Purpose: The research applies a multidisciplinary perspective to create knowledge and insight about the opportunities that digital game design principles offer to physical education (PE) pedagogy. Methods: Data were initially collected through an appreciative inquiry (AI). AI offers an alternative research perspective to critical theory that has dominated the investigation of the work of PE teachers. This study uniquely used AI with a narrative approach and multidisciplinary analysis to examine two teachers’ use of digital game design pedagogy in PE. Results: It was found that the teachers were motivated to use digital game design principles to provide students with means to solve problems, manage learning motivations, evaluate progress, and gain control over their learning in ways that are not normally associated with the common PE method. Conclusion: The two examples provided illustrate the generative potential of AI research combined with a multidisciplinary perspective directed at examples of pedagogical change in PE.

体育教师对数字游戏设计原则的运用

目的：该研究应用多学科视角来创造关于数字游戏设计原则为体育 (PE) 教学法提供的机会的知识和见解。方法：数据最初是通过欣赏性调查 (AI) 收集的。人工智能为批判理论提供了另一种研究视角，批判理论主导了体育教师工作的调查。本研究独特地使用人工智能，结合叙事方法和多学科分析来检查两位教师在体育中使用数字游戏设计教学法的情况。结果：发现教师有动力使用数字游戏设计原则为学生提供解决问题的方法，管理学习动机，评估进度，并以通常与普通体育方法不相关的方式控制他们的学习.
