games in physics education. The research aimed to map the key factors that influence the successful use of games in the process of teaching physics in upper-secondary schools. In the research process, five new educational games were designed. These games were introduced into the teaching of physics in upper-secondary schools. Data was collected through observation of the gameplay, discussions with students, questionnaires for students and interviews with teachers. The data analysis is still ongoing, and the final results will be presented at the conference.
