The use of Serious Games and the teachers\u27 role. Reflections on experience of the use of Serious Games in Italy, Spain and Romania

This paper puts forward some experience-based reflections on the role of teachers in planning and conducting educational actions involving the use of Serious Games (SGs). We consider the previous studies in the evolution of the teacher role with the introduction of ICTs in the teaching and learning process and the use of Electronic Learning Objects (Adell & Sales, 2000; Bates, 2011). We focus our paper in the specific changes on the role of the teacher in the use of Serious Games in formal educational settings
