Oyun Temelli Öğrenmenin Önemine Yönelik Bir Çalışma: Homo Ludens (Oyun Oynayan İnsan)

Abstract

In this study, the importance of the game in education within the framework of the concept of Homo Ludens (people who play games) will be emphasized, and in parallel with the research and investigations on the subject, determinations and evaluations will be made. In this way, it is aimed to contribute to the literature and to support the studies to be carried out on the subject in the context of the conceptual framework of the human being who plays the game. Again, within the scope of the study, after giving various definitions of the game as a concept concept, it will be examined what it means to be a Homo Ludens (a person who plays a game) in education. It can be said that this definition is revealed in game-based learning. This application, which is based on teaching while entertaining, contains both benefits and difficulties for the teacher and the student. If initiatives and arrangements are made to eliminate the difficulties encountered in practice, the affective, cognitive, intellectual and physical success of the students can be maximized with this method, which provides permanent learning quickly and effectively. Key Words: Games, Homo Ludens, Learning Processes

The Place of Intelligence Games in Philosophy and Logic Education

“…With the changing and developing educational approaches, game is now regarded as an activity that must be benefitted for an efficient and permanent learning. Studies (Aşuluk, 2020;Atay, 2018;Karataş, 2021;Lynne, 2004;Uskan & Bozkuş, 2019;Uslu, 2022;Şentürk, 2020;Whitebread, 2012) show that game makes a positive contribution to the development child. With these developments, game has been encountered so often in recent years.…”

“…According to Uslu (2022), since game-based learning is not an education in games but a technique adopting the logic of game in education, education symbolizes the whole and game symbolizes the part. For that reason, building a sense of education based on games could mean ignoring other strategies used and diminishing education to entertainment.…”
