Organization of Learning and Teaching Scotland, (LTS) cover foundation programme in Scottish schools, conducted an analysis of the impact of developing computer games on the ability of students.
The study covered more than 600 schoolchildren from 32 Scottish schools that received the proposal a day to play the computer game Brain Training, which developed the Japanese neurobiology of Dundee. This time the LTS together with staff of the university and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education tested the validity of the results of last year's experiment in changing circumstances.
The group of students perform various tasks in the game during the first 20 minutes of lessons each day for 9 weeks. Classes in the control group were more traditional way. Students were tested before the experiment and after. As a result, it became clear that the success of participants in the experiment, 50% exceeded the achievement of the control group. In addition, researchers noted a decrease run-time dough for 5 minutes, improved behavior of schoolchildren and their ability to focus.
The study also found that less able children reached better results than the honour roll. Organizers of the experiment did not find the results according to sex students or the availability of games at home. All participants increased self-esteem. Technology Advisor LTS Derek Robertson said that the experiment is the first independent evidence that the use of developing computer games positively affect the performance of schoolchildren.
