The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning, published by the MIT Press in collaboration with the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE), present findings from current research on how young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. The Reports result from research projects funded by the MacArthur Foundation as part of its $50 million initiative in digital media and learning. They are published openly online (as well as in print) in order to support broad dissemination and to stimulate further research in the field.
Although most video gaming takes place at home, family learning and communication around video games, for the most part, has been ignored in education and communication research. At the same time, despite being increasingly accepted as a context for teaching and learning, video games continue to be a source of skepticism and concern among many parents due in part to the negative portrayal of video games in mainstream media. This book is an attempt to broaden the conversation and discourse around video games by focusing on what this medium could do for families.
Although I played video games while growing up, it wasnt until the first year of my doctoral program, where I studied family learning in the context of museums, that I discovered video gaming as a means to support families. A serendipitous observation of rich conversations among parents and their six-year-olds around a glass-blowing simulation game at an exhibit gave me the idea to design video games for families and planted the seed for this book.
I am indebted to Michael Downton, a fellow graduate student, for helping me run the first Family Quest after-school program for families in the fall of 2007. As part of this program, families played through different educational games using Quest Atlantis, a three-dimensional, multiplayer online teaching and learning platform. I spent the next three years growing Family Quest from an after-school program into a stand-alone virtual world within Quest Atlantis where families played the games I developed. My advisers, Joyce Alexander and Sasha Barab, should be recognized for providing guidance and encouragement to pursue an area of research outside of the traditional boundaries of the learning sciences. Many ideas and some of the work presented in this book are drawn from my dissertation work, which was supported by a fellowship I received from Indiana University.
Elisabeth and I met while I was a faculty member and fellow at the Center for Games and Impact at Arizona State University (ASU). Through our collaboration, we were able to expand the research on families and video games in new and exciting ways. A grant from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and the Heising-Simons Foundation allowed us to document how families with diverse backgrounds engage in intergenerational play around video games in the context of their homes. Chapter 2 of this book focuses primarily on the findings of this work.
