Abstract

Alongside the development of graphical resolution of computer displays, computer games become a prominent media for educational and recreational purposes. The visual in video games is believed to have a major role in learning, as the learning happens with visual description. Although computer games have been realized as a tool for teaching and learning of complex conceptual subjects, the way how visual design delivers wisdom was remain underexplored. This paper reviews the recent trend of children educational games to obtain an understanding of the multifaceted advantages of visual imageries of computer games. A systematic review over the pool of 200 papers from two established journals in education was conducted. The patterns of how visual design contributes to learning were investigated. The insight from the reviewed papers, subsequently, was analyzed to construct an elaboration on the use of visual computer game design to improve the learning experience.
