GameON: Educational game design. Methodological Models

Conținut

This playlist will help you familiarise yourself with the methodological models that could be used in the game design process. These methodological models were developed during the GameOn good practice mapping phase we asked 23 facilitators of game design and interviewed extensively 10 of them in the podcast series “Unfolding Game Design” where we got to know more about the different approaches used in the game design journey.

Based on our research, the GameOn partners produced seven models to approach game design. The Participative approach is one of them. Watch the following explainer video to learn more about this model:
﻿
﻿Download the MeMos poster that describes the Participatory game design characteristics.
﻿
Usually, the participative process is practised in non-formal education settings, where young people initiate the process and are involved in all phases of the game design. 
﻿
The primary goal is to create a game that promotes social inclusion among other young people.
﻿
Following a participative approach, young people get involved in the following game design process stages:
﻿
﻿
﻿
Participative game design has unique features.
﻿
ProcessUsually, young people get involved in collaborative group work by being guided in some phases.
﻿
Participants co-design and conduct joint research to gather information needed to create and validate the game's contents.
﻿
Games that are produced usually are used as a social inclusion tool. As a result, one unique game is created. The game topic is closely connected to the daily life of future players.
﻿
Such a game design approach requires a long development time that lasts from 6 months to more than a year.
﻿
ParticipantsParticipative game design most often involves non-governmental organisations’ members or youth centres’ participants. They are, at the same time, game design promoters and participants.
﻿
Other actorsVolunteers and specific experts may get involved to help develop a game in some parts, for example, game concept, graphics, and coding.
﻿
StructureParticipative game design has open structures and activities that participants develop on the way. It's a mixture of workshops, collaborative work in meetings and communications channels, and feedback from experts.
﻿
GuidanceAssociation members and sometimes experts support participants in developing specific processes or tasks.
﻿
CompetencesThese are some personal, social and civic competences young people can develop in Participative game design projects:
﻿
﻿
﻿
ExamplesListen to the GameOn podcast Escape Racism.
