ABSTRACT

Digital play is a pedagogical construct used in early childhood to explain young children’s engagement with technologies. Digital play draws upon theories of play to explain young children’s learning with technologies. This paper proposes the further development of digital play by examining how the digital aspect of digital play may also be interpreted. This is achieved using the notion of technical code from critical constructivism to show how historically-valued knowledge shapes technology use in practice. Technical code illustrates how alternative knowledge sources can be used to remediate technological understandings in practice, known in sociocultural terms as new knowledge formations.

摘要

数字游戏是一种用于幼儿期的教学结构，用于解释幼儿对技术的参与。数字游戏利用游戏理论来解释幼儿使用技术的学习。本文通过研究如何解释数字游戏的数字方面，提出了数字游戏的进一步发展。这是通过使用批判性建构主义的技术代码概念来实现的，以展示具有历史价值的知识如何在实践中塑造技术使用。技术代码说明了如何使用替代知识来源来修复实践中的技术理解，在社会文化术语中称为新知识形式。
