課程介紹
-
幼兒數位遊戲結合遊戲、科技、互動與多媒體，已成為當代幼兒生活與學習經驗的一部分。本課程從幼兒遊戲行為與發展出發，探討數位遊戲對幼兒學習、互動與教育的意義。
-
本課程將帶領學生探索幼兒數位遊戲產業、科技與幼兒的關係，以及數位遊戲在教室內外的不同應用情境。透過實際試玩、遊戲觀察、案例研討與課堂討論，理解不同數位遊戲的設計理念、遊戲機制與學習取向。
-
課程強調「做中學」與問題導向學習（PBL），學生將透過 Workshop 與分組討論，實際體驗各種類型的幼兒數位遊戲，從遊戲參與者的角度進行觀察與分析，並進一步思考數位遊戲如何支持幼兒的學習與發展。
-
同時，課程也鼓勵學生從遊戲體驗進一步連結教育實務與研究，培養幼兒數位遊戲的觀察、分析與專業判斷能力，探索數位遊戲在幼兒教育、數位學習與教學實踐上的更多可能。
Course Overview
-
Digital games integrate play, technology, interaction, and multimedia, and have become an increasingly important part of young children’s everyday lives and learning experiences. This course explores digital play from the perspectives of children’s play behaviors and development, with a focus on its educational significance and implications for learning and interaction.
-
The course examines the digital game industry for young children, the relationship between technology and young children, and the applications of digital games both inside and outside the classroom. Through hands-on gameplay, play observation, case studies, and classroom discussions, students explore different game designs, mechanisms, educational approaches, and learning purposes.
-
Emphasizing learning by doing and Problem-Based Learning (PBL), the course provides students with opportunities to experience various types of digital games designed for young children. Through workshops and group discussions, students observe and analyze digital play from the perspective of players and educators, and consider how digital games can support children’s learning and development.
-
Students are also encouraged to connect their gameplay experiences with educational practice and research. Through observation, analysis, discussion, and reflection, they develop professional perspectives and judgment regarding digital games for young children and explore their potential in early childhood education, digital learning, and innovative teaching practices.

Student Projects, Related Publications & Research Presentations
本課程結合教師長期投入幼兒數位遊戲與幼兒教育的研究，將研究成果、教學實踐與課堂內容相互連結。教師透過幼兒數位遊戲的實際設計、觀察與教學實踐，持續探討幼兒的遊戲行為、學習經驗與數位遊戲的教育意義，並將課程中的教學經驗與研究成果延伸至國際期刊、學術研討會及相關出版。透過教學與研究的持續對話，讓課程內容不僅建立於理論，也回應真實的幼兒教育現場與數位遊戲發展。
The course is closely connected to the instructor’s ongoing research in digital games for young children and early childhood education, integrating research findings, teaching practice, and classroom learning. Through the design, observation, and educational implementation of digital games, the instructor continuously explores children’s play behaviors, learning experiences, and the educational significance of digital games. Classroom experiences and research outcomes are further extended into international journal publications, academic conference presentations, and related publications. Through an ongoing dialogue between teaching and research, the course connects theoretical knowledge with real-world practices in early childhood education and the development of digital games.
