Abstract

Along with knowledge acquisition, techniques and procedures, the goal of education is to develop individuals capable of reacting to planned or unplanned circumstances, making decisions in a set time. The focus of digital game-based learning (DGBL) under an instructional framework context, pedagogical standards link where computer games are an integral part of learning. You teach with computer games for teaching content, has the potential to positively influence the motivation of students to learn and retain knowledge. In this article we have reviewed literature in this field and determined whether the use of computer games, especially in mathematics, contributes to a more efficient implementation of educational objectives at all levels of education.
