Abstract

 The popularity of the computer games are increasing every day. Spending time in front of the computers with almost no physical activity causes many health related problems. Recent technologies such as Kinect sensors may have the potential to reduce the physical side effects of the computer games. Nevertheless, the physical and emotional effects of playing computer games with the Kinect on users are still not clear. The effects of playing computer games with and without Kinect were compared in the study with 21 prospective teachers studying at the Education Faculty located in Zonguldak, Turkey in 2014. The mixed method research design was used to explore the research questions. The game playing motivation scale, self-reported muscular activity figure and structured interview questions were used to collect data. Besides t-test, descriptive analyses of the qualitative and quantitative data were conducted for analysis. Findings revealed that using the games with Kinect sensors improved users’ motivation and muscular activity. Also the Kinect has changed game players’ opinions on games. Further research should investigate the correlation between the motivation and emotional effects of the Kinect use on computer game players.

 Her geçen gün bilgisayar oyunlarının popülaritesi artmaktadır. Bilgisayarın önünde hiçbir fiziksel hareket yapmadan oturmak birçok sağlık problemine neden olmaktadır. Son teknolojiler örneğin Kinect sensörler bilgisayar oyunlarının yan etkilerini azaltacak potansiyele sahiptir. Ne var ki, bilgisayar oyunlarını Kinect sensör ile uygulamanın fiziksel ve duygusal etkileri hala netlik kazanmamıştır. Bu araştırmada 2014 yılında Zonguldak, Türkiye’de bulunan Ereğli Eğitim Fakültesinde okumakta olan 21 öğretmen adayının Kinect sensörü kullanarak ve Kinect sensör kullanmadan bilgisayar oyunlarını oynamalarının etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırma sorularını cevaplamak için karma araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Oyun motivasyon ölçeği, bireysel kas aktivite bildirim şekli ve yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. t-testin yanında, nitel ve nicel verilerin betimsel değerlendirmeleri yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara Kinect sensör ile oyun oynamanın bireylerin motivasyonunu ve kas aktivitesini artırdığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, Kinect sensörü ile oyun oynayan bireylerin oyunlara karşı fikirleri değişmiştir. İleride yapılacak olan araştırmalar Kinect sensör kullanımının bilgisayar oyunlarını oynayanların üzerindeki motivasyon ve duygusal etkilerinin korelasyonunu incelemelidir.
