  • ANTIQUITY and WE Introduction Katarzyna Marciniak, from the Antiquity and We OBTA and Civilizational Studies
    Antiquity and We at the Centre for Studies on the Classical Tradition (OBTA) ANTIQUITY At the same time, thanks to Professor Kazimierz Kumaniecki and Professor Lidia Win- niczuk [...], a certain ideological message got through to us. It was not enunciated explicitly, but rather implicitly. It was the conviction that the reception of ancient tradition was a living part of Polish collective memory and a marker of its transformations; that being aware AND WE of that tradition authorized and obliged us to speak and think of Poland and its place within Mediterranean civilization. Jerzy Axer, from Antiquity and We – The Perspective of the Period of Transformation ANTIQUITY AND WE The Humanities are always about the future of man, which he himself is not able to create without reaching to the resources generated in the past. Interdisciplinariness is getting to know the process in practice. The dialogic character of the Humanities also begins here. As an exer- cise in dialogue, OBTA perfectly fits my vision of the role that we are to play in society. Jan Kieniewicz, from OBTA and Civilizational Studies. Experiences and Prospects [...] reception studies view Antiquity as a cultural experience. In consequence, rather than the classical world as such, we examine the images of that world as created in subsequent epochs, in accordance with the assumption that each new deciphering of the classical legacy gives us knowledge about those who make the decoding in the first place. In this way, Classical Anti- quity becomes a reference point for generations, societies, and both small and large groups of culture recipients, wherever Mediterranean Civilization has managed to reach.

  • Video Games in the Process of Historical Education at the Academic Level
    COLLOQUIUM WYDZIAŁU NAUK HUMANISTYCZNYCH I SPOŁECZNYCH KWARTALNIK 4/2012 Ł ukasz Róż ycki Akademia Marynarki Wojennej w Gdyni VIDEO GAMES IN THE PROCESS OF HISTORICAL EDUCATION AT THE ACADEMIC LEVEL ABSTRACT This piece deals with the significance of computer games in the modern teaching process. The author identified the main challenges for the teachers that are related to prob- lems created by electronic entertainment. The second part of the text focuses on the positive impact of video games exemplified by popular „mods” based on actual historical events. In conclusion, the author stated that it will still be many years before computer games are used by researchers in the process of teaching the academic youth, however they do have the potential to become something more than just pure fun. Keywords: video games, education, history. For a historian to take up a subject normally reserved for cultural ex- perts is very rare, although there might exist some extenuating circumstanc- es1. Especially if the subject of common interest is a discipline as young as video game studies2. There is no clearly defined methodology when it comes 1 John Dovey and Helen Kennedy concluded that a video game, in certain specific cir- cumstances, may be interpreted using the methods that had hitherto been reserved for textual sources. J. Dovey H. W. Kennedy, Kultura gier komputerowych [Game Cultures], Kraków 2011, p. 109-111. As regards Aarseth’s objections, in the analyzed cases we are dealing with narrative games, thus they may be subjected to classical analysis.

  • THE Gameit HANDBOOK a Framework of Game Based Learning Pedagogy
    THE GAMEiT HANDBOOK A framework of game based learning pedagogy Throughout history games have been an integral part of human culture, and many different types of games have been played for both leisure and more serious purposes, such as practicing management strategies or learning relevant skills and competences. In more recent times, digital games have effectively permeated most areas of popular culture and society in general. Digital games are no longer confined to arcades or the darkened rooms of teenage boys, but have successfully broken new ground, forcing us to keep revising what games are – and can be. Throughout the book, we make an effort to clearly illustrate how games or elements of games can be included in educational practice, and to what end. HANDBOOK T The GAMEiT handbook is one of the outcomes of an EU-project with the following i Mission Statement: “We aim to identify, collect, test, and distribute good practice in game based learning (GBL). Our project will result in a framework of game based learning pedagogy.” Project Website: http://www.projectgameit.eu Project Partners: CV2 (Denmark), ZAXIS (Denmark), NADE (Norway), University THE GAME THE GAMEiT of Stavanger (Norway), University of Bournemouth (UK), University of Applied Sciences Koblenz (Germany) HANDBOOK A framework of game based learning pedagogy Edited by: Mathias Poulsen and Ebba Køber ISBN 978-82-91766-25-6 9 7 8 8 2 9 1 7 6 6 2 5 6 THE GAMEiT HANDBOOK The GAMEiT handbook Published 2011 Oslo, Norway.

Since these guys are a little squishy and susceptible to flanks, you need to have extra Galatian Royal Guards behind and alongside them, protecting your flank and also assaulting enemies. Navies are a strength but they lack the large ships of other Greek factions. Lots of swords, a little bit lighter armoured than the Celts and they have chariots.

From Age of Empires to Zork: Using Games in the Classroom web.archive.org/web/20130412175440/http:/www.academiccommons.org/commons/essay/gamesinclassroom With the remarkable growth in the gaming industry in recent years, educators have begun looking at games as a way of reaching students in this new digital world. While games have certainly been the target of criticism and even vilification in the popular media, many do possess qualities beneficial to education, such as the presentation of scenarios, problem solving, collaboration, and metrics. Among the early researchers of game pedagogy is James Paul Gee, professor of reading at the University of Wisconsin. Gee sees games as models for sound pedagogical practice. To convince consumers to pay for the privilege of learning the often complex rules, scenarios, and interactions within their games, Gee argues, game manufacturers have had to become expert teachers.

Their focus on historical representations, narratives and processes means educators are using them in formal educational practice. Surprisingly, there is little empirical research on the educational outcomes from the use of historical games in formal contexts, and the specific ways they can increase a learner’s historical awareness and understanding. Existing research on historical game engagements outside of these formal contexts is even scarcer. There has been very little study of whether, what, and how players informally learn through historical games, and their informal learning activities in relation to them.

All sources, references and literature used or ex- cerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in com- plete reference to the due source. Jan Pospíšil Advisor: MgA. Helena Lukášová, ArtD. i Acknowledgement I would like to thank my adviser MgA. Helena Lukášová, ArtD. for her pa- tience, overall support and accommodating approach. I also thank Berzovan Alexandru (Babes-Bolyai University) and Claudiu Toma (Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara) for supplying me with books and other resources on Da- cian archaeology, as well as their helpful insight and comments. I thank Mgr. JiˇríChmelík for technical consultation. ii Abstract This thesis defines archaeological reconstruction and describes its history and evolution. It explores the use of computers in reconstruction and lists currently used techniques and methods. Romanian archaeology and a brief historical summary of the ancient Dacian people are discussed with Roma- nian archaeologists. The practical part presents the results of attempted re- constructions of Dacian archaeological finds supplied by Romanian archaeol- ogists. Various freely available applications suitable for reconstruction were tested and their performance compared. The thesis also suggests possible course of further research and development of digital reconstruction. iii Keywords archaeological reconstruction, popular-educational illustration, 3D model- ing, automated reconstruction, virtual reality, Dacians iv Contents 1 Introduction ................................ 1 2 Archaeological reconstruction ..................... 2 2.1 Definition of reconstruction and its purpose .
