A computer game improved asthma knowledge in fourth graders. This knowledge was retained for four weeks, showing games are effective for school health education.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Educational Technology
  • Game-Based Learning

Background:

  • Computer-based education is established, but computer games in school health programs are rare.
  • Asthma education is crucial for children's health management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an asthma education computer game in fourth-grade classrooms.
  • To assess knowledge retention and the impact of supplementary physician talks.

Main Methods:

  • Inclusion of the "Air Academy: The Quest for Airtopia" space adventure game in fourth-grade classrooms.
  • Comparison of asthma knowledge gain between active game participation and a control group.
  • Assessment of knowledge retention over a four-week period.

Main Results:

  • Active participation in the asthma education game significantly improved students' asthma knowledge.
  • Knowledge gains were retained over a four-week period.
  • Physician-led talks added minimal additional knowledge compared to the game alone.

Conclusions:

  • The "Air Academy" computer game is an effective tool for elementary asthma health education.
  • Game-based learning can successfully enhance children's understanding of asthma.
  • This approach offers a viable and engaging method for school-based health education.
