Description

Ludopedagogy is the idea of using games, or serious games, as a teaching method. Contrary to what such a term might suggest etymologically (“pedo” refers to “child”), the term “ludopedagogy” comes from adult education. Banks and major groups use the term to designate teaching methods to designate teaching methods targeting their employees. We could, however, refer to such approaches as “ludo-andragogy”. But this neologism has no currency.
University masters courses entitled IPM, for “multimedia pedagogical engineer”, are aimed at training adults, demonstrating that the term “pedagogy” is becoming part of our everyday lives, as much for the way we design teaching methods for children as for adults.
