Title: Pre-Service Teacher's Attitudes towards Computer Games
Abstract: This pilot-study begins to examine pre-service teachers attitudes towards computer games. In the past few years, articles have remarked that when kids who have played games become classroom teachers, games will be more accepted in the classroom. This pilot-study, of a small population of pre-service teachers, showed that over 95% had played computer games before college, over 80% still played computers games today periodically, and 15% played computer games more than 8 hours a week. The factors that emerged from the attitude instrument showed that prior experience with games did not ensure positive attitudes towards games. This presentation will discuss the pilot-study outcomes as well as describe the creation of the computer gaming inventory that is measuring use and attitudes towards games.
