The way of making games is not to let students play games, but to apply some of the theoretical and practical experience of the video game industry to education.

The first thing Leon needs to do is to increase the positive feedback of students in their bachelor's degree and reduce the negative feedback.

What is positive and negative feedback?

The so-called positive feedback is generally a kind of feedback that is positive, positive, and good for you, as opposed to negative feedback.

For example, if you are playing a game in the dormitory, and you are hungry at noon and don't want to go out, and then you ask your roommate who is going out to eat at this time to help you bring back a meal, if he readily agrees, and after less than half an hour, he brings you a hot meal, that is a kind of positive feedback, if he pushes three blocks four, finds all kinds of excuses to reject you, and makes you have to go to the cafeteria to eat by yourself, it is a negative feedback.

This theory is also very common in the video game industry, where a lot of the job of game planners is to increase the positive feedback of players while playing the game while reducing the negative feedback.

Just like a player fights monsters, explodes equipment, money, materials, and gains experience, that is positive feedback, what game planning should do is to make it easier for players to fight monsters to a certain extent, and it is easier to get loot, but it cannot reduce the degree of fun that players get when fighting monsters.

And to reduce negative feedback, such as the player was accidentally killed by a monster, then find a way to reduce his loss, such as many early games, once the player dies, the things on his body will be blown up, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to many players, so most of these games have been eliminated, like now, after the death of the game character, there is basically no loss, and even, in order to reduce the time cost of the player's return from the resurrected city, the plan also intimately prepared functions such as in-situ resurrection, as well as teammates to help up, etc... … It's all about minimizing negative feedback from players, making it as convenient and comfortable as possible for them to play the game.

This is also a small reason why "DO·TA" is not as popular as "League of Legends", because the setting of "DO·TA" that the characters will drop gold coins after they die is simply unacceptable to many glass-hearted players.

Can this theory be applied to education?

Absolutely!

In fact, many games themselves are also very monotonous and boring, such as the famous "Dungeon Warriors", which has two very boring gameplay, one is called "moving bricks" and the other is called "brushing the abyss".

"Moving bricks" is generally to prepare a large number of high-level characters, give them a set of ordinary equipment, and then go to a map in the game called "Grundi Brick Factory", and then brush this map repeatedly, one character's fatigue value is brushed, and then the next character is replaced, until all the characters' fatigue value is brushed.

And "brush the abyss" is the same, the player opens the abyss map through the abyss ticket, and then controls the character to brush, the general choice of the map is the same, it is a vigorous repeated fight against monsters, the fatigue value is spent and the fatigue medicine is drunk, and the next day is not brushed to the next day.

This kind of behavior of brushing the same map for a long time every day is obviously very monotonous and boring, encountering the same map, the same monsters, just kill all the way, nothing fancy, monotonous and mechanical, not at all to get pleasure from the game.

But why are so many players constantly engaged in it?

The reason is simple, because they are able to make the characters gain something in "Brush Brush"! "Moving bricks" can get gold coins, materials, and even abyss rolls, materials and abyss coupons can be sold for gold coins, and gold coins can be exchanged for bonds exchanged for Hua Yuan, "Brush the Abyss" is the same, sometimes a flash of gold light, is the highest level of epic equipment in the game, if you are lucky, you can still use your own character, so that the character can become stronger, and you can get the envy of other players!

It is this instant positive feedback that has supported these players to persevere, and they have persevered for this day, for several hours a day, doing these jobs similar to those of workers on the assembly line.

Of course, students also have positive and negative feedback when they go to school, for example, they have made great progress in the final exam, and they have been in the top ten of the class, and their parents are very happy to see the report card, and they will take you out to eat and be willing to work, for example, if you don't do well in the exam, you have regressed a lot, and you have failed several courses, so you can only go home and eat fried pork slices with bamboo shoots.

These are also positive and negative feedback, but they are generally referred to as rewards or punishments.

Is this kind of behavior useful?

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

For example, one child will feel the "love of the family" because of these behaviors, so that they will continue to improve, or work hard to pass the exam, but there are still some children who will stagnate, regress in their grades, or still do not work hard and continue to fail the exam.

Why? Because neither the positive nor the negative feedback is really positive or negative.

To put it simply, none of them are what children want!

