What if digital games are included in the education curriculum?




            Talking about games, as you know, games are one of the things that develop as time goes gets more complicated and becomes more fun for some people. The games are indiscriminate. Boy or girl, rich or poor can play games as much as they want. So that’s why many people are addicted to playing games, especially games online. Briefly, games become one of the important elements in entertainment. And what if the games are included in the education curriculum?


            In nowadays, there are many types of games that are combined into learning activities for schools. It can be said that incorporating games into the school and classroom environment is no longer taboo. Due to the increasingly digital development of the era, games have also spread rapidly online, known as online games. Online games were also recognized and classified by the former Minister of Youth and Sports, Imam Nahrawi, during his tenure as eSport (electronic sport) into the educational curriculum. And this policy was continued by the current Minister of Youth and Sports, Zainudin Amali. Of course, games have positive benefits, especially in the pandemic period. Games can be used as an activity that can be done to fill spare time. However, to be officially included in the educational curriculum does not feel quite right.          


If it happens, in my opinion, it is likely to shift the priority of regular subjects. Students will be more attracted to the game. When it is prohibited there are still many students who play games even less if it is facilitated or included in the education curriculum. And as I said before, the games are always developed, then the school tuitions may increase and parents must facilitate their children so they are not left behind.


            I think it is fair to say, I do not fully agree if digital games are included in the curriculum because it is better to focus or improve the existing curriculum, in my opinion. If it must include in the curriculum, it is enough used as extracurricular only.
