Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify motivational elements for an online multiplayer educational computer game. Design ethnography with naturalistic interpretations has been used as a research method. After the data analysis by using the constant comparison method of grounded theory, thirteen categories emerged for the kids as the motivational elements to play this game: identity presentation, social interaction, playing, learning, ownership and control, fantasy, immersive context, curiosity, creativity, achievement, rewards, uniqueness, and context of support.
