Abstract [en]

INTRODUCTION:  Programming  is  an  important  skill  in  the  21st  century  and it  is  important  to  reach  and  motivate  the  younger audience. Educational games have proved to motivate students, but research reports about girls not feeling welcome in game environments.

OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of this study is to gather information for the development of a preliminary conceptual model for girl inclusive educational game design.

METHODS:  This  study  was  conducted  as  a  requirement-focused  Design science  study.  The  focus  was  set  on  gathering  requirements for a future design and development of educational games on fundamental programming.

RESULTS:  A  thematic  analysis  resulted  in  the  main  themes  of  Exploration Without  Violence,  Collaborative  Interaction,  Character Diversity, Customisation, Graphics, Game Mechanics, Game Content, and Learning and Motivation

CONCLUSION: The accumulation of results from the literature study and the survey have been merged into a preliminary conceptual  model.  The  conclusion  is  that a  thoughtful  consideration  of  the  found  factors  can  support  the  idea  of  a Girl  Inclusive Educational Game Design.
