Maybe kids playing online video games is not such a bad thing after all. A new study shows that teenagers who regularly played games online improved their test scores at school. However, the same study found that social media use was damaging to exam results. The study was conducted by professor Alberto Posso at Australia's RMIT University. Researchers analysed data on the online activities of more than 12,000 15-year-olds across the globe. It looked at their maths, reading and science scores. Professor Posso concluded that: "It is possible that a number of skills associated with online gaming correlate positively with general knowledge and skills tests in maths, reading, and science."

兒童玩網(wǎng)游并非壞事。據(jù)最新研究表示，長期玩網(wǎng)游青年可提高學習成績。但該研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，使用社交媒體會影響學習成績。這是澳大利亞皇家墨爾本理工大學教授阿爾貝托·波索進行的研究。研究人員對全球1.2萬多名15歲青少年的網(wǎng)絡(luò)活動進行了數(shù)據(jù)分析。并分析了他們的數(shù)學、閱讀以及科學成績。波索教授總結(jié)道：“與網(wǎng)游相關(guān)的許多技能很有可能與一些常識，以及在數(shù)學、閱讀以及科學中所需要的技能成正相關(guān)。

Critics of the study suggest the findings may not be relevant today as the games are now outdated. Education expert Nicola Johnson said: "I think technology practices move so quickly, even within a year. While this study should make headlines, you have to say it's not really a reflection of current practice." However, she did admit that children could learn useful skills while gaming. She said: "Many games involve a lot of strategising, problem solving, goal setting and regular practice in order to obtain more skills. That kind of mindset would of course seemingly correspond with achievement and learning." Conversely, the study found that students who used social media a lot scored 20 points lower on maths tests.

許多批評人士指出，該發(fā)現(xiàn)與當今的游戲不存在相關(guān)性，如今這些游戲已過時了。教育專家尼古拉·約翰遜表示：“科技應(yīng)用迅猛發(fā)展，甚至在短短的一年內(nèi)就有如此快的發(fā)展。盡管這項研究可以上頭版，但的確不能反映當今科技發(fā)展。”但她承認兒童可以通過游戲習得有用技能。她認為：“許多游戲包含大量與策略制定、問題解決、制定目標以及為獲得技能所進行的實踐。此類觀念看起來與成就和學習相吻合。”相反，使用社交媒體的學生數(shù)學成績會下降20分。
