Computer games, pre-schoolers, parents and pre-school teachers' experience

Along with the development of technology, interactive video and computer games, based ona a digital computer technology, have also been included into the children's playing repertoire and become part of the contemporary children's culture. More and more children, including preschoolers, spend time playing computer and video games, which designers and computer game industries offer under the pretext of developmental and educational values, giving rise to a considerable controversy. Children's early involvement in the world of computer and video games has been reasoned by the contemporary imperative to acquire media and computer literacy. In everyday work, questionnaires have been designed to analyse adults, parents and preschool teacher’s attitudes toward computer games and children’s game-playing practice, as well as educational values and developmental potentials of such games. This has given a significant insight into their application to an adult educational practice. The authors find it extremely important to gain insight into the child’s perception of media, computer and game-playing environment, as well as the status of such contemporary games in the system of values and educational practice performed by adults, parents and teachers
