Consolarium

As part of the work that the Consolarium has done in the field of game based learning and more importantly the significance of the reference to games design in the CfE Technology outcomes LTS is in the early stages of an initiative that aims to develop the capacity for the development of a games design community via Glow. As part of this work are carrying out this survey that we hope will help us outline the current landscape about the use and spread of games based learning in Scottish schools. To this end we have worked with Scottish Screen and the Abertay University to create two questionnaires: one for teachers and one for pupils. We are hoping that responses from both questionnaires will give us a clearer picture of the spread of games based learning and some attitudes to it.

Teacher questionnaire
Closing date for this questionnaire is Friday 20th November. It should not take more than 5-10 mins to complete.

Pupil questionnaire
Closing date for this questionnaire is Friday 11th December. It should not take more than 5-10 mins to complete.

There is the added incentive for pupils to participate by the possibility of winning a Nintendo DSi. The following link also contains text that addresses the issue of safety in relation to children’s participation with this survey.

We fully appreciate that GBL in schools is hapening in many places outside of Scotland but this survey is aimed only at Scottish pupils and Scottish schools.  We would greatly appreciate as many responses as possible to so please share it with as many people as you can.

Our results will be shared with the wider community once we have had time to collate and analyse them.

Thanking you in advance for your participation and support with this.
