Development of a Prototype Educational Game for Learning History Using the Unity Game Engine

U ovom radu istaknuta je primjena digitalnih igara u obrazovanju. S ciljem olakšavanja učenja povijesti učenicima petog razreda osnovne škole, razvijen je prototip obrazovne igre pod nazivom Tobijeve avanture. Za razvoj igre korišteno je programsko okruženje Unity. Rad se sastoji od objašnjenih koncepata i osnovnih značajki igre. Razvijena igra omogućava korisniku kretanje kroz razne scene i rješavanje raznih kvizova. Pri svim točno odgovorenim pitanjima, korisniku je omogućeno daljnje kretanje kroz igru. Ako je barem jedan odgovor netočan, korisnik mora ponovno riješiti kviz. Ponavljanjem je učenicima omogućeno brže i zabavnije savladavanje gradiva.This thesis emphasizes use of digital games in education.