The child who has been in the top ten of the class may not want to eat Kendanglao, she may want to buy a new dress, or he envy the four-wheel drive toy that he just bought at the same table, but because she knows that the family is in financial difficulties, the skirt is too expensive, and the sensible one does not mention it, and he is satisfied with a meal, or he knows that his parents are strict and will not buy him something like a four-wheel drive car, so he also buries his desire in his heart, and these children are also rewarded, but this reward is not a positive feedback for them.

And what about the child who failed the exam and was beaten? Some of them may have been used to it, from childhood to adulthood, women's singles, men's singles, and mixed doubles have seen a lot. Others, because of the hatred of being beaten, have a rebellious mentality, you beat me, right? Then I won't listen to you! I just don't study hard! I just didn't pass the test! In this way, the same will not produce the urging effect of negative feedback.

Children's hearts are simple and very complex, and because the three views have not yet been fully formed, they have another set of thinking patterns that are different from adult logic. Entering a child's heart is a huge and arduous project.

It can be said that in this world, more than 99% of parents can't do this, they can't enter their children's hearts at all, they can only do things purely according to their own thinking logic, and make the next stupid and ridiculous decision for their children under the pretext of "this is for your good".

So what should education look like in the virtual reality world?

Give them an NPC teacher who is proficient in psychology and pedagogy and is good at entering the inner world of children, conduct one-on-one teaching, and give children a deep education that involves the depths of the soul and will never be forgotten?

Of course not! The process of education is also the process of children's growth, although the NPC teacher may have a very good appetite for the students, the two get along well, and the students feel very good, but in fact, the growth of the students is restricted, and they are limited to the educational framework planned by the NPC teacher, such restrictions are easy to erase the children's nature, so that they become puppets under this invisible psychological control, a human on the surface, and controlled inside, like a robot-like monster!

Because in the vast majority of cases, at the same time that nature is erased, it is also the talent, talent, and talent that are erased, and the child's future is erased!

Therefore, in terms of children's future psychological growth, Li Ang does not intend to involve too much, even if it is learning and education, it should be a framework that is generally biased towards freedom, just give them a detailed rules and regulations of rewards and punishments.

Specifically, the classes in the virtual reality world are not geographically limited, a class of 30 people, the age of the students and the grade of education are the same, but they come from different dream colleges in the south and north of the world, forming this small class teaching class.

Students generally have eight classes a day, four in the morning and four in the afternoon, each class is 45 minutes, and there is a 15-minute break between the two classes.

At class time, each student will be transported to their own place in their classroom, and will be fixed in a small space within a radius of their seat, and will begin to listen to the NPC teacher at the level of a master teacher teach the corresponding subject.

Of course, it's not all lectures, there are also reviews, exams, lectures and other classes, students only need to listen carefully at this time, because it is a virtual reality world, students can no longer do any small actions in class, and it is one person at one table, and can not chat with other students.

In addition, in order to prevent some students from breaking the classroom discipline, each student is muted during class, and must raise their hands to report, and only after the approval of the NPC teacher is allowed to stand up and speak, of course, sometimes the NPC teacher will also ask questions and so on.

This is what classes look like, and they are not very different from classes in real school.

The key is to reward and punish when learning.

The first is to do homework, there are main courses and sub-subjects in the classes every day, and generally the main course NPC teachers will leave a certain amount of after-school homework for students to do, and it is done in the virtual reality world.

Every night after dinner, there are two hours for everyone to study and do homework in the evening, because after professional planning, there is basically no meaningless homework in these homework, such as copying the text ten times, etc., if students do it seriously, two hours is more than enough.

The reward is also very simple, for example, today on the Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry four main courses, the teacher left four homework, then every time you do a good homework, you can submit it at that time, after submitting the standard, students can get 2 points of attendance, all four homework are submitted, today's homework is all done, will get 2 points of attendance points, adding up to 10 points of attendance points.

Of course, because it is a virtual reality world, there are invisible NPCs to supervise, and doing homework can only be done by yourself, and you can't plagiarize.

But what if a student doesn't do their homework? That's also very simple, 2 points will be deducted for each homework, all of which will be deducted, and another 2 points will be deducted, adding up to 10 points for attendance.

Attendance Points are the only currency in this educational version of the virtual reality world! It is also a real circulating goods, the most precious thing. As long as you have points, you can buy countless good things and go to countless good places in this world.

For example, on Saturdays and Sundays, some entertainment facilities may be opened in this virtual reality world, such as the "Good Sleep Playground", students can only enter by paying a 50-point ticket fee, and the various facilities in it are also available for additional charges, such as 45 points for a roller coaster, 25 points for a carousel, 40 points for a pirate ship, 35 points for a haunted house, and 32 points for a Ferris wheel......

