video games achievement

  • Last year, Iowa State University researcher Douglas Gentile published a survey of American 8-to-18 year-olds which found 12% of boys were video-game addicted, having at least six symptoms out of 11, similar to a scale for gambling addiction. Yet only 3% of girls were video game addicts.
  • Robert Weis and Brittany C Cerankosky of Denison University measured a group of boys' academic baseline achievement and surveyed their parents and teachers as well. They then gave half the boys video-game units. Boys receiving the video-game stations experienced an academic nosedive. The control group of boys without video games continued with solid schoolwork.

    Although this study is just correlative, it still poses some interesting questions about video games and academic achievement.

    The article points to the fact that professors and teachers already invite special guests using the same technology, so why not have absent students still be present in the same way? So, where should the line be drawn?

    This game seems to be very similar to a popular farm game in China. The different types of motivation (such as coin rewards) remind me of the extrinsic and intrinsic motivations mentioned in today's class.
