Internet-based
environmental education: An experimental study applying the
simulation game SimUlme in school |
|

An Internet based simulation
game on ecological and economical consequences of nutrition
consumption has been developed to improve environmental knowledge
and attitudes in a playful and vivid way. In the experiment
12 classes were instructed on the consequences of nutrition
consumption, 6 classes with application of the «SimUlme»
learning game (experimental condition), 6 classes without it
(control condition). The comprehensiveness, active participation,
and engagement of the students in the experimental condition
were judged signifi-
cantly more positive than in the control condition. The tendency
toward positive changes of environmental attitudes concerning
nutrition behavior was more marked in the experimental condition
as compared to the control condition. The lessons in the two
conditions improved environmental knowledge in a complementary
way. The results indicate that adequate Internet games can effectively
support education in school. |
