The games playing habits of 700 7- to 16-year-olds is the subject
of new research carried out by directors, Professor Angela
McFarlane, who holds a Chair in Education at Bristol University,
Ysanne Heald and Anne Sparrowhawk, of Teachers Evaluating
Educational Multimedia (TEEM) on behalf of the DfES.
The report reveals the many important benefits that children
acquire as a result of playing computer games.
The research, which gathered information from teachers, parents
and pupils, shows that children learn a range of strategic
thinking and planning skills that teachers find beneficial to
their pupils' learning.
Rather than games playing being a solitary, male-orientated
activity, the report demonstrates that children prefer to play in
pairs and small groups, and are excited and motivated with the
challenges that games provide.
