Abstract

"The study examines the educational potential of digital games through media pedagogy, asserting that these games harbor educational values awaiting discovery. Employing qualitative content analysis, critical media theory, and media semiotics, it identifies that genre-specific digital games, including adventures, interactive drama, and film narratives, offer educational insights that enhance reality comprehension. The educational values found in these games emphasize ethical principles like altruism and empathy. The conclusion drawn is that genre-specific digital games serve as informal learning tools with significant educational merit."
