Data were gathered from four different studies and different games were used, in order to identify a successful model of games based learning application. Moreover, results that highlight the motivational importance of playful integration towards the promotion of self determination in students with ID, will be presented. According to the authors’ findings, special education can be benefited from the successful integration of digital games in the educational scenario, creating a safe and personalized educational environment for the students, as well as a valuable motivational tool for the educator - especially when the educator takes a threefold role, able to support a hybrid model of digital and non digital play. Trying to assist the educational efforts of special education teachers, the authors will present the results of a series of case studies and applications, the role of the educator, as well as practical considerations that resulted in the sketch of a model of playful game-based learning integration. 9 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 publisher LOMv1.0 Scientific Coordinator LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2013 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Serious games Intellectual disability Special education Motivation Self-determination Role of the educator Games based teaching 198989 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/3611/2/3611_1.129_%ce%91%ce%9d_24_10_12.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/3611 LOMv1.0creator 2016-06-13T06:38:03Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-06-13T06:38:03Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
