I have decided to do my literature review on the topic
Video Games and Development. I am going to choose a few specific forms of development to focus on, but I have not narrowed down my resources yet. I have found the search for useful articles to be more than difficult. Many sources look useful, but once I open them and begin reading they become irrelevant to my cause. I seem to be finding more negative focused topics, against video gaming, than I am positive ones. I will continue my quest for resources and keep my fingers crossed that my luck will change. The following are sources I have come up with so far:
Gee, James. P. (n.d.). Why Are
Video Games Good For Learning?
Gee, James. P. (n.d.). Good Video Games and Good Learning.
Helms, D., & Sawtelle, S. M. (2007). A Study of
the Effectiveness of Cognitive Skill Therapy Delivered in a Video-Game Format. Optometry
& Vision Development, 38(1), 19-26.

Video Games. (n.p).
Ryan, R., Rigby, C. C., & Przybylski, A. (2006).

I'm not sure what you mean by development. Do you mean Cognitive Development? I did a search using Google Scholar for Video Games and Cognitive Development and found several articles. for example one is:
ReplyDeleteEffects of video game practice on girls and boys spatial thinking.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0193397394900043
Another is:
Video Games and Education:Education in the face of a Parallel School.
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=950583
This one should point to other research articles you can use.
You should be able to access these article using the Fairmont State Library.
Let me know if this is helpful or how I can help you out on this. I think you need start by being more specific by what you mean as "development".
