비디오 게임이 아이들에게 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다며, 자신의 아이가 게임을 즐겨하는 것에 대해 부모들이 조바심 낼 필요가 없다고 전문가들이 전했다.
실리콘벨리 연구팀은 비디오 게임이 아이들의 인지학습능력을 최대한 12 퍼센트 향상 시켜 준다는 연구 결과를 발표했다.
또한 게임이 손과 눈의 조정력, 기억력, 문제해결능력의 향상에도 긍정적 영향을 미친다는 결과가 나타났다.
아이오와주립대학교에서 외과 전문의를 대상으로 연구를 실시한 결과, 주기적으로 게임을 해온 의사가 더욱 정확하고 나은 작업 능력을 보여준다는 사실이 알려졌다.
한편, 해외 학교에서는 최근 마인크래프트와 같은 비디오게임이 교육 목적으로 사용되고 있다.
“아이들은 마인크래프트를 통해 도시 계획, 환경 문제, 작업 완수와 미래에 대한 계획을 세우는 방법을 배운다” 라고 스웨덴의 학교 교사가 말했다.
마인크래프트는 스웨덴 출신의 프로게이머 마르쿠스 노치 페르손이 2009년 발명한 비디오게임이다.

Researchers highlight positive effect of video games
Parents who fret about their kids playing video games may not have to worry so much after all, say some experts, as they might have positive effects on children.
The International Herald Tribune reported that a game-based play helps children to improve cognitive learning by as much as 12 percent, quoting the research by a Silicon Valley research team. Gaming also enhances hand and eye coordination, memory, as well as problem-solving, the paper said.
The study by Iowa State University also suggested that surgeons who played video games regularly had more accurate performance on operations.
Moreover, a growing number schools are adopting video games such as “Minecraft” to educate students.
“They learn about city planning, environmental issues, getting things done and even how to plan for the future,” said Monica Ekmnan, a teacher of a school in Stockholm.
Minecraft is a video game created by a Swedish programmer Markus Persson in 2009. The game centers upon building, exploration, creativity and collaboration.
“Minecraft extends kids’ spatial resoning skills, construction skills and understanding of planning,” said Evri Klopfer, professor of MIT. “In many ways, it’s like a digital version of Lego.”
