BİLGİSAYAR OYUNLARI İDEOLOJİ İÇERİR Mİ? Eğitsel ve Ticari Oyunlara Bakış

Year 2008, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 523 - 544, 01.09.2008

Abstract

Günümüzde medya insan hayatının vazgeçilmez unsurlarından biridir ve bilgisayar
oyunları da önemli bir medya aracı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu oyunlar, özellikle genç
neslin, boş zamanlarını değerlendirdikleri etkinlik aracı olarak kabul görmektedirler. 21’inci
yüzyılda, insanların her türlü medya aracını kendi fikir ve ideolojilerinin propagandası
olarak kullanmaları teknolojinin ve özellikle medya araçlarının önemini daha da arttırmıştır.
Bilgisayar oyunları da sahip oldukları eğlence ve ilgi çekici özellikleri nedeniyle içeriklerine
yerleştirilecek her hangi bir ideoloji ya da fikir akımını en etkili bir biçimde hedef kitleye
ulaştıracak medya araçlarının başında gelebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, günümüzün en popüler
teknolojik gelişmelerinden birisi olan bilgisayar oyunlarının ideolojik açıdan incelenmesi ve
analizi yapılmaktadır. Mevcut bilgisayar oyunlarının hangi ideolojik yaklaşımı temsil ettikleri
ve ticari ve eğitsel bilgisayar oyunlarının ideoloji bakımından irdelenmesi, çalışmanın temel
konusudur.

DO COMPUTER GAMES INCLUDE IDEOLOGY? Attitude Towards the Educational and Commercial Games

Year 2008, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 523 - 544, 01.09.2008

Abstract

Today media is inevitable for human life, and computer games are acknowledged as
important tools of media. These games are considered as media tools that young generation
use in their spare time. In the 21st century, technology and media become noticeably
important because people use media and technology to propagandize their own opinions and
ideologies. Computer games are the leading media tools to reach the targeted population
since their entertaining and interesting features can make possible to place any type of
ideology or opinion. For this purpose, this study analyzes the computer games as the most
popular technological innovations based on ideological point of view. The main themes of the
study are whether the existing games represent an ideology and analysis of commercial and
educational games with regard to ideological perspective.
