Kodu research

For the past weeks we have had a visitor from the University of Oulu, Mr. Fatiu Arilesere.

He is from Nigeria, studying Learning, education and technology (LET).

At home he works as math and introductory technology teacher for junior secondary school in Lagos,

He is doing his thesis about “Use of Kodu game Lab to enhance teaching and learning”. He is collecting data in our club to his study by observing and use of questionnaire.

Mr.Arilesere has discovered that the kids use the tool a lot and it has help them in collaborating and interacting and with their peers during any given individual and group task. Furthermore, it shows how much student participates and interacts with each other using this tool. On the one hand, during the observation students showed that they could learn from each by doing, viewing and asking from either their teachers or peers during a giving task. On the other hand, students showed how critical they could think during a giving task.

Therefore, the Kodu game lab has shown great potential in collaboration and interactive learning situation during his observation.
