Effectiveness of Programming Learning through Game Jam Activities

Abstract

As a class in the Information Course of the Faculty of Business Administration at Matsuyama University, students learn about 2D and 3D game development through C# programming with the game engine Unity. After learning the basics in a general book, a game jam was held for a full day. This talk reviews the educational effects of the game jam as well as the results of programming learning obtained by analyzing the results of a student questionnaire regarding the development of an original game and learning from each other through group work.
