Educational Computer Games for Instructional Purposes: Current Status and Evaluative Indicators

Although educational computer games are popular in current educational settings, few studies and policies in Taiwan have considered their evaluative indicators. Owing to this lack of evaluative indicators, teachers do not have suitable references to choose good educational computer games. This study aims to summarize educational indicators for evaluating educational computer games. We analyzed the content of educational computer games and used the Delphi method to collect expert opinion. From the results obtained, we developed a set of forty three evaluative indicators sorted into five categories.
