  • Erkundungen Im Spannungsfeld Von Pädagogik, Spielspass Und Technischer Machbarkeit
    Zeitschrift für Theorie und Praxis der Medienbildung ISSN 1424-3636 Themenheft Nr. 15/16: Computerspiele und Videogames in formellen und informellen Bildungskontexten Erkundungen im Spannungsfeld von Pädagogik, Spielspass und technischer Machbarkeit Gedanken zur Konzeption und Entwicklung spielbasierter ­­digitaler Lernumgebungen Florian Berger und Alexander Marbach Abstract Computerspiele sind heute aus der digitalen Medienwelt nicht mehr wegzuden- ken. Ihre rasante technische Entwicklung sowie ihre hohe Akzeptanz in der Jugend- kultur werfen Fragen nach pädagogischer Verwertbarkeit dieses Mediums auf. Auf diesem Gebiet besteht Forschungsbedarf: Für den Einsatz aktueller Spielkonzepte als Lehrmittel existieren keine fundierten Theorien oder Konzepte. Der schöpfe- rische Umgang mit Spielen durch Anwender («Emergent Gameplay») bietet hier durch sein hohes Motivationspotential einen vielversprechenden Ansatz. Die oft wenig beachtete Rolle der digitalen Spielen zugrunde liegenden Softwaretechnik sollte stärkere Berücksichtigung finden: Es existiert einerseits ein für die Akzeptanz beim Anwender notwendiges Minimum, andererseits ist der Einsatz des aktuellen technischen «state of the art» für die Umsetzung pädagogischer und didaktischer Ambitionen durch seine enormen Anforderungen wenig zielführend. Im Ergeb- nis sind Idee und Spielspass das Mass auch für Anwendungen des Game-Based Learn ing. Einleitung Die Einführung neuer Kommunikations- und Medientechnik wird regelmässig durch eines von drei Phänomenen begleitet: Ignoranz, scharfe Ablehnung oder übertriebene Begeisterung. Das erste deutsche Telefonbuch, 1881 in Berlin er- schienen, wurde – der damaligen Teilnehmerzahl entsprechend – als das «Buch der 94 Narren» bezeichnet. Ein zeitgenössischer Kommentar lautete: «Wir haben ein gut ausgebautes Botensystem. Was soll uns da das Fernsprechen nützen?»1 Reaktionen, die in eine der drei genannten Kategorien passen, finden sich auch für das Kino2 oder das Internet. 1 DeutschlandRadio Berlin, «KalenderBlatt« vom 14.6.2001.

These two men – Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford – were big fans of science fiction, and in Reiche’s case, fantasy role playing games (especially Dungeons and Dragons). Unsurprisingly, the game had a strong science fiction theme and heavy doses of traditional role-playing elements, wherein the player controlled one of two sides in an effort to either take over the universe as the marauding conquerors of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy, or save the universe as the brave defenders of the Alliance of Free Stars. Star Control effectively interleaved elements of strategy and action; the player tried to outwit the opposing forces in various turn-based inter-planetary strategic scenarios, and subsequently engaged enemy ships in real-time “space melee” one-on-one spaceship dogfights, similar in style to Spacewar, the earliest of video games (Derrenbacker). Many of the sequel’s most interesting elements, such as the unique characteristics of each race’s ships and behaviors, were established in this game and would carry on to Star Control 2. Figures 1a and 1b show some scenes from Star Control, illustrating how advanced some of the graphics from the game were for the time (figure 1a is also an early manifestation of the creators’ sense of humor – the ship shown in the middle of the picture is the flagship of an all-female race of humanoids; the explanation behind the visual is left to the reader’s imagination.).
