Abstract
Report published in the Proceedings of the National Conference on "Education and Research in the Information Society", Plovdiv, June, 2018In today's world full of digital devices, information and communication technologies
(ICT) are already well placed in education. As an effective tool for supporting teaching, they
engage learners’ attention, motivate them, facilitate knowledge acquisition, and provide access
to a vast amount of learning resources. Computer educational games are the most intriguing
among them. However, whether teachers are willing to practice this approach, we have tried to
find out by surveying them. Based on results, an analysis of usage of educational games in
different school grades and their application in various subjects have been made. Advantages
of using learning games and their impact on learners have also been explored.Association for the Development of the Information Society, Institute of Mathematics and Informatics Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Plovdiv University "Paisii Hilendarski