There are also special places to sell delicious food, such as an arm-sized roast turkey leg for 25 points, a strawberry-flavored ice cream ball for 10 points, a rainbow marshmallow for 20 points, and three cumin beef skewers for 15 points......

There are also some other facilities such as "Good Dream Water Park", "Good Dream Cinema", "Good Dream Science and Technology Museum", "Good Dream Mall", "Good Dream Video Game City", ......

One of the most important is the "Good Dream Library", where you don't need points to enter, but you need points to read books inside, each book can only turn the first 10 pages, and if you want to continue reading later, it's 1 point a book. Except for some books that do not conform to the core values of socialism, there are basically all kinds of books here, and students can read whatever books they want.

Sometimes, when you don't understand some books and don't understand a lot, students can also use points to summon special NPC teachers for advice, and the price is also very low, even if it is a Nobel Prize master-level NPC, it doesn't exceed 5 points an hour.

To put it simply, as long as you have diligence points, you can do whatever you want in this world.

Each student will get a fixed 100 points for attendance every month, and if you want more, you have to work hard to earn it.

The point is, this way of earning is not only to do homework at most a dozen points a day, but also to get the most points, but also to take exams!

For each exam, students will receive points according to their scores, but these points are multiplied by the coefficients of the stage.

For example, if a 100-point test paper gets a full score of 100 points, multiply it by a 3-fold coefficient, and the student can get 300 points for attendance; If the score is 90 or above, it is a 2 times coefficient, which is almost 180+ attendance points; For those with 80 to 89 points, it is 1.5 times the coefficient, rounded, 70 to 79, it is 1 times the coefficient, and the number of exams is as much as possible, and from 60 to 69, the 0.5 times coefficient can only be taken half, and those below 60 do not have attendance points.

To put it simply, if you are a top student, you can get a full score in the exam, and in junior high school, it is nine courses, and after taking the exam once a month, you can earn 2700 attendance points!

As for the scumbags who failed...... Gee.

And that's just the usual monthly exams, and there are two big exams in each semester! A mid-term and a final-end are all double the integral coefficient! To put it simply, the perfect score coefficient is 6 times! One is 600 points!

In addition, in order to minimize negative feedback from students, the exact number of scores a student has taken is not announced by the team, and the school will not rank the students, and only the students themselves know how much they have scored.

However, you can't fake the points, you have made a few friends among your classmates, this Sunday there is a good dream skating rink open, everyone agreed to play together, and then you can't get the points, this face problem is very fatal.

Of course, you can also resist not playing and be alone...... However, there is another place called "Good Dream Mall"!

A large box of GUNPLA, 1:60 scale, more than 500 parts, machine guns, lightsabers, wings, transformation, or limited edition, special camouflage livery, only sold for two days, do you want it?

Want! I want to fight! Want to play! I want to show off to my friends!

Okay, 1500 attendance points.

Can't take it out? If you can't take it out, just look at it!

Xuebajun in the class killed three parties again in this monthly exam, and won a large number of diligence points, Xuebajun has always liked the goddess classmates in the class, with a wave of his hands, the class was full of flowers, and the whole school broadcast: "Nalan Xiufen, my Sima Tieniu likes you!" "Broadcast it three times in a row, and then the two of them went to the "Good Dream Barbershop" to do their hair together, are you envious?

Well, it's a little sassy, but what if the goddess just likes this one?

The goddess celebrates her birthday, and the scholar Sima Tieniu gives a generous gift, what petal skirt, plush bear, Barbie doll suit, you are shy, you can't even afford to give a pair of underwear, are you embarrassed?

Here, diligent learning points are everything, face, enjoyment, status, and love......

Here, exams are no longer scary, they are good things that every student is looking forward to and fighting for!

But what if there are still people who are not motivated and don't want to study hard?

There is also negative feedback, which is the deduction points mentioned earlier!

The attendance score can be 0 or negative, and once it becomes negative, the student's model will be modified to the hard study mode.

The hard learning mode is also very simple, that is, in your virtual reality world, you will be a stand-alone machine from now on, you can't see other people, you can't go anywhere else, you can only stay in the classroom, you can only be confined to your own seat, you can only listen to the class, and once you enter the virtual reality world, even if you have free time, you can only sit there except for homework, and you can't do anything else.

