My thesis explores the role of play in contemporary education in the context of promoting child development.
The questions in my research seek answers to the reasons for playing games, their function in education, and their representation in school subjects. My goal is to explore the possibilities and benefits of playing games as a pedagogical method and tool, focusing on the primary school age group.
In my work, I will examine the role of games in the development of children, the concept of games at different ages, the characteristics of specific games for educational purposes, and how games can become an important pedagogical tool in school education.
