Active, healthier video games for children

Active video games, which promote dance and exercise, are healthier for children than passive and sedentary ones, according to a study done in England. The study is published by the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

Low levels of physical activity are linked to obesity, the article added. Active video games excite children to dance, imitate the movements of sports such as tennis, basketball or boxing and in that way encourage physical activity. Stephen Smallwood and colleagues at the University of Chester, England, examined the physiological responses and energy expenditure of children participating in active video games. For this they used a video game with a sensor device similar to a computer camera and a programming technology that allows the player to interact directly without the need for manual control of the game. The study included ten boys and eight girls aged 11 to 15 years. "Significant increases in heart rate, oxygen intake and energy expenditure were observed during all game conditions compared to video games that are sedentary," the authors note.

The games "Dance Central" and "Kinect Sports Boxing", increased the energy expenditure of children between 1050 and 263 percent, respectively, above the resting levels. Compared to the more traditional video games, in which the players remain seated or recostado, the values ​​obtained by the most active games were of 103 and 194 percent higher, respectively. "An active video game is unlikely to provide, on its own, the amount of physical activity recommended for children, or to spend the number of calories required to prevent or reverse the obesity epidemic," the researchers added.

"However, it seems, from the results of this study that an active game can  contribute to the child's levels of physical activity and energy expenditure, at least in the short term," they added.

Tecnología y educación. ¿Por qué jugando se aprende más?

Jugar es un aspecto natural en el desarrollo de los niños. A partir de ello, comienzan a conocer a su entorno, a otras personas e incluso a ellos mismos. Según los expertos, los juegos son sistemas educacionales en sí mismos, porque permiten al individuo asimilar un contenido de manera experiencia y con un alto nivel de involucramiento.

La percepción del aprendizaje en el pasado se basaba en la asimilación y repetición de contenidos de historia o de Ciencias,  y la adquisición de destrezas básicas como leer, escribir, calcular, etc.

Actualmente se valoran más las competencias consideradas de más alto nivel, como la resolución de problemas complejos, el pensamiento crítico, el análisis contextual o la extrapolación de conocimientos.

Los juegos son -por diseño- un espacio para la resolución de problemas complejos, que los jugadores desentrañan y comprenden a través de la investigación personal. Vienen diseñados con grados crecientes de complejidad, de modo que el jugador va afinando sus destrezas a medida que juega. Tiene claras instrucciones de por dónde empezar, y qué hacer en cada secuencia. Además, generan data en tiempo real que le da al jugador un feedback inmediato sobre su desempeño.

Más allá de la metodología del juego, la sola actividad de jugar es en sí, muy importante para desarrollar la persistencia en el dominio de una competencia. El hecho de ser un juego da a la persona la sensación de que tiene permiso para experimentar, tomar riesgos y fallar, de una manera que posiblemente no sería considerada aceptable en la vida real. Los juegos se convierten así en un medio de aprendizaje que puede ser util en el desarrollo de los pequeños.
