Preschoolers now play digital games on touch screens, e-toys and electronic learning systems. Although digital games have an important place in children’s lives, there needs to be more information about the meanings they attach to games. In this context, the research aims to determine the perceptions of preschool children studying in different regions of Turkey regarding digital games with the help of metaphors. Four hundred twenty-one preschool children studying in seven regions of Turkey participated in the research. The data were collected through the “Digital Game Metaphor Form” to determine children’s perceptions of digital games and through “Drawing and Visualization”, which comprises the symbolic pictures children draw of their feelings and thoughts. Phenomenology, a qualitative research model, was used in this study. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method. When the data were evaluated, the children had produced 421 metaphors collected in the following seven categories: “Nature Images, Technology Images, Fantasy/Supernatural Images, Education Images, Affective/Motivational Images, Struggle Images, and Value Images”. When evaluated based on regions, the Black Sea Region ranked first in the “Fantasy/Supernatural Images and Affective/Motivational Images” categories. In contrast, the Central Anatolia Region ranked first in the “Technology Images and Education Images” categories, and the Marmara Region ranked first in the “Nature Images and Value Images” categories. In addition, it was determined that the Southeast Anatolia Region ranks first in the “Struggle Images” category.

There had been increasing number of child-centred destination established in the city with the concept of edutainment as to fulfil the needs of alpha generation. Emphasizing on three combined elements of personalized learning, fun and play, edutainment concept is seen as new approach. This is to enhance lifelong learning for the future generation who heavily depending on the advancement and incorporation of technologies to cultivate their intelligent growth. Consequently, the establishment of demand from the preschool operators can be seen through the growing number of excursion and field trip activities organized for children. However, less was examined as to what extend the concept of city edutainment fit into the needs of the educational purposes programs. Therefore, it is important to understand as to how the existing informal educational settings should transform to meet the needs of the alpha generation either by city population or outbound tourist. Hence, the understandings by the city governance is a must in developing and evaluating policy related to edutainment as to ensure the preferences for education-based infrastructures and learning meet the needs. Thus, this paper will discuss the fundamental ability of the city that makes it qualify as edutainment destination with the specific reference to the demand from preschool education in presenting the alpha generation. This including the characteristics of alpha generation, the needs from the preschool education and the city prospects as edutainment informal learning setting. In this case, edutainment facilities are important elements for both urban planning and education which indirectly contribute to the opportunity to explore real learning experience beyond the classroom and shape a better quality of life for future generation.

Abductive Reasoning and ICT Enhanced Learning: Towards the Epistemology of Digital Nomads

The core features of mobile technology are said to be mobility, interactivity, contextuality, ubiquity, pervasiveness, personalization and collaboration. These features seem to tally surprisingly well with the ideals of constructivist pedagogy. Information and communication technology-enhanced learning in general and mobile learning in particular seem to favour the abductive form of reasoning. I suggest that abduction is the mobile (or "pedestrian") form of reasoning par excellence because it meets the demands of a mobile learner envisioned by constructivist pedagogues. However, knowledge by abduction has its limitations. In addition to abduction, tacit knowledge and aura are concepts that help exploring the limits of ICT-enhanced knowledge and learning. It is suggested further that there are certain features connected to advanced mobile technologies by which one may overcome some limitations of ICT-enhanced education and edutainment. These features are multisensoriality, context-awareness and vireality (i.e. mixtures of the real and the virtual).
