Abstract
This article explores the
applicability of video arcade game
formats to educational microcomputer
software. Four variables are discussed as
being potentially important to the
motivational appeal of video arcade
games and several established
educational practices are examined in
relation to the motivational features of
arcade games. Also, guidelines for
educational curriculum based on arcade
game formats are proposed and the term
Arc-Ed Curriculum is offered to describe
such software. The content for this article
is based on established learning theory
and the authors1 experience in the
development and field testing of six
math games based on video game
formats.
