Educational studies on profession-orientated game-based learning in the Danish veterinary education

Description

The presentation provides an overview of an ongoing project dealing with profession-oriented game-based learning in the Danish
veterinary learning environment. After the contextualization of the research project, the empirical background for the studies conducted
in a mandatory veterinary master course will be described. The fieldwork can be characterized as ‘classic’ ethnographic studies
(participant observation, interviews, document collection and photos) although the implementation of game-based learning in veterinary
education by means of ‘digital games-in-use’ requires the development of new methods. Hence, methodical and methodological
implications for the investigation of game-based learning will be outlined and the interplay between traditional ethnographic fieldwork
and fieldwork in settings using digital educational technologies shall be discussed
