“…Рачунарске игре појавиле су се пре око 60 година (Sălceanu, 2014), а њихову популарност подстакло је интересовање образовне и научне заједнице (Papadakis, 2018) да се темељније испита вредност дигиталних алата у образовном контексту. Резултати неких истраживања недвосмислено потврђују да су деца раног узраста верни корисници рачунарских апликација (Granic, Lobel, & Engels, 2014;Judge, Floyd, & Jeffs 2015;Orfanakis & Papadakis, 2014), као и да уживају у коришћењу све већег спектра дигиталних алата и рачунарских игара Poulain et al, 2018), које су једна од најпопуларнијих савремених рекреативних активности (Wittek et al, 2016).…”

Today's society is characterized by the expansion of scientific and technological development, leading to changes in the conception of educational work at all levels of education. The integration of digital technology is aimed at modernizing the education system. In practice, however, even the best designed media tools can quite often prove to have numerous drawbacks. Consequently, there is a need for empirical research into the educational value of digital learning tools. In view of the fact that, apart from parents, preschool teachers are the most important mediators between children and contemporary ICT devices, the aim of our study was to explore preschool teachers' perceptions of the risks and potential negative influences of computer games on children's development, behavior and learning. Teachers' attitudes were analyzed in relation to their educational level, place of work, age, and years of service, in order to identify tendencies linked to changes in the research sample structure. A quantitative approach to result analysis was employed, with a tabular and graphical presentation of the obtained data. Research results suggest teachers believe that excessive use of computer games at preschool level is accompanied by addiction, aggressive thoughts, feelings and insensitivity to scenes of violence in the real world. In contrast, teachers believe that social isolation, passivity, a decline in children's creativity and adverse effects on their physical health are not an inevitable consequence of the excessive use of computer games. As regards statistically significant differences in teachers' attitudes, the results indicate that an increase in the number of years of service and educational level is linked to increased perceptions of the drawbacks relative to the benefits of using computer games. Teachers' place of work is not statistically significant in determining their attitudes to the potential risks of using computer games.

“…(7) A study conducted on parenting Style, the Home Environment, and Screen Time concluded that "The global increase in prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has been ascribed to several trends including the increase in consumption of energy-dense diets and the increase in sedentary behavior (in particular the increase in screen time; time spent watching TV and on computers or game consoles)". (8) A great number of studies regarding parental control were conducted and concentrated on the impact of technology consumption on children"s physical activity and sedentary lifestyle "Parents with greater support for physical activity did not report higher use for parenting practices that restricted child"s screen media use. Greater reported use of restrictive TV parenting practices were associated with lower level of child PA".…”

Given the fact that the existence of traditional games is in a dire need of preservation, it is pivotal for EFL teachers to engage in the preservation through English language teaching. By doing so, they help foster cultural awareness of the students and hopefully pass on the baton to them. With this in mind, it led the author to create teaching media which screams cultural element in it, and so Congklak Board Game came into being. It was developed to practice grammar exercises, focusing on simple passive, in a novel way. It was then brought into classroom practice to investigate the students' perceptions on the implementation of the media. Questionnaires (Likert scale questions); with particular reference to the physical aspects of the media, the benefits, and the students' attitude, and observation were provided to gather the data. The findings indicated that students had positive perceptions in terms of the three aforementioned criteria. The findings also lend support to extending teaching repertoire and at the same time maintain cultural heritage.
