构建类教育玩具游戏任务的结构类型分析

目的 构建类教育玩具的游戏任务结构对学习功效的实现具有非常重要的影响。对构建类教育玩具游戏任务的结构类型进行分析,有利于厘清游戏任务的布局规律,为设计合理的、承载优良学习理念的构建类教育玩具提供了重要参考。方法 围绕目前主流的学习理论及其与学习工具之间的关系进行梳理,在此基础上对构建类教育玩具游戏任务的主要结构类型进行逐一分析。结论 在形式纷繁的构建类教育玩具的游戏任务中,其内部结构可依据相关学习理论的内涵归结为“单线型游戏任务结构”“多线归一型游戏任务结构”“多线开放型游戏任务结构”“建构型游戏任务结构”4种类型,它们分别适配于不同的游戏化学习目标,其价值可在构建类教育玩具的“外形”“连接”“功能”3个设计维度上得到集中体现。

Structure Type of Game Task in Constructing Educational Toys

The game task structure in constructing educational toys has a very important influence on the realization of learning efficacy. According to the structure type analysis of the game task in constructing educational toys, it is helpful to clarify the layout rules of game tasks and provide important reference for designing the constructing educational toys with good learning ideas. This paper focuses on the current mainstream learning theories and relationship between the game task structure in constructing educational toys and learning tools to analyze the main structural types of the game tasks in constructing educational toys one by one. Based on relevant learning theories, for game tasks of manifold constructing educational toys, their internal structures can be classified into four types:"single-line game task structure", "multi-line unified game task structure", "multi-line divergent game task structure" and "constructive game task structure", and they are applicable to different game-based learning objectives, meanwhile, their value can be embodied in such three design dimensions as "shape", "connection" and "function".
