Computer Games ‘Motivate Pupils’

A third of teachers are using computer games in the classroom and a majority believe they improve pupils’ skills and knowledge, a survey suggests. The survey of 1,000 teachers in England and Wales suggests a quarter also personally use them in their free time.

Over half of the 1000 teachers questioned by Nesta Futurelab said they would use them in future and believed they were a “good motivational tool”. But two thirds expressed concerns they could lead to anti-social behaviour.
