Abstract

The present study investigates the pre-service teachers’ perceptions about teaching with games. Quantitative method was applied. The sample of the study is 272 pre-service teachers from Middle Anatolia. The questions of the study: 1. What are pre-service teachers’ perceptions about teaching with games for cultural, non-cultural, and technology games and time concern? 2. Whether pre-service teachers’ opinions about teaching with games will differ by their gender, major, and playing with technology? Descriptive statistics, MANOVA, and t-test were conducted. No gender differences were found. There was a statistically significant difference in teaching with contemporary technology games regarding pre-teachers play with technology or not. There was a statistically significant difference between majors in teaching with cultural games, non-cultural games, and technology games. The present study has implications for teacher education curriculum and game playing literature.
