TRANSMITTING AND PRESERVING CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE THROUGHOPEN-WORLD ROLE-PLAYING GAMES
Journal Title: Role of Higher Education Institutions in Society: Challenges, Tendencies and Perspectives - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper maps out the theories informing my PhD research into open-world role-playing games (OW-RPGs) as tools for individual learning and transmission of cultural knowledge. Three hypotheses and the methods used to explore them are outlined. 1.OW-RPGs are particularly well suited for cultural learning due to their complexity. 2. OW-RPGs foster deep player engagement outside of play. 3. An OW-RPG would be effective in transmitting Australian Aboriginal culture. To better illustrate this in a European context, the paper also examines the use of RPGs for Polish-Lithuanian cultural heritage.
