海外では次々にシリアスゲーム、ゲームと教育・学習に関する学術書や開発ガイドが刊行されています。ここ2年ほどの間にまだご紹介していない文献がたまってきましたので、3回に分けてご紹介します。
まずはじめに、IGI Globalから刊行された3冊の論文集です。
Interdisciplinary Models and Tools for Serious Games: Emerging Concepts and Future Directions
Serious Game Design and Development: Technologies for Training and Learning
Gaming
and Cognition: Theories and Practice from the Learning Sciences
同社では立て続けにシリアスゲーム関連の論文集を出版しています（まだこの後も何冊か準備中のようです）。論文の質はさまざまなようですが、これだけのボリュームでこの分野の論文が出てくるというところに研究者の層の厚さの違いが出ているようです。一つの国からではなくて、英語圏各国での研究を集められるところで厚みが出せる面もありますね。
それぞれのトピックの関連研究レビューを行っているので、この分野の研究を行う方には、手元に置いてあると便利な感じです。ボリュームが多いので中身の紹介は割愛させていただいて、以下の目次をご覧ください。