Of course, if you are willing to do your homework seriously again and seriously raise your hand to answer the questions raised by the NPC teacher, you can still earn some points, turn losses into profits, and return to normal mode.

In addition, there is another very important function of the study credit, which is to purchase virtual reality time.

Everyone who has been to school knows that when they go to school, they don't play enough every day, except for class every day, they do homework, and the time to finish homework is very late, leaving little time for everyone to play.

But Dream Academy is different, in addition to the fixed 10 hours of virtual reality world time per day, students can also use the price of 5 attendance points for 1 hour to purchase additional free entry time.

For example, if you buy eight hours and set the time to use it, then you can wear a dream helmet and enter the virtual reality world for the eight hours you sleep tonight, and play freely while replenishing sleep.

For example, if you just bought a 500-point GUNPLA, you have to have time to assemble it, right? But anyone who has assembled a model knows that this kind of robot with hundreds of parts, it takes at least four or five hours to install one, and the time on Saturday and Sunday is so precious, how can it be spent here?

At this point, if you have enough points, you can buy five hours to enter the virtual reality world while you sleep, and enjoy assembling Gundam robots.

In addition to playing by themselves, players can also play with others, for example, you can spend 2 points for an hour, rent an activity room, find a few like-minded companions, and you can form an interest group together, such as four-wheel drive interest group, skateboarding interest group, four-rotor fixed-wing aircraft interest group, aerobics interest group, etc., everyone plays together.

Of course, it's not just about playing, players can also buy time to continue studying, strengthen their ability and strength during the exam, play better strength, get more scores, and then earn back all the points invested at this time.

In addition to various attractions on Saturdays and Sundays, there will also be competitions in the virtual reality world.

For example, the "First Good Dream Cup Essay Contest (Junior High School Group)", then the students of the junior high school of the National Dream Academy can participate, and through two days and four rounds of competition, one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes will be determined.

These winners can not only receive a special medal of honor and achievement in their personal virtual profile, but also receive a large number of attendance points, of which the first prize winner has at least tens of thousands of points!

There are many similar competitions, such as mathematics competitions, physics competitions, chemistry competitions, drawing competitions, music competitions, dance competitions...... The prize money for these competitions varies, with more points for those related to the main course and less for the minor subject.

In addition, there are some competitions that have nothing to do with learning, such as four-wheel drive off-road racing, electric robot battles, small aircraft fancy flying competitions, etc., but these competitions do not have points, only medals, or medals that are obviously one size smaller.

Of course, such a materialistic rule model does not mean that the virtual reality world attaches importance to the ideological and moral construction of students.

In the weekly curriculum, whether it is elementary, middle, or high school, there will be a special ideological and moral course.

Moreover, unlike the courses that pretend to be in reality, these ideological and moral courses are real, from human nature, law, thought, philosophy, and sex education, they will be involved, and they will be given example videos to assist teaching.

For example, when teaching traffic safety so quickly, they will play videos of various traffic accidents, the kind of flesh and blood, and tell them how these tragedies happened and how we can avoid them.

There is also the crime part, which will also tell them what a real prison is like, and let them spend 45 minutes in such a prison to really experience it.

There are also special legal experts, senior criminal police, old forensic doctors and other NPC teachers, who will show them real cases of murder, rape, robbery, theft, and drug trafficking, and show them how these criminals were found step by step, why they committed crimes, and how they were punished by law step by step.

Of course, in addition to teaching, there are also corresponding rules of thought and morality.

The problem of school violence has always been a big headache for the education community in various countries, but this kind of thing does not happen in the Academy of Good Dreams.

In the virtual reality world, students can't attack others with their hands, if you pretend to hit others, scare others, then you will be deducted points, at least 100 points at a time, scolding is the same thing, you can scold people and swear, but the points are deducted, at least 50 points at a time, the points are deducted too much, then let me go to the hard learning mode to play stand-alone.

Of course, if you are a top student and study hard every day just to earn points and curse others, this Li Ang can only choose to compromise and let these top students exploit this rule loophole.

It's the same outside of virtual reality, doing sports and eating will be supervised by a teacher, when everyone is in the dormitory, each dormitory has a camera, and there is a special behavior supervision and inspection management of this piece, once it is found that something is wrong, there is violence such as bullying others, the light is closed in a small black room, and the heavy is expelled, there is no second word.
