Game Based Education With Android Mobile Devices

Game based education with android mobile devices of the increasing usage of smart phones and laptops, android application usage rates also increase. To make life easier, android applications are used to serve users. Besides, education is one of the most important part of a human being’s life. With the improving and widespreading of technological opportunities, many of the technological developments are integrated with education area. Especially, researchers think that mobile devices will provide many opportunities.

Also, with the help of the improved methods, the education and learning periods will be more amusing and useful. Thus, more succesful results will be gained. For this reason, many applications and platforms are started to be developed recently for providing more successful education period for children and students. The basic aim of our project is to provide a mobile education application for primary school kids. Thus, they will reach their lesson topics and they will make exams and solve more questions at every place and every time over their smart phone.

Education can be given and presented in classes mostly but today education can be presented in very different places and ways like workshops, seminars and symposiums to different ages between 5 and 90 in . At the workshops in Pera Museum, the children meet with art and have a conscious about museums and art. Besides, at the alzheimer project, old people meet with the art in a museum environment to improve their sensitivity about responding to external and visual stimuli.

Today, technology improves very rapidly with the increasing usage of computers and mobile devices, so many applications are developed for users about many areas. Education is one of these areas but the importance of the applications about education area is noticed lately.

Education period is the most important and long term part of human life. Thus, new methods and techniques that will improve and make the period easier are easily accepted. So that, online education platforms and applications are getting widespread. At the begining, these platforms were designed as online education site. Later, lecture presentations are presented as video records and applications.

Then, with the development and utilization of mobile devices in education, many android applications are started to be designed according to the needs in education area to attract the attention of families who have children.

In addition to lectures, games can be utilized for education. Well designed games and game like applications can be used as entertainment and motivation before or after the long education periods. Also, the game itself can be used for education with embedding some imformations in games. Thus, utilizing from game dynamics in everyday life attracts great attention of researchers, recently.

In many applications that are developed for android and mobile devices, many gamification principles are used. Also, many education applications are presented in android platform, recently.

Smartphone usage increase between young people, because everyday many innovations are presented to the users: integrated cameras, geopositioning and velocimeters. Thus, smartphones utilized in many areas health, education and games. In paper a game named gymkhanas is presented for m-learning . The game is based on surpassing challenges and passing the levels. So, the players will have talent and ability at the end of the game.

The cooperation of mobile computing with computer science lessons considered in. Here, smart mobile devices are used as learning tools to increase the motivation and focus of the students on computer science lessons. In the project, many computer science subjects including android-enabled smartphones are designed for lab environments.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In section II the structure of gamification with basic parts are briefly explained. The proposed system description and implementations together with the gained interfaces are given in Section III. II. GAMIFICATION AND EDUCATION With the ever improving computer and communication technologies, the users can reach many applications immediately. And also they can utilize this technology at every area of their daily routine. Especially, young people between the age of 10-30, have grown together with these technological improvements. For this reason, they use internet and social networks actively and easily. And while surfing over internet, they always come up with the gamification principles. Thus, this generation already spend most of their time over internet with games.
