Abstract

The study highlights the motivational force and educational value of game-based learning technology in the educational process. The authors conclude that, on the one hand, games have a great potential for learning because of their dynamism, adaptability and visibility, which provides high sustainable motivation, active user participation and positive learning experience. However, on the other hand, being based on practical approaches and tasks, educational games can contribute to the successful reproduction of knowledge and automation of skills, but do not provide an opportunity to gain a deep and systematic understanding of basic conceptual facts, principles, and theories. In this regard, the authors believe that gaming technology cannot be considered as an alternative to established academic education and does not imply a rejection of traditional forms of transferring information through lectures, textbooks, etc. Only integration of gaming technology in academic education and establishment of a reasonable balance between traditional approaches and this modern technology will allow us to make the process of learning effective and efficient. The article presents an educational game developed by the authors, which will be used in the process of training graduate-students at the Department of Criminal Procedure and Forensics of the Southwest State University (Russia, Kursk).
